The Central Jersey Woodworkers Association normally meets monthly (except for July and August) on the second Wednesday evening from 7:00PM to 10:00PM at the Old Brick Reformed Church on Route 520 in Marlboro NJ.

Next meeting: Wednesday, June 13, 7:00 PM

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.

Location and Directions

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.

CJWA Finishing Seminar with Glen Huey, June 19

DateWednesday, May 19, 2010 at 8:28PM

CJWA is very pleased and excited to announce that we have the privilege of having Glen Huey in to teach a day long class on finishing. Glen will run through the basics of easy to apply finishes that will enhance any woodworking project, and we plan on having plenty of hands on time to try out and practice the techniques that he will show us. Anyone who has seen pictures of Glen’s work already knows that this is a great opportunity to improve your finishing techniques and results, whether you are using highly figured woods or more traditional woods for your own woodworking projects.

Glen Huey is a Senior Editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine, a long-time professional woodworker, author, DVD host and woodworking teacher. In addition to building projects for the magazine, Glen heads up all of the product testing for Popular Woodworking Magazine. Glen’s latest DVD is “Finishes That Pop with Glen D. Huey”.

The finishing workshop will be on Saturday, June 19, starting at 8:30 AM, at Clover Hill Farms, located on Hospital Rd & Rt 524 (Atlantic Ave) in Wall, NJ. Lunch will be provided. The cost of the workshop will be $25 for CJWA members. Non-members may attend for $45, which includes the prorated cost of a CJWA membership for 2010. Attendees are encouraged to bring two 12” long pieces of planed/sanded/finish-ready 4/4 wood of the species of their choice ready for finishing for the hands on sessions. Brushes and other supplies will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring your own brushes as well, if there is a particular brush that you like to use.

Space for the Glen Huey finishing workshop is very limited, so reservations will be made on a first come, first served basis. To reserve your space, mail a check payable to the Central Jersey Woodworkers Association for the appropriate amount to Doug Poray, the CJWA treasurer at:

Doug Poray
617 Bennetts Mills Road
Jackson, NJ 08527

Please note: If you signed up for the Glen Huey finishing seminar at the last meeting but did not pay for the seminar, you still need to mail a check to Doug to reserve your place. If you wait until the June CJWA meeting to pay for the seminar, you run the risk of having the seminar fill up before then.
