Meetings and Events

Hello Fellow WPW Members,

As noted in our April 22 email, we are going to resume having physical meetings this month, with our first being held on Saturday, May 14, at 10:00 am. The doors will be open at 9:15 AM for some long-awaited social time, and coffee and donuts will be served.

Our monthly meeting has been postponed until we get to warmer weather where we can more easily/safely hold physical meetings.  Any meetings that are postponed will be made up during the summer months of June, July, or August.  For further details, please see the “President’s Message: Meetings Postponed For Next Two Months,”

Woodworking mistakes are an inevitable part of our craft — so much so that, dare I say, all of us are all guilty of pointing them out to our fellow woodworkers moments after they see the piece (come on, you know that you do this)!  Sometimes these mistakes are so significant that a new piece of wood is needed or the entire project would need to be scrapped.

This will be a virtual-only meeting using the WebEx platform.

One of the oldest axioms in woodworking is that glue doesn’t really adhere well to end grain, implying that glue joints where one or both surfaces are end grain are, at best, inferior.  I’ve “known” this my entire woodworking life and have been an active proponent/teacher of avoiding this condition when designing or executing woodworking projects.

Hello Fellow Woodworkers,

Our annual Show and Tell meeting is one of the more popular topics that we have for meetings. The meeting will be a hybrid meeting with the option to present a project in person at The Backchannel School of Woodworking or virtually via Cisco WebEx.
