Upcoming Meetings 2024
2025
Sept. 17—Design artist Roger Knudson, who owns RWK Furniture in Finlayson, MN, came to talk to us. We will be setting up a page on our website that includes Roger’s handouts, photos of his work and a video of his presentation. Stay tuned.
Oct. 15—Jigs
We will be doing tool set up (jigs helpful in the shop). We want folks to bring in their favorite Jigs and discuss its use. We might also provide shop time and so members can make their own jigs. Key jigs we will discuss are the crosscut led for the table saw, the miter sled for the table saw, and Mark Voigt may be demonstrating cutting coves on the table saw.
Nov. 19—Construction
We will review the difference between ¼ sawn timbers and plain sawn timbers. We will discuss when you select one over the other. We also wanted to demonstrate how to take rough timbers into finished boards.
Dec. 17—Christmas gift workshop
