Please save the date - November 2nd - for our Fall Tidewater Chapter meeting at the Newbold-White House in Hertford, NC. In addition to the program, which is under development, we'll get a tour of the house and Ben Hobbs will be there to offer additional commentary. Besides, we're planning barbecue (CAPT Bob's) for lunch! Note that the program will have room for a discussion of your show-and-tell items as well as items planned for the coming year. Should be a fun day.

Other notes:
  • If you'd like to do a presentation at our fall meeting, let me know soon so we can work out the details.
  • I'll be conducting a carving tool sharpening/honing workshop at the Virginia Beach Woodcraft store on August 24th (9 am to 2 pm), and the Richmond Woodcraft store on August 31st as a SAPFM outreach effort. Come visit and bring your problem tools. No charge.
  • Ray Journigan, who teaches at the Virginia Beach Woodcraft store, is planning a series of handtool and carving classes for woodworkers that will bring them up to the level of fine furniture maker. If you're interested in participating in these classes, contact Ray at mebeacarver@msn.com. Also, check out his instagram page for lots of good information and inspiration.
 

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
