Our August BAWA meeting at the Foster City Recreation Center will be a practical hands-on clinic using hand planes, spoke shaves and cabinet scrapers. If you want to develop and hone your skills with these essential hand woodworking tools, then this is a must attend meeting. Our instructors will have Workmate benches set up with boards for you to cut and plane. Lose your woodworking inhibitions by letting those wood shavings fly. Use block planes, smoothing planes, bench planes, jack planes, and jointers. You may be surprised to able to try side rabbet planes, chisel planes, shoulder planes and edge planes.

Want to try a router plane? Mystified by cabinet scrapers and spoke shaves?

Our august instructing team includes: Don Naples, Neal White, Arnold Champagne, Claude Godcharles, Harold Patterson, John Blackmore and Patrick Bana.

Come to learn, to use and to enjoy.
