Special Interest Group – Entry Doors
When: Saturday Nov 1st, 9am-12pm
This is the first event in our new, one-off special interest group. This event will focus on entry door building and will be held in Geoff Burton’s home shop. Several doors will be on display both completed and in construction. Topics will include joinery, design, material selection, basic stile and rail veneering (without special equipment) and glazing. Drop-ins welcome between 9am and noon.
Tour – Small Shops of the West Shore
When: Saturday November 8th, 9-noonish, plus lunch
We will visit Rob Blondeau’s workshop at 9am and then go to Gord Macdougall’s shop around 10:30-11. Rob’s shop is a very well setup and equipped 2 car garage. Past tours have always been very well received. Gord’s shop may be small but it is mighty and well worth the attention. Both shops are very worthwhile for those looking for ideas getting the most out of their space. We will be capping the number of people at 8, so currently 5 spot available, don’t miss out! Please email workshops@viwg.com
Festool Domino Workshop
When: Saturday November 15th
This is a how-to course on the Festool Domino which is available to borrow from the guild tool crib. Tentatively set for Saturday Nov 15 morning. Please email workshops@viwg.com if interested in attending (if date and time are an issue but you are still interested, please email as we can try to accommodate).

Lee Valley Tools Customer Appreciation Event
When: Saturday November 15th and December 6th, 10am – 4pm

| This is a chance for any members to display and sell their goods. No commission will be taken by Lee Valley. All sales are the responsibility of the presenter ( cash, e-transfer, Vimeo or whatever ). The seminar tables will be available for presenters. If the presenters want to bring something to cover the tables, that would be great. |
