Upcoming Shop Chats

The 2013 Shop Chat Schedule is beginning to take shape. Shop chats are informal meetings at members shops to learn and commune. Topics may include specific projects the host is working on as well as other topics of interest.

If you have any questions or would like to host a shop chat please contact Tom Phillips at (541) 482-4829.
  1. March 30, 2013 - Gabriel Romero will be hosting members at his shop in Gold Hill. One topic will be the use of a portable saw mill for creating lumber. This shop chat will be from 10:00 to noonish. More details and directions will be posted later.
  2. May 18, 2013 - Lewis Meyer will be hosting at his "off the grid" shop in Montaque, CA. Lewis produces a wide range of work, from contemporary furniture to highly crafted wagons.
