Spring Picnic - KMI Contest

[frankson]

First of all, let me echo the words of other members....what a fabulous picnic!!! It was great to have the opportunity to put a face to a name and talk with members about their love of woodworking.

We reviewed the designs submitted (i.e. projects our kids could make) and awarded KMI t-shirts to the winners:

Ray Martin - Robin nesting shelf
Dave O'Nan - Wine glass caddy
Mike Shelley - Pot Luck carry tray


Thanks, to everyone for their ideas,

The KMI Volunteers


P.S. a big " THANK YOU " to Steve Coles for putting the picnic together

Jeff, I am working on my kid's Adirondack chair and when I get it finished you can have a copy of my pattern stock and I'll also bring a pattern for the wine glass caddy thingy.

Dang, I was lured into the parking lot flea market and missed the awards. :roll:

So I missed Ray's Robin nesting shelf :crybaby2:

So is there a pix posted of that one????? I saw DaveO's and Mike's entries (though I'm not sure Mike knew he had an entry until others suggested it) :lol:

Jeff it was great to see you and Jimmy again, and of course, meet the other guys. I know Linda enjoyed finally getting to chat with you too. Keep up the great work :icon_thum

Roger,

I'll be happy to put one of these nesting shelves together and post a pic.

The idea is a VERY simple box / shelf that young folks can assemble. According to the experts, Robbins like the open shelf rather than the closed 'bird house'. Even the nail holes are pre-drilled. The suggested kit contains the wood cut to size, the nails, sandpaper, and the instructions.

Jeff,
I found these projects on the www.skil.com site that may be of interest for your kids.

Mark,

thanks for the Skil site info. We're planning to have a sitdown with the team from the local Children's museum and think some of the patterns and/or door hangers could be a simple project (we cut the wood and they have their artroom kids do the paint).
