Woodworkers Guild of GA - July Meeting
Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 8:05PM The July meeting was held as normal at Woodcraft on Holcomb Bridge Road. ( Really nice, is it 1/2 mile from my house ).
I always enjoy these meetings. I have learned not to really question the value of the topics since they always turn out to be very interesting.
This month was no different. We always have two presentations. The pre-meeting from about 6:30pm til 7:15, then a break and the main meeting and presentation starts at 7:30. This always runs over so we get finished about 9pm++.
The month Eric Garner, a younger ( less than 50 with NO gray hair ) woodworker, presented a short demonstartion of the Mortise Pal jig. This looked to be a very well constructed jig to create loose tenon joints.
Eric did an excellent job of demonstrating the jig using a 45degree joint and a butt, off set joint as examples.

Our Second speaker was John Ming. A past president and very active guild member. His business http://www.heirloomwoodcrafting.com/ is just him. He does amazing work with his Shop Bot CNC tool as his only assistant.

John is shown here with an enhancement to a large mantle.
He explained that while a shop CNC machine is a very large investment, it pays off with a number of jobs that he simply would not being able to do by hand and be able to sell to the customer.
John is an excellent speaker and always has too much material.
He owns a Shop Bot that is approximately 4 x 8' It is an older model which he purchased used. He highly recommends this approach. His primary reason for selecting Shop Bot was the extremely large user based forum support. It is one of those special communities of people who are really in competition with each other, but end up providing friendly support for all kinds of questions. I think is very common amoung craftsman.
