We all know how hard the emergency and ICU nurses are working. They truly are heroes.
NCWW is very good at giving back to the community - Let us focus our efforts on handmade Thank You gifts that could be given to all these nurses. A small thoughtful gift with a nice Thank You from North Carolina Woodworkers card could be made in quantity by our skilled woodworkers in their own shops and then gathered up and delivered to our local hospitals.
Just a suggestion: Here are some small wooden angels that I have made. They take about twenty minutes each.
All this takes is a lathe, some 8/4 square stock and beginner skills
I will organize all aspects of this project and will accept all the help I can get.
My goal would be to produce and distribute 1000 of these before the end of June
50 volunteers making 20 each could make this happen
Will you join the team ?? If you are not a turner, there is still much for you to do -No worries, I will put you to work
Please respond here
Thanks
UPDATE 4/25
We have 7 turners signed up, thanks folks -- I know many more are out there
For non-turners, Scott M is coming up with a great scroll saw pattern
I have a lot of 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 x 6 mahogany blanks, plus I will have can cherry from Jack and maple from Coleman
I will be setting up local drop off point where we can collect and distribute
I also need somebody to create a NCWW thank you note that will be attached to each angel
Plus I need a team to help distribute
As an additional option, we could make angel earrings and necklaces. They are simple to make and I have everything we need
I have put together a task list and volunteer names. Please tell me what task you can help with.
