We'll be wrapping up our meeting portion of the whittling by taking our safety exam, continuing to practice whittling techniques on a bar of soap, and learning to properly use a Swiss Army knife to perform some utilitarian tasks like open a letter, open a package, open a can, tighten a screw.  Please only bring your plastic knife that I provided you.  I will supply and maintain control of the one Swiss Army knife.
