Past-President and long-time member, Jim Bucknell, will host a presentation showcasing various unique tools and jigs that are favorites in the shops of some of our members.

You may want to be prepared to take notes because the presenters will provide the name of the tool or jig, and information about the price and where to get it, or, if shop-made, how to get plans, etc. This will be a chance to see some handy tools and jigs that you might want to add to your shops. Great ideas to make things easier and solve those woodworking problems that have been troubling you.

Let the Good Times Roll! This year, the picnic will be held at the Mount Vernon Christian School. As usual, the picnic will be held along with the Northwest Washington Woodturners club.

We’ll have our traditional BBQ Picnic Lunch — Burgers, Hot Dogs, and all the trimmings will be supplied, including vegetarian options. Please bring a side dish or dessert to help round out the menu and to help ensure that we all overeat! If you have your own camp chair, be sure to bring it.

Also, be ready to dust off those old tools or extra wood you need to sell in order to make room for new tools, as we will have a TOOL SALE by silent auction. If you plan to sell items at the silent auction, please print and fill out this bid sheet for each item.

Friday, Saturday & Sunday, August 2-4

This year, our booth at the Anacortes Arts Festival will be in a new location, near the intersection of 7th Street and R Ave. This puts us near the Depot Art Gallery which will showcase this year’s juried art by all the best local artists.

Our booth will include a variety of interesting woodworking demonstrations by members of NCWA, Shave Horse demos, Toys for Tots car building for kids, and many items made by members on display and for sale.

Many thanks to members who have already signed up to…
• help set up the club’s booth
• volunteer as a greeter
• demonstrate a woodworking tip or technique with attendees
• display a few personal and/or class projects — or even selling a few!
• take down the booth at the end of the show
…it takes a village.
