Once again our December meeting features an informal milling about of members and guests.  You do NOT need an invitation to be a guest: Just drop in. The list of activities planned is: Chop a Mortise Challenge (With Prizes Generously Donated by Lee-Valley Tools ). Tenons of 1/4 and 3/8 inch thickness will be provided.

Nibbles, Refreshments, and Decaf Coffee Where again?  In the Basement of the Bethany Baptist Church, South-East corner of the Western intersection of Baseline and Centrepointe (roads meet twice).  And when?  First Tuesday in December (the 4th) 7-9 PM.  Doors should be open up to half an hour early.

At the November meeting, Marty Schlosser told us about his upcoming show in Kingston titled: Artistry in Wood . It comprises a juried and an unjuried selection of wood pieces on display for an entire Saturday, April 6, 2019. Whether you plan to submit your own work, attend the show, or merely learn more about it, you will want to visit the information and registration page for Artistry in Wood .

A meeting or two ago, Brian Greene told us that he was handling sets of woodworking tools that sought new forever homes.  He promised to compile a list along with reasonable prices given their light use and like-new condition.  The list is in the form of a down-loadable Word document .  You may approach Brian about these tools at an OWA meeting or by emailing him at bggreene16@gmail.com.

Once again, Marty Schlosser drove up from Kingston to deliver a mesmerizing presentation of his tour of Joseph Walsh's workshop, installations, and methods.  You may take a look at Mr. Walsh's web site if you need a reminder or want to kick yourself for missing November's meeting.  The Ottawa Woodworkers Association is through and through grateful for Marty's generous sharing in the form of his feature presentations.
