Wooden rings, spoons, and flower pots are just some of the beginner items you can make with the Maker Hub’s TeknaTool Wood Lathe! A wood lathe is a machine very similar to the metal lathe in the machine shop.

To start, two free-spinning center points on each side of a wood piece clamp the wood between them and hold it centered. It operates by spinning a piece of wood stock at a variable speed allowing the operator to create round objects.

Unlike the metal lathe, there is not a cutter secured to the machine that is moved into place to cut. On the wood lathe, an operator will instead use long handled chisels to carve away the wood. There are a wide variety of projects that can be done on the wood lathe, some easier than others, and all requiring a different need for skills and tools.

For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki Page, and check out this video to see how it works.

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.

The Old Testament constitutes the majority of the Christian Bible and provides much of the language of Christian faith. However, many churches tend to neglect this crucial part of Scripture. What should be done about it?

Dr. Brent Strawn will address the very question in a lecture, “The Old Testament is Dying and What You Can (and Should) Do About It,” at 6:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday) in Canyon Commons. Strawn is professor of Old Testament at Duke Divinity School and holds a secondary appointment at the Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina.

Strawn is author of the book The Old Testament is Dying: A Diagnosis and Recommended Treatment, in which he details a number of ways the Old Testament is showing signs of decay, demise and imminent death in the church. He criticizes current misunderstandings that contribute to its neglect and offers ways to revitalize its use in the church. His words are a reminder of the Old Testament’s important role in Christian faith and practice.

The university’s Department of Mathematics is hosting the annual Pacific Northwest Section Meeting of the Mathematical Association of America in mid-March.

As part of the event, we invite everyone to the opening lecture, “Geometry of the Earth and Universe with The Simpsons and Futurama,” by Dr. Sarah Greenwald, professor of mathematics at Appalachian State University, at 8 p.m. this Friday, March 17, in Canyon Commons. The event is free and geared toward students and the public.

Did you know that the animated shows The Simpsons and Futurama contain hundreds of humorous mathematical and scientific references? A few of these references connect to the geometry of spaces, and we’ll use them to explore some historical and current theories relating to the earth and universe during an interactive talk.

Popular culture can reveal, reflect and even shape how society views mathematics, and with careful consideration of the benefits and challenges, these programs can be an ideal source of fun ways to introduce important concepts and to reduce math anxiety (see SimpsonsMath.com).

For the month of March we are focusing our trauma-informed teaching training on how trauma can affect interpersonal relationships and a person’s sense of self. It is important for us to recognize the impact trauma has on relationships with others. Often feelings of isolation can occur, in addition to social withdrawal.

Access the schedule and training materials here, and join Erin Johnson and Michelle Deeg-Davis this Friday, March 17, at 3 p.m. The March discussion session will be held online, via Zoom, at this link.
