January 2018
We met yesterday at ten o'clock at Perkins in Denver. Dorothy was there, along with Diane, Courtney, Cheryl & Chris, Janey and John.
Chris brought a two drawer stack which he made from scratch, except for the locking hardware (used hardware from trashed cabinet). Beautifully made with black walnut drawer fronts, decorated with router grooves, two across and two up and down each face. The drawer bodies were made from poplar. I wish we had pictures. With food ordering and other activities we somehow missed taking pictures. Maybe Chris or Cheryl can take and post some pictures.(hint, hint)
Diane brought an antique sad iron, with a wooden removable handle. It was probably made sometime in the late eighteen hundreds, but just guessing.

For Christmas, Courtney got a small bag with pictures of Wilcox & Gibbs machines on the sides. He brought it to show, as well as to carry a few rubber balls, which are used to stop treadle wheel rotation in the wrong direction. Cheryl wanted some for her treadle.

Weather was good for travel and for our meeting, being clear and in the fifties. Not bad for a Colorado January. More next month.
