November's meeting (on Tuesday the 5th) will be held at The Wadkin Temple, also known as Jack's woodshop. High Priest Jack Forsberg will be demonstrating and explaining traditional joinery on vintage machines, in his overwhelmingly beautiful shop. There will be no Show-and-Tell this meeting as all the time from 7 to 9 PM will be dedicated to this very special event. PLEASE invite friends with any inkling for woodworking. The meeting is open to members, not-yet members, and non-members of the Ottawa Woodworking Association; in other words, everybody is invited!
The Wadkin Temple is where Jack hosts his annual Great Canadian Rust Junkie Fest in July. The address is 6220 Old Richmond Road, Richmond, ON, K0A 2Z0. There is plenty of room to park on the street. If you would like to car-pool, you can park at our regular venue, Bethany Baptist Church at the western intersection of Centrepointe and Baseline, say, around 6:20 PM and leave the church by 6:35. Or you can organize your own ride share with neighbours or folks on your route. While there is no on-site seating, you're welcome to bring a portable chair or two.
A Weekend of Woodworking Goodness. A big thank you to everyone who volunteered and attended the inaugural OWA/Lee Valley Hand Tool Event held on Friday and Saturday last week, August 16-17. We had superb weather on Friday which allowed us to set up, as planned, in the demonstration tent next to Veritas Tools. Presenters included: Jack Forsberg, who showed up with his old-timey, custom made, tool boxes replete with a traditional hand tools; Joe Federer, who demonstrated violin neck and head carving; George Fouriezos, with his box glue ups along with his 3 D printed corner clamping jigs; and Norman Pirollo, who employed a traditional miter jack and Japanese hand saws to create precision tenons.
