While at the IWF (International Woodworking Fair) Show in Atlanta earlier this year, I had the good fortune to speak with Bob Behnke from Franklin International (the maker of Titebond adhesives) about the possibility of doing a presentation for the WPW on “everything adhesives/gluing,” at least according to Franklin.

October Surprise: Trick’d or Treat’d
It’s time to head out to the Little Shop of Horrors

Meeting

One of the best parts of woodworking is the ingenuity we use to get the job done safely and accurately. For our March meeting, we are asking members to bring in a jig or fixture—preferably shop-made—that helps you in some aspect of your craft.
