Unless there is a late breaking development, we, the Ottawa Woodworkers, are going to storm the meeting on the 7th with a flurry of personal accounts. What accounts? What woodworking project did you finish this summer? What did you start? Did you acquire a new skill in the shop? Was there a major or minor shop reorganization? Is there a Shop Tour for us to enjoy? Our own Wayne Richardson moved house recently and is looking at a blank canvas of a shop. Rumour says he will start a series of short reports detailing the shop's development. What's more, you can use your time to declare what you would like to see in these Zoom meetings. It's a good bet they will go on for a bit, so come out and tell the fragments of the Executive what you think would be a useful or interesting presentation. So, from now to the 7th of September, work on your own presentation, whether it's canned or on-the-fly. Don't make us call names.
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.
