• How about this tip from Nathan Barnes and his twin daughters... They are working on their Girl Scout patches and learning all about woodturning and came across our OCGW.org webpage and found it very helpful. In their explorations they found other websites and they felt that one in particular would be a good addition to our page. So here it is! Thank you Barnes family!
