| DECEMBER 1960. |
| WOODWORK HOBBY NOTES. |
| This is the first time that the antediluvian Order of Wood-butchers and Wooden overcoat builders has dashed into print. This has been solely due to pressure of work, but we are glad to report that the nightly procession of members of other, lesser clubs, intent on borrowing nails, hammers, and screws, wishing to have a few thousand feet of timber "pushed through" our bandsaw, has dwindled to a mere seven or so. We can at last look round our sawdust kingdom and take stock. |
| During the last term we have stepped up from our little heap of "trays without joints", and have launched out into a sea of coffee tables, cabinets, magazine racks and veneer. Unlike the immortal Lem Putt, you see, we are not specialists, and all is grist to our mill. Special mention should be made of J/Sgt Watts, who has won a well-deserved Silver Award. |
| Every trifle has its plum, and ours is no exception, Our instructor has often been seem in the past, ruminating over the circular saw and aiming a disconsulate thumb at the starer button - to no avail. Latterly however, he is often seen rubbing its table lovingly with a piece of oily waste, crooning "Cwm Rhondda". Can it be that those fearsome incantations will have their effect at last? Shall we one day say with Godley, as we enter our shop; "What can it be that wareth thus?" |
