In this hands-on workshop, you will create your own agar art using live microbes.  Participants will create agar art by painting with microbes and learn how to use traditional biology lab techniques with artistic tools. Before the experience you watch a video giving basic instruction of how to use the tools.

You will be assigned to one of four half-hour “painting” sessions to come and painton February 23; sessions scheduled to limit participant occupancy.

Very useful for finishing dado or sliding dovetail joints. Veritas has a nice model, very easy to sharpen (https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/planes/router/526…) but a used Stanley 71 can probably work as well.

$175.00

A buffer for cars, boats, resin or wood table tops, etc. -Put the terrycloth bonnet on for waxing, and the wool one on for buffing. -Apply wax to the bonnet, not the surface. -Do not push on the buffer as this could burn out the motor. Let it do the work. -Wash the bonnets with soap and water when finished and let dry.
