The above pictures show several shops that teach wood working. These shops all have good points in them. These are somewhat like we envision our new building to look like but with more comfortable stools.

We have made an opening date for the Club as April 30 2008. Our members will be allowed to use the machines and tools available to make projects in our building. Some of our members will be highly skilled in many facets of wood working and will be friendly enough to help out beginning wood workers. We plan on inviting some well known guest wood workers to our shop to provide helpful workshops that will guide our members and create a learning experience. The Club has 2 local wood working associations already scheduled to hold their meetings on Saturday mornings at the Club.

We want to teach woodworking to anyone interested in learning. We will be offering classes in such areas as shaker box making, bowl turing, hollow vessel turning, veneer work, furniture making, and many others. We plan on allowing the public to come in and use the center using a guest pass for a day and allow members to come anyday the Club is open for a fee of $100 a month.

Above is our Joos Hot Press. It is great for making 49x97 inch panels and doors. It can handle making paper backed veneer in just 4 minutes. This machine has already been purchased and will be part of our equipment package at the center. We have glue spreaders and tape up devices and a stitcher for putting veneers together as well as a nice veneer saw.(pictured below)

We have already purchased this Quality Band Saw (left)and have over 30 blades that we use and ship out to be sharpened when dull. It can handle a 21 ft log and 36 inch diameter at the gate for width. Fully hydraulic and we plan on cutting material and drying it..
