Developing a
Community of
Woodworkers
Richard got his start building cabinets by taking woodworking courses at JC in Sacramento. In Mount Vernon, He belonged to the Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association and built a shop to make cabinets for both the shop, and the house. Next he took a job in Olympia building more kitchen cabinets. Subsequently moving to Olympia required more kitchen cabinets for the new house.
For the April meeting, we will have an extended show and tell – all about jigs and templates. If you have a jig or template that you built for a specific project, or for a specific purpose – whether a simple block with a hole in it, or a giant adjustable monstrosity – bring it in! We may have to alter the usual show and tell format if a lot of jigs get brought in. If you can bring in the item you made, or a photo, that would be great. We ask that you RSVP if you can bring an item in, so we know what to expect. Email us at Info@OWWG.org
Tired of your projects slipping? Join Cody as he explores the world of traditional woodworking workbenches and the time-tested methods for holding work securely. He’ll break down classic bench styles like the Roubo, Nicholson, and Scandinavian designs, explaining their strengths and how they accommodate different woodworking techniques. Cody will also dive into the essential work-holding methods, from traditional holdfasts and bench dogs to modern quick-release vises and T-track systems. Whether you’re a hand-tool purist or looking to blend traditional and modern techniques, this discussion will help you choose the right setup for precision and efficiency in your craft!
