PATINA January 12, 2025 Meeting
January 12 @ 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
The January 2025 in-person CLUB meeting in McLean VA, was held SUNDAY January 12 with the usual Start time of 9:00am.
The weather was very cold and windy, so tailgating was moved inside. The meeting commenced around 11:00 with a robust mini-auction, with a few of the highlights below:
After the mini-auction, club member Dave Kerley won the raffle for a tool chest made by the late Tom Law that was purchased at our Damascus Annual event then donated to our group by a gracious buyer. The tool chest is extremely well made with several types of joinery visible. Tom was an extremely talented woodworker, aside from a saw expert sharpener with a rich legacy.
Club member Greg Ricketts won the drawing for a $100 Woodcraft gift card for all new or existing members who have paid their yearly dues, which included any members who paid at this January meeting. Membership is only $15 which serves to help cover costs for facilities and refreshments.
The program for this January meeting was Member’s Choice. Members brought tools and projects which they shared with the group; among these were:
Next up…our annual Tool Show and Auction on March 15th!!!
We encourage anyone wishing to contribute to the March auction to bring items to the January meeting. Items can be either consigned or donated to our 501 ( C )3 organization. If consigned, our fee is only 15%. We have already accepted a large load of very good tools for the March event so we are thankful to the PATINA members and families who donated tools at such an early date. If you cannot attend, consignment information and forms are on the website at PATINA Annual Tool Show and Auction and Auction – Damascus, Maryland
