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).

Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event June 25-26 with special event for CJWA members

Lie-Nielsen will be coming to New Jersey June 25-26 to have one of their hand tool events at Frank Klausz’s shop in Pluckemin, NJ. For anyone who hasn’t been to a Lie-Nielsen hand tool event but is at all interested in hand tools, this is an event not to be missed. Besides having a chance to try out the wide variety of Lie-Nielsen tools in person, there are ongoing demonstrations that are sure to improve your skills with hand tools, whether you use Lie-Nielsen tools or not. Demonstrations will be given throughout the event by Fred West from Marcou Planes, Matt Bickford of M.S. Bickford Planes, and Chuck Bender of the Acanthus Workshop, as well as by Frank Klausz himself and members of the Lie-Nielsen staff.

In addition, there will be a special event for CJWA members only on the evening of Thursday, June 24, from 7-9 PM at Frank Klausz’s shop. Deneb Puchalski from Lie-Nielsen will be hosting a private demonstration of basics on handtools and sharpening plus answer any questions that might come up. Lie-Nielsen tools will be on sale that evening as well, and CJWA members will be offered a 10% discount for any purchases made that evening.

For those looking to buy a workbench, Lie-Nielsen also has one bench for sale from their show display. It will be $2,000.00 and can be picked up on Saturday. It is 6 ft long with a tool tray and is 35” tall.

More information on this event and directions can be found at the Lie-Nielsen website.
