The VWA hosts meetings during the year on a wide variety of topics of interest to woodworkers. These might be workshop visits, product demonstrations, talks by makers or visits to timber manufacturing facilities (eg a veneer pressing plant).
Our next members meeting in August will be a site visit to The Vintage Tool Shop in Northcote to visit the wonderful Mike Subritzky.
When: Saturday 31st August 4pm – 6pm
Where: Northcote, VIC, 3070
What: Mike will give us a tour of his shop showing his Heritage Saw making and tool restoration process.There will then be time for group Q&A. Afterwards, for those so wildly inclined, we will head next door to Northside wines for a few self-funded drinks and nibbles.
Given the size of Mike’s shop attendance will be limited to 13 spots.
If you are interested in attending, please email Secretary@vwa.org.au with:
Spots will close by 24th August and it’s first come first served so get in quick with your confirmations!
