Meetings and Events

The main focus of November’s meeting will be for our members to have an opportunity to buy, sell, or trade any tools or supplies (including wood) that they no longer need. In the past, the tools have generally been related to woodworking, but you’re welcome to bring pretty much anything (please leave the baked goods at home!).

A basic end-grain shooting board is a jig to assist in accurately trimming and squaring the ends of a board. It is very helpful for hand tool users and handy for power tool users as well,

I’ve been asked on many occasions how I go about the process of designing a project, or some aspect of it. Sometimes the question is about inspiration, or functional requirements, or production process, or material choice, or…well, you get the idea.  In many cases the answers to these questions are often interrelated and too long to delve into in polite conversation!

Since some of our members find it difficult to attend meetings on Saturday mornings, we’re holding this month’s meeting on a Friday evening in an effort to accommodate those members.  We’re hoping to minimize family/work-life disruption by selecting a Friday evening, since there’s generally no work or school on Saturday mornings for our members.
