Japanese Woodworking Tools and Techniques

Wednesday March 17, 7:00 pm
Scarboro Community Hall


The March meeting should be very interesting; Robert Gurney will be speaking about Japanese hand tools and wood working methods. Gary (our president) has spent a significant amount of time in Japan. He's found their culture to be very different than ours and to be very refreshing. We're all looking forward to this topic.

Once again we're having the 2 x 4 Contest. The rules are simple: members build something out of a volume of wood equivalent to a 2 x 4 (2 inches by 4 inches by 8 feet). Two species of wood may be used along with a small amount of hardware if required. A panel of judges will study the pieces brought to the meeting and award prizes.

Annual Show & Tell Meeting

The January meeting will be the annual "Show & Tell". This year we would like to add a theme of “antiques" to the event. That is not to say the regular fun stuff is not encouraged.






But if you have some heirloom piece or tool please bring it.
