September 10 Meeting

We are back again next Wednesday, to start the fall meeting schedule.

First off is the steadfast Marc Gaernter, who will show off shop Jigs that can both save time and make processes repeatable and accurate. Most are things he has figured out over a long time while working on various projects.

Our second presenter will be Rob Hess. The topic will be, His current Guitar project- Design and Planning process, Neck Construction and Side Laminating.

June 11th Meeting

 The June meeting will be our traditional members exhibition. This is a great way to see what your fellow club members have  been working on. It has been a success , since almost everyone that attends brings a project to share. It can be anything made of wood from a simple project to more complicated or even a work in progress.

May 14 Meeting

Our next meeting on May 14 at 7:00PM will feature two builds from our members. Marc Gaertner built this tall chest for his wife; an exercise in side hung drawers out of tiger maple with a cherry framework. Sondra Flite will showcase her carving talents in her version of a Roubo inspired bookstand, complete with the handcrafted knuckle joint! Members and Guests are welcome!

April 9th Meeting

Long time club member Steve Altman will be our feature presenter. Steve will talk about his journey in WW from starting in a professional cabinet shop to now building high end unique beautiful boxes.  Steve is always an entertaining speaker, so this will be a presentation not to miss.

To see some of Steve’s work go to  www.myworkshop.com

And long time member Marc Gaertner will be following Steve’s talk, showing some jigs and fixtures that he uses often and find very useful.  The picture below is a router base that’s perfect for flushing up solid edging  around a veneer panel.  He also has a website that shows past projects.  www.marcgaertner.com

March 12, 2025 Meeting

We will feature two builds.  Professional Craftsman and CJWA Member John Tomaino will highlight a Wall Unit he built for a customer to house media and memorabilia, adding a nice touch of character to an otherwise large and empty wall.

Member Bob Emmons will share his latest build, a custom sideboard design that will find a home in his family room.  Made from quarter sawn sycamore, snakewood, soon to be ebonized walnut, ebony, and mother of pearl, this piece has has taken the better part of a year and has brought many new woodworking challenges and techniques into his craft.
