Welcome
Welcome to the Western NC Woodworkers Association Web site! We are a group of area woodworkers who enjoy getting together once each month to share our knowledge of woodworking tools, techniques and project experiences.
Hi everyone!
Our next meeting will be at Mountain Sawyers in Fletcher at 9:30 AM on Saturday, July 10th. Wes Keull of Mountain Sawyers will demonstrate their new molding machine, including how they prepare and cut their own profile knives. If you attended the last meeting you saw the machine sitting there and now you will have the chance to see how the knives are prepared for a particular molding profile, lumber stock is prepared and actually run to produce finished products. All members and guests must bring ear protection since the machine will be shown in operation and it requires safe hearing protection.
As time allows, we will focus the Show 'N Tell session towards your favorite jig or jigs. So if you have a jig you want to show and talk about, please bring it along. If it is too large, or you can't bring it for any reason, remember to take pictures and bring them along on a USB memory stick. We can show them to all on our new projector.
Remember that we will serve hot coffee, sodas and cookies as usual and that guests are always welcome to attend a meeting to find out about the group.
Last meeting we passed out new 2010 membership cards that provide members with a 10% discount off selected items at both Asheville Hardware and Klingspor's Woodworking Shop for members in good standing. If you didn't get yours, remember to pick it up and put it in your wallet. We will outline all of the discounts that come with your WNCWA membership to clarify the benefits for everyone.
We ask that everyone bring a folding chair for seating in this large open shop environment. A map to Mountain Sawyers can be found under Events > Maps.
We look forward to seeing you on the 10th. Please contact me after July 4th if you have questions about the WNCWA or this forthcoming meeting.
