Welcome to the Western Pennsylvania Woodworker's Home Page
Meeting Announcement
Our May speaker will be WPW-member Sam Digirolamo, with a small side presentation by Bill James. Sam’s program will be on two router-table-based jigs that he uses to accurately cut mortises and tenons. Many of our program speakers cite the value of the mortise & tenon joint, and given the number of questions from the membership about easy ways to execute this joint, it seems that Sam’s program should be extremely useful to many of our members. Sam will also take a few minutes to demonstrate his technique to put an edge on a scraper. Additionally, Bill will be demonstrating another router-based method to cut mortises.Newsletter Posted
