Lee Valley/OWA Hand Tools Event, August 16 & 17, 2024
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 Foresberg, who showed up with his old-timey, custom made, tool boxes replete with a traditional hand tools; Joe Federerer, 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 Pirolo, who employed a traditional miter jack and japanese hand saws to create precision tenons.
