Lumbercycle Shop Tour

At long last we were able to get Tom Hamilton of Lumbercycle on a virtual tour of his Encinitas, Ramona and National City facilities. We also learned about his organization’s history, mission and programs. Best of all as woodworkers, we learned of an excellent source of affordable wood which helps further Lumbercycle’s goal of maintaining carbon sequestration.
