Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 3:54PM [UPDATE] The family is having another day of tool selling this Saturday, May 15.
A family contacted us about a tool sale that they are having this weekend. The father has passed away, and there are a lot of woodworking machinery and tools that the family is looking to sell.
Here’s the description as provided by the family. Pictures of the tools can be found in this photo gallery on our website. For questions, please contact Darlene Feldman at 732-500-5331.

My Father was a tremendous collector of tools. We have a basement full of them to prove it! Dad spent 35 years working at Bell Telephone Laboratories/AT&T/Lucent Technologies as a Scientist with many Patents to his name. Woodworking was one of his hobbies. We enjoyed as a family what he created with his woodwrking skills but have finally convinced Mom it is time to depart with Dad’s basement full of what he considered treasures….MACHINES, HANDTOOLS< WOOD< NAILS IN EVERY SIZE, you name it …he owned it.
This Saturday, May 8th, at 19 Williamsburg South, Colts Neck, NJ at 10 AM we will have a private showing to Central Jersey Woodworkers. In addition to the machinery, we have boxes filled with tools, and a very large pile of wood for sale.
Monday, May 3, 2010 at 8:02AM The May CJWA meeting will be at 7 PM on Wednesday, May 12, and will be an open mike night. This is an opportunity for CJWA members to give short presentations on projects they have been working on, woodworking tips and tricks, or anything else that may come to mind.
Also, don’t forget about our 8 board feet of wood contest. At the June meeting, we will have our yearly competition of CJWA member-made projects using up to 8 board feet of lumber. A copy of the contest rules can be downloaded here.
Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 11:08PM A couple of times a year, CJWA sells birdhouse kits to help raise money for the club. Of course, to do this, we need birdhouse kits. CJWA members will be gathering at John Steinmetz’s house (61 O’Rourke Drive, Robbinsville) on Saturday, May 15, at 9:00 AM to help make birdhouse and bird feeder kits. All the project wood, tools, and supplies will be provided. All you have to bring is yourself. Hope to see you there!
