February's Meeting

It was nice having the meeting in Kevin's shop. The main topic was supposed to be Darryl discussing and demonstrating more about hand planes but it seems like we all never really got there. A couple new people attended which helped bring new thoughts, ideas and questions that were all discussed and even displayed or demonstrated, as again we were inside a woodworking shop. We talked jigs, tools, wood and techniques which kept the discussions flowing all night long. Thank you to all that attended it was a fun night. 

We still had some "plane" old fun though!

-We broke down the 9th annual Niagara Woodworking Show
-discussed upcoming shows:
       -Hamilton Wood Show February 27-March 1
       -Tools of the Trades on March 29th
       -Wood Shed 25th anniversary June 13th

Tonight's meeting ran long again as everyone was engaged and people were again not afraid to ask for help and in an inviting forum, we all offered our knowledge and ideas. 

So if you are reading this and have attended or wish to attend please know that this club is a an inviting open forum and welcomes all different skill sets and disciplines.
