March meeting: Measuring and Marking with Alan Turner

The March CJWA meeting will be at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, Mar. 12. We are very excited to have Alan Turner, founder of the Philadelphia Furniture Workshop, as the main speaker for this meeting. Alan will be talking on “Measuring and Marking”, a skill that any woodworker needs to know well. As anyone who has ever taken a class at the Philadelphia Furniture Workshop can attest to, Alan is a fantastic teacher, and regardless of your level of experience, this is a talk that you will not want to miss.

We will also have updates on our booth at the Woodworking Show in Somerset, and finish our survey of topics that our members would like the club to try to cover in the coming months. We hope to see you there.
