Central Jersey Woodworkers Association | Comments Off | The Central Jersey Woodworkers Association (CJWA) is a growing group of woodworkers of various skill levels and interests, who meet monthly to trade ideas, share tips, and listen to various speakers.
Next meeting: Wednesday, June 12, 7:00 PM
The Central Jersey Woodworkers Association normally meets monthly on the second Wednesday of the month (except for July and August) from 7:00PM to 10:00PM at the Old Brick Reformed Church on Route 520 in Marlboro NJ.
We meet at the Old Brick Reformed Church, 490 Route 520, Marlboro, NJ, in the Church Parish Hall, located behind the church itself. The church is located on Route 520 approximately one-quarter of a mile east from the Route 520 & Route 79 intersection. New members and guests are always welcome!
From the Garden State Parkway, exit at #109 and proceed West on Route 520/Newman Springs Road into Marlboro (approximately 6 miles). The large Old Brick Church will be on your right, just past the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital (Marlboro Center for Human Development).
From Route 18, take the exit for Route 79 North. Proceed North on Route 79 for approximately 2 miles to the Route 520 / Newman Springs Road intersection (there is a WaWa and an Amoco gas station on the corner). Make a right hand turn at the light onto Route 520 East and go 1/4 mile; the church is on the left.
We always welcome new members to our club.

Friday, April 26, 2013 at 5:07PM The May CJWA meeting will be on Wednesday, May 8, at 7:00 pm. We are very excited to have Jay Rosenblatt come talk to us about the art of lutherie. He will cover the construction of his guitars from start to finish including the tools he uses, jigs and templates used in the construction of his guitars, making the decorative elements, installation of the hardware, and decoration. Jay takes more than 100 hours over several months to complete one of his guitars. Several of his instruments will be on display, and he will also have some woods, tools and templates available for review.
Jay would like to thank his suppliers: Finocchio Guitar works,Luthiers Mercantile, High Mountain Tonewoods, Allied Lutherie, Blues Creek Guitars, Luthiers Suppliers, Hibdon Hardwoods, Tony DiDomenico Guitars, Dale Bartholemew’s Finishing Shop, and Dennis Frye.
This promises to be a fantastic presentation. Hope to see you there.


Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 5:46PM Lie-Nielsen is having a Hand Tool Event at Peters Valley on April 26-27. This is an excellent opportunity to see Lie-Nielsen tools in person, and to get a lot of hands on instruction on how to use hand tools. Lie-Nielsen has been kind enough to donate a Violin Maker’s Plane to CJWA for a raffle for anyone joining the club for the first time this year. For more information on the Hand Tool Event, visit Lie-Nielsen’s website here.

The April meeting will be on Wednesday, April 10, at 7:00 pm. We will have a terrific presentation by Jerry Fishlin on Arts and Crafts projects. He will cover a variety of projects, and the construction and finish of each. Despite the fact that they are all Arts and Crafts projects, the construction techniques used varies from project to project. The making of trademarks of Arts and Crafts style such as pillowed ebony plugs will be discussed as well.
In addition, Bob Emmons will show a work in progress. He is making a coat tree utilizing a turned pedestal with curved shaped legs and slipper feet, and a turned spindle to top it off. He will talk about the design and construction of this project, and hopefully he won’t have glued it up yet so he can show how it all goes together.



Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 10:02PM At the last meeting Kathy DeVito approached the club about tools that her late husband, who was a woodworker, had in his shop. Stuart Moore and Bill Overman were kind enough to look over the tools that she had to sell, and are organizing a sale/auction for the tools.
Among the items for sale are:
Pictures of these tools can be seen here and here.
Bids can be emailed in advance of April’s meeting to Stuart at gandswoodshop@aol.com. Offers for these tools can also be made at the April meeting. The winners will be announced at the April meeting and the money will be collected by either Kathy or Stuart to hand over to her.
