 Tommy Roland did his usual through job of describing to Saturday's gathering how he builds his vaneered boxes. In fact, he had enough material that he could have used the entire day rather than a little over an hour. The club may well schedule a longer class from Tommy to go into more detail for those who are interested. Keep tuned as they say. 

If you have not seen one of his vaneered boxes before they are truly works of art. Although Tommy goes about the process more like a metal worker than a woodworker. In case you don't know Tommy is also a metal worker and is as precise in his measurements as Ken Vickery. Well almost, Tommy works in 64s (0.0156) with wood rather than thousands of a inch (0.001 also know within the club as 1 KV). Seriously though Tommy's boxes are good enough that he has won several awards.
