Free Lumber Pick-Up at Keith Bryan’s Shop
Great news! In an effort to get the bird house kits built before the last minute, the lumber is available now.
Limited to the first 50 members who pick up their boards.
Bryant Thibodeau and his wife Sarah personally donated the wood c/o Holmes Lumber Co. so it is free to us.
Whether you build the kits as an exercise in woodworking or to add to your credits for club membership participation, you will not have to purchase the wood on your own nickel, if you are one of the lucky 50 who pick theirs up at my shop. As stated, it is available NOW.
Keith is in or around his shop almost everyday, so go by any time. Good idea to call first just to be sure (225-715-8369). We will keep track of who has picked up so be sure to let us know if you are picking up for other(s). The boards are 1”x8”x8’. Two kits can be made from each board.
Get ready to make some sawdust!

Organization: West Baton Rouge Museum,
Event: Blast From the Past Summer Camp 2019,
Dates: Jun. 20 & 27, 2019,
Time: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM,
Location: 845 N Jefferson Ave., Port Allen, LA 70767,
Signed-Up Participants: Lee Owens, Keith Bryan, Wayne Matherne, Brian Fitzgerald
Planned Activity:
We will be building pine wood derby cars with the campers. This sorta fits into the theme of the camp, “From first flight to the lunar landing.” Areodynamics, motion, building, engineering, etc., take your pick. I think they will be racing them on Friday if they can get a track.
Keith and I have cut the wedge shaped blocks for the body. The museum will have the wheels and axles. It is a simple matter for them to nail in the axles with the wheels. We will have about 30 minutes with each group, so there will be time for sanding shaping the block, adding weights to get the 5 oz max and “decoration.”
Tools to Bring:
If you have any of the following, please bring.
- Hot glue gun
- Hammer (light weight is fine)
- Sanding blocks
- Small block plane
- Scale that can read 5 oz pretty close
Personnel Schedule:
For June 20th, I have
- Lee Owens
- Keith Bryan
- Wayne Matherne
For June 27th, I have
- Lee Owens
- Keith Bryan
- Wayne Matherne
- Brian Fitzgerald
Other club members are always welcome to join. Please feel free to just show up
