Woodworking

The Woodworking Special Interest Group (legally a Committee) of the Woodworkers of Central New York, Inc. (formerly the Sawdust & Woodchips Woodworking Association) generally meets on the First (1st) Wednesday of the month in the Community Room at Station One of the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Department, 7920 River Road, Baldwinsville, NY.  Meetings start at 6:30pm.  With Covid-19, we are holding our meetings via Zoom.

This SIG provides educational programs, workshops, and special events that span all genres of woodworking.   Topics for monthly programs, talks, or demonstrations cover a broad range of topics of interest to the membership.  The Advisory Team is always looking to its membership for suggestions for programs and speakers.  Contact Charlie LaPrease to let him know your thoughts!
