October 15 Meeting Southern Alberta Woodworker's Society

SAWS October 15, 2014 meeting will be held at the Lee Valley store 7261 - 11 Street SE at 7:00 PM.  As this is after normal store hours you will need to knock on the front door to gain entry.



The guest speaker will be Vic Tesolin who is a Technical Advisor with Lee Valley Tools as well as a designer and craftsmen.




Vic will speak on the method of work he uses in his shop. Although he has an affinity for hand tools, he will discuss the value of big machines to hobbyists, the fundamental philosophies of hand tool woodworking, and hand tool use.
