September meeting of the Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild
This month’s presentation will be “The Moravian Workbench: From Pile of Parts to Rock-Solid in Minutes” by Blake Allenby.
What if your workbench could be rock-steady for hand planing one minute, and packed away the next — all without losing an ounce of strength? Join member Blake Allenby as he shares the story of building a Moravian workbench using a centuries-old design that is perfect for modern small shops. See how it’s built, learn why it works, and watch it go together in just minutes during a live assembly demo.
Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild May Program and Meeting
“TOP COATS – Selecting and Applying Your Final Finish”
You hopefully agree that it’s important to keep learning in your chosen area of woodworking, and surely that means you also want to learn more about finishes and how to achieve the best results.
The Education Committee admits that the vast array of products can be confusing and overwhelming. We’ll be looking at numerous products, some of which will likely be familiar to you, while others might be new and waiting for you to try them. With your future projects, we hope you will gain confidence with selected finishes and finishing techniques.
We’ll be looking at polyurethanes, lacquer, shellac, varnish, oils, hybrid finishes, and waxes. Due to a lack of time, we will not be covering paint finishes.
