Community Service Group / Toy Factory
Meetings are every Wednesday from 9:00 am to Noon. Currently the group is working on toy parts for our Toy Factory booth at the NWA Showcase woodworkers show in Saratoga Springs held each year in March. In addition to working on Toy Factory projects, we also work on projects to improve the shop itself. We also talk woodworking, so this is a social session as well. Bring your questions, recent builds, new tools, tips and tricks or anything you would like to share with your fellow woodworkers. It is a good opportunity to network with other members and get help solving those pesky woodworking challenges.
