We are in for a treat. Jocelyn Plourde's enthusistic curiousity will be fully engaged when he interviews architect Thierry Montpetit. M. Montpetit is a self-taught woodworker who mixes media into creative -- often beautiful -- original designs. We will follow along as Jocelyn noses through M. Montpetit's home asking him about this, that, and the other thing. When? Tuesday, March 1st at 7:00 PM in a Zoom meeting, invitation by email.

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.
