Shop is Hoppin

Things are really starting to roll at the OPENWorkshop. Everyone is making lots o progress with their projects. Their was a really good atmosphere of everyone taking turns with tools and sharing advice and help. And we even blew out the lights a couple of times (which is what happens when you have 4 power tools running into one power strip I s'pose).
Thanks to Carol Jo for taking the pics and bringing in all the fabric!

Illinois Shelf

I completed the Illinois shelf! The craftsmanship is pretty poor in some places, but I think it should get the job done. Here are some pictures.

Workshop CANCELLED for this week 7-18-07

For those of you who are not on our mailing list I wanted to let you know that OPENworkshop will not be happening this Wednesday due to an Open Critique taking place at the same time at OPENSOURCE Art. If you would like to participate in the Open Critique at OPENSOURCE Art check out this link: Open Critique

Back In Action

After rain delay, 4th of July celebrations and people being out of town OPENworkshop was back at it this week. Louis has kept hard working on his shelves which look really nice. Fred came in to work on his project and I almost finished up my Illinois shelf. I think all the tools are up and running now so we have a fully functioning guerrilla wood shop if anyone would like to come build things. Louis made some nice fliers which should be popping up around town so hopefully we can gain more interest and have some new people come to OPENworkshop and try building something. Check out the images from this week.
