Next Meeting
Join us for our upcoming monthly meeting on 28th October at Sawdust Studios. Program to be announced.
Holiday Toy Drive
Our members cut and shape toy car bodies in a variety of styles of their own design or from example drawings available on the club’s website. The club provides wooden wheels and axel pegs and members gather prior to Christmas to assemble the cars. Toy cars are given to a number of local and international agencies that serve deserving children. Hundreds of toys are donated each year. “Anything looks like a car if you put wheels on it”
What We Do
Regular club meetings, featuring a demonstration, show-n-tell, attendance raffles and shop talk are held on the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 pm.

Live Demonstrations
At our monthly meetings, we see live sessions on particular techniques and projects, delivered by an experienced member. On occasion we invite a nationally known woodworker to provide the demos.
Show-N-Tell
Members are encouraged to bring their latest projects to the monthly meetings and describe what they’ve been working on. Sometimes this is to get help from the group on a problem; many times it provides inspiration and oohs and aahs.
Hands-On Workshops
Scheduled throughout the year include hands-on workshops held at various locations, usually the workshop of a club member.
Shop Talk
Our in-person meetings always include helpful discussion from all experience levels. This could include topics like joinery, tools and techniques, fuming, bending, safety, shop operations and various projects.
