8 Dick Harmon helped out Boy Scout Leader Katy Seybold and her troop: I responded to Katy s request for help by first making 50 whistle blanks that were to be finished by the scouts. She then needed help with a pine wood derby track. These pictures show the finished product. The track is approximately 50 feet long with an electronic timer. The derby was held on Wednesday, February 7 th, with nine scouts and their cars. It was great seeing them and watching the results. Dick Harmon Helps the Boy Scouts Outstanding Gift Certificates Mayan Hardwood has informed us that there are some outstanding Gift Certificates going back to So check your wallet, tool box, junk drawer, glove box, anywhere you stash things that you don t want to forget about (?) and see if you have one just waiting to be used..

9 Help Needed Conejo Valley resident looking for help with daybed frame: After searching high and low, I ve come to the conclusion that it might be easier to have someone build a frame for a twin mattress rather than trying to modify an existing wooden daybed frame. I am looking to create a daybed on which the top of a 7 mattress would be at a typical height for sitting, like a couch. You might think this is a no-brainer, but I m sitting on one, the best one I could find, right now that I really need a stepstool to get up on, and I m 5 7. This piece needs to have a contiguous back rest, not bars or widely-spaced slats, although it doesn t have to be a solid piece of wood. There are pros and cons to armrests, but I m inclined to go for it. I m looking for something that will match the basic colors of the wood in the room, which has mediumdark stained cherry tones. As far as dimensions, think of what would frame a twin mattress, with a back that might rise about 24. Armrests to be determined with your advice. Thank you for any suggestions or offers to use your woodworking skills for another good cause. Thank you, Susan Issue #257 Page 9
