Steve Hoffmann is leading a Shaker Stool workshop for guild members. The intent is to provide a program where new members and long-time members can mix over a course of a few weeks, learn new skills, share experiences and make nice projects to bring home. Read below for a project update.
Stools Project with Steve Hoffman
The project kicked off a several weeks ago at Steve's workshop. Participants are making either or both a “tall” stool and a foot stool based on the original Shaker Stools detailed in Ejner Handberg’s measured drawings and later interpreted by modern woodworkers including Kerry Pierce, John Kassay, Thomas Moser and others.
To the right you will see one pf the stools completed by Ken Zoller.
As in past guild projects Steve has led, a good deal of the preparation was already completed. Participants were given a good platform but variations are capable. Even Steve's wife Grace got in the act by supplying a delicious lunch with positive reviews from the lucky participants.
Wavy Cutting Board Project with Jeff Clunie
A very successful wavy cutting board project has completed. Jeff Clunie and participants wrapped up the project this past week. See the Featured Piece of the Month column for more on the Cutting Board Project.
Last month EMGW completed the annual tools and related materials auction at the Needham Furniture Makers facility in Needham. It was a very entertaining event with a good turnout. Jim Tartaglia did his best impersonation of a Sotheby auctioneer, but with jocularity. Scott Brown assisted Jim preparing the pieces for auction moving the process at a good pace. Treasurer John George was busy tallying the sales and buyers. With numerous buyers in attendance, the guild netted nearly $1500.
Considering getting into woodworking? A team of members of EMGW has written a guidebook targeted for new woodworkers and a refresher for other woodworkers.
The guidebook is complimentary. It can be viewed and downloaded for your reading pleasure. We hope that reading the guidebook will engender interest in woodworking and membership in our guild. Click here for a priceless copy.
