Our Veterans Club has wanted to make sure that old flags are disposed of properly.  The community needed a special place for residents to deposit their old flags, so the Activities Department asked the Woodchips to make a receptacle.  Glen Panning, himself a veteran and excellent woodworker, accepted the project and completed it in short order.  The receptacle needed to be similar in decor and

How to make a soccer ball?  Woodchipper Teo O. tells us how. First you have to create 12 pentagons, then the 5 sides of each pentagon is beveled at 31.7 degrees.

The drawings were developed while under virus lockdown earlier this year in Australia.  Once back home: an estimated 400 hours of work to finish design and cut 12 versions.  The Buddhas are intended to bring calm, peace, and joy into the current troubled era and to support The Tibetan Aid Project.
