Tuesday, May 7th, 7-9 PM

This month our very own Don Duchesne will show us how to model our woodworking creations in SketchUp.  He will also demonstrate a cool plugin that automatically produces a cut list from the model.  If you've been putting off learning how to use SketchUp, then this is a Must Attend.  And then there's the usual gang of activities: Show-And-Tell, tool selling or swapping, and a 50-50 draw.

New members are always welcome; in fact, you can attend a couple of meetings to see what goes on, no charge, while you consider whether you would like to join the OWA.  Meetings are in the basement of the Bethany Baptist Church at the Western intersection of Baseline and Centrepointe, first Tuesday of the month, from 7-9 PM.  If it's wet, bring dry indoor footwear.
