The program topic will be box making and will be presented by Don Bristow in his shop at 4101 Joslyn Court, Columbia. Don is a premier box maker and you can see examples of his work at Bluestem on Ninth Street in downtown Columbia. Please note the change in our meeting place for this event. Hope to see many of you there.

Live Demonstrations
At our monthly meetings, we see live sessions on particular techniques and projects, delivered by an experienced member. On occasion we invite a nationally known woodworker to provide the demos.
Show-N-Tell
Members are encouraged to bring their latest projects to the monthly meetings and describe what they’ve been working on. Sometimes this is to get help from the group on a problem; many times it provides inspiration and oohs and aahs.
Hands-On Workshops
Scheduled throughout the year include hands-on workshops held at various locations, usually the workshop of a club member.
Shop Talk
Our in-person meetings always include helpful discussion from all experience levels. This could include topics like joinery, tools and techniques, fuming, bending, safety, shop operations and various projects.
