"The guild provides a forum for woodworkers of all skill levels to share ideas and learn from the experience of others. The interest in woodworking in this area is exploding," said Michael Simon, President and owner of his own woodworking business in Carrollton. A number of woodcrafters from the central (Columbus) Ohio area have expressed a desire to form a woodworking club and we hope to organize one in late September 1984.

Is there any government bureau administering these standards, and are they strictly enforced? The Whites, New Caney, Tex. There are standards relative to safety, toxic substances, and even the design and construction of toys. Write to The Consumer Products Safety Com-mision, and ask for a copy of their Regulations for Toys and Children's Articles. As a small manufacturer of wooden toys, if the toys are not sold across state lines, you will probably not be breaking any federal laws. However, the general safety guidelines are there to protect children, and certainly do (continued on next page) Projects you'll enjoy from woodworking experts! ^^ Now in paperback!
