Announcements: New Meeting Location

 

The Evergreen Woodworkers Guild meeting has moved! Beginning with the February meeting, we will be meeting next door to the Edgewood Grange at the Edgewood Community Church. We will be in the large building behind the main church. The church was selected because it is larger, has better parking, accessibility to restrooms, and the rent is reasonable.

 

We may have some ‘moving pains’ as we attempt to set up equipment and seats in our new digs so please bear with us. We are not positive that we can get in earlier than 6:30 pm so that may also be a factor. Your understanding and patience is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

EWWG Officers and Committee members

>Subject: Guild of Oregon Woodworkers Seminar

 

 Dear Ken,

 

 I would first like to introduce myself. I am Len Walko from the Guild

 of Oregon Woodworkers. I am working on the education committee for Roger

Tuck, as a special projects coordinator for professional seminars.

 

 On May 6th and 7th we are having a seminar on building fine dining room

 chairs. The speaker, Don DeDobbeleer, is a professional woodworker from

 N.California. He was the winner of "Best in Show" at the Best of the

 Northwest Art and Craft fair at the convention center in Portland in 2004.

 There were over 40 professional woodworkers in the competition.

 

Last year he did a seminar for our guild and the Siskiyou guild on his

award winning demilune table.

 

Our purpose in contacting you is to inform your members about the

upcoming event. Complete information is available at

www.guildoforegonwoodworkers.com   including photos and a course description. There is additional information in our Feb and Mar newsletters on our website.

 

I met your members at the Tacoma Dome show last year, and thought this

seminar might be of interest to some of your members. Your guild member

cost would be the same as our member cost.

 

Thanks!!!!   Len Walko

Hi,

I have a dollhouse which was started about 20 yrs. ago. I now admit defeat and would be glad to pay someone to make the main construction of it and then I will decorate.  This is quite a large, 3 story dollhouse.

 

The fellow who cut out the pieces apparently did not do the best job of cutting it out according to a cabinetmaker who looked at what I have.  Therefore the plywood may need to be re-cut.

 

If anyone is interested, please call Paula at (253)848-9512.

Thanks much.

MENTORING

 

According to Webster‘s a mentor is a trusted counselor or guide, a tutor, or coach. As applied to our guild a mentor is someone who can help with a woodworking problem you may be having or help you learn a new skill. Our guild is very fortunate to have a number of mentors who are experts in a particular skill but most are just like you and I,  general woodworkers, more skilled in some areas then in others.

 

Prior to my joining the Evergreen Woodworkers I learned most of what I knew about woodworking through trial and error. Lots of error, which I can assure you, is not the preferred way to learn. We have several qualified mentors ready to help members learn new skills. Visit the EWWG web site and contact the mentor in your area with the skills you are interested in by simply calling or clicking on his or her name and email for an appointment.
