Wednesday, August 5th
Starting at 6:30pm The 4 C's with Mark Anastas Woodworking Special Interest Groups Meeting/Demo Held at Station 1 of Belgium Cold Springs Fire Dept, 7920 River Road, Baldwinsville Doors open at 5:30pm |
Some say that your skills grow as you expand your woodworking projects. Mark Anastas, our August demonstrator, would probably agree. Early this year, he took on a large project building quite a large cabinet unit. Mark will walk the group through the process of creating this giant unit from Concept, to Calculation, to Creation, and finally Completion in this talk. We'll hear about how having the right tools and a good friend/mentor to help as needed is crucial to the process. As usual, we will hold a Show & Tell and hope to see a recent project of yours on display!
This session will be available as a hybrid session (both in-person and via Zoom) with the Zoom link sent out on the Monday before the meeting. Questions are generally handled via Zoom's Chat feature.
Have Show & Tell that can't easily be transported? Send photos and descriptions ahead of time so they can be added to our slide show. Send an email with photos and a short description to [email protected] by 3pm on August 5th to be included in the slide show.
Guests are always welcome at no fee. Just sign-in at the front desk and mingle with others. We look forward to seeing everyone, hearing about your woodworking escapades, and seeing your recent projects.
