Jettycats Group Seeking Woodworking Volunteers
My friends and I take care of a Jettycat feral cat colony out in Westport Washington. Several volunteers donate both time and money ensuring that these cats always have sufficient food, water and veterinary care. They also do their best to trap the kitties, get them medical care and neuter them and then either find homes for them or release them back into the colony. At present the cats live in the rocks on the jetty or under buildings. Their food is placed in wooden feeding boxes made quite a number of years ago. These boxes are getting to be quite old and are open to the elements. I am enclosing a photo that shows what the condition of the boxes that cats have now. These boxes are closed on three sides and open in the front, leaving them wide open to the elements.

There is a group who care for a feral cat colony down in Gold Beach, Oregon that have built a little village of houses complete with sailing ship and lighthouse. It not only provides a safe place for the cats to eat but has also become a tourist attraction that is listed in tour guides. Many tourists who come to see the sanctuary leave donations which are used to help care for the cats. These cats are in need of better housing.

We have looked at what they have done in Oregon and would like to do something like that in Westport. Our only challenge is that we do not have the skills to accomplish such a project. This is why I am writing you. If we provided your group with the basic requirements, are there members of your group who would like to donate their time, skills and material to construct new houses for the kitties. We would need about 7 or 8 structures.

If there isn't anyone in your organization that can help us, would you be able to recommend someone who might be able to? Here is an article about the Jetty cats in Westport http://www.hava-heart.org/jettyCats.htm I am also enclosing photos of the Jetty cats in Goldbeach Or. http://www.imageenvision.com/photo_gallery/jetty_cats_1.html

Turning Equipment
Hi. I am writing to you in hope of information and or help. When my husband retired he had the goal of learning the art of wood turning. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way. As a result I have equipment that has never been used or very little. It is makes sense to dispose of these items. We live in Toledo WA and want to offer the following as one unit

Tormex Grinder 2004 with four tool holders. Had 1% use. Coronet turning lathe with stand ( English) CLB/220 60 cycle115 volts. (less than 5% use)

Record power tool (English) Lathe DML24X CE6 02990 Can. Never out of the box. Marples tools M 10005 1/2 Gouge, 1/2 parting tool, 1/2 chisel New in box. Plus many hardwood blocks. Asking $1,000.00 for all. What I am asking is if you know of anyone that might be interested or have a way of posting this information at one of your meetings or any suggestions of how to get them sold. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.

I can be contacted my E-mail rainygal@toledotel.com or by phone at 360-864-6289 June Harms

SHARE WOODSHOP......HAVE MACHINES...... NEED SPACE
Moving to Seattle, have woodshop machines...surface planer, large lathe, table saw, band saw, jointer, drill press, dust collection system, etc. Looking for a stable, probably retired woodworker with a safe, secure double garage who would keep the rust off with hobby or very light commercial use. I would need access to the shop occasionally, probably no more than 10 hours monthly, for hobby use. Would also need some floor space for cabinets for my hand tools. Do not yet have a place to live in Seattle, and don't know if my place will have a garage, so this could be a long term arrangement, can start with a 6 month committment if that works for you. If this interests you, send me a note and try to convince me that you'd be a good adoptive parent to the tools.

To Interested Parties:

I began working at Wilson High School in Tacoma, Washington this year. I have been cleaning, organizing and planning as well as teaching five classes a day since September. I look forward to building a program that gives students an opportunity to experience a positive woodworking experience.

I am enjoying support from many friends, including your Clair Boussum. Along with my efforts, I can use some support in the way of donations. If you can afford to donate anything that we need, it will be greatly appreciated. Whether you can give a roll of tape or ten roles of tape, every donation will all help give the students a great experience. I will list a few things that I know we need for the coming semester and if you have something else that you think would help our program, please let me know. We will need the following supplies:
• Thin tracing paper
• Lead mechanical pencils 0.5 mm
• Masking tape – 2 inch
• Ear plugs
• Dust masks
• Spray glue
• 220 and up sand paper
• Scrap wood for intarsia or wood boxes
• ¼ inch material for intarsia back
• Wood glue
• Patterns, Prints, and instructions for small wood projects
• Guest Woodworkers to help with a project
• ???????

I appreciate your kindness and I look forward to meeting some of you.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Oviatt
