Stores

Shopping for Woodworkers

This table of mostly-local vendors of wood, tools, and services may be of interest to you.  Many of the businesses and services listed have been used by OWA members and are known to provide quality service, but some have been included only because we found them on other lists.  If you have had a particularly good or particularly bad experience with any vendor, let us know.  We can add suppliers you think members should know about.  If a listing needs to be updated -- e.g. change of address -- please let us know by writing something in the comments or tell George at the next meeting.  You can also email updates to:   ottawa.woodworkers.assoc@gmail.com

The list leaves out two common sources because everyone knows about them.  The first is Lee Valley Tools.  Lee Valley has an international reputation as a go-to vendor for first-class woodworking tools and supplies at fair prices.  If you are unfamiliar with Lee Valley Tools, visit their website or their physical store at the Pinecrest exit of the Queensway.  We also don't mention the big-box chain stores like Home Depot and Réno Dépôt, again, because everyone knows about them.

    Hello,

    I would like to introduce myself and our company. My name is Rui Carvalho and I am the Manager for Canadian Woodworker in Vaughan ON. We carry almost everything you could need for woodworking and we service the Eastern end of Canada, from Ontario to Newfoundland and Labrador. I would appreciate if you can spread the word or let me know how we can partner up to spread the word to all your members. If you have events, perhaps we can be a part. Thanks so much for your time in reading this email and I hope we can be in touch in the near future. Our number here is 905-856-6669 and our website is www.canadianwoodworker.com

    Warm regards,

    Rui

Now Online:  January '24 and December '23 OWA Meeting Videos.

The video of OWA's January 2024 meeting is now online, posted on the 23rd.  It features a presentation by Charles Anderson, Joint VP and Program Director.  Its title is Big Project, Small Shop.   In it, Charles describes how his CNC controlled router aided in the construction of 160 whiskey sampler boxes.  The video from the meeting in December 2023 has been on line for a few weeks now.  It was split into two parts: Part 1 contained Show-and-Tell segments from members of the OWA while Part 2 was an invited presentation of the products and services available from Clarence Creek Wood Select, a hardwood supplier a little East of Ottawa.  Clicky links?  Sure.  Here's one for January's meeting (Big Project, Small Shop) , another for Part 1 of December's meeting (member Show-and-Tell) and a third for Part 2 of December's meeting (Clarence Creek Wood Select) .

Ottawa Woodworkers Association: Phoenix Edition

When we announced a hiatus in our meetings last year at about this time, the Ottawa Tool Library (OTL) reached out to us with a proposal that we somehow partner to keep the OWA going.  Thanks to the OTL we were able to meet in person on a masked small scale, and thus keep our activities going.  For that, the OWA cannot express enough gratitude for the boost that the OTL provided. The OWA members who still hang on, the clingers, strive to resurrect the OWA.  A step in that direction has been to secure a meeting place large enough to house a re-built membership.  Namely, Lee Valley has offered us their seminar room, the place where they hold workshops, tutorials, and the like.  Time slots are limited; the only one available was Satruday afternoons from 2 to 4 PM.  Don created a monthly schedule of meetings for the first Saturdays of each month.  The only exception is the very first meeting coming up on October's second Satuday, the 14th, to skip ...

A Video of November's OWA Meeting

Image
In the November 2023 meeting of the OWA, Kevin Gordon recounts his adventures with a very large cabinet installation in his basement rec room.  If you appreciate precision, you'll be a fan of Mr. Gordon's work.  A theme of the presentation is how to create beautiful work while keeping cost down.  Lots of tips and tricks here, chief among them is the virtue of the 32 mm system employed for European concealed hinges.  Click the Read-More button to gain access to the actual post where you can click through to the video itself .
