As of this writing, we have covered initial introductions and shared some of the unplugged hand tools that members have made. Our next meeting will focus on technique: how would you use hand tools to create a rabbit/rabbet/fillister on the end of a board?

What other topic ideas are out there?
 
Here are some possibilities:
1. Cross band veneer faced edges on a drawer front.
2. Fitting a bread board end to a cross grain tenoned board and allowing for stock movement (such as a slant front desk lid.)
3. Fitting a beaded drawer rail with a tenon end into a mortise hole of a beaded stile on a case frame.
4. Shaping an OG mold or a thumbnail molded edge on a radius table-top edge.

Wes.
