A woodworking community of learning and craftsmanship.

SDFWA Members can sign-up online below.
Note – you must use the new membership ID number from your 2024 SDFWA membership card. Previous numbers will NOT work.

The number is below the bar code.

Sign-up offline by contacting Doug Murphy in person at any General Meeting
by email at dw-murphy@cox.net , or phone 619-994-0869.

Volunteers must sign up before May 11th to have their parking pass and entry tickets mailed to them.

After that date, you will need to pick up tickets at the Will Call office when you come to the Fair. This office is located at the main entrance – O'Brien Gate – to the far left (south) as you face the entrance. Go directly to this office, then enter by the exhibitor's gate, bypassing any long lines at the public gate. Your tickets will be filed under Design in Wood and your last name.

Also – Shop Members will get one free Shop slot for each afternoon (4-7pm) or evening(7-10pm) floor shift you work. What a deal!

The 2023 Fair runs from June 7th through July 4th. Scroll up and down to see the whole schedule.

Click on a white or grey square to select that time slot… then click the Assign Time button at the bottom of the schedule

Craftsman Referral Terms

BACKGROUND
The San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association (SDFWA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to the education, promotion, and execution of the principles of fine woodworking.
The SDFWA frequently receives requests from people seeking the service of a woodworker. Therefore, although custom woodworking for hire is not the purpose of our organization, we offer this referral service to the public so that they might connect with a woodworker.

SCOPE
SDFWA does not screen or warrant the skills or work of any craftsman. The public should use their own discretion and due diligence before hiring any craftsman, from any source, including this one.
The sole role of SDFWA in this referral service is limited to providing our member woodworkers with your completed form. It is up to each craftsman to initiate a contact with the requester.

PROCEDURE
After a requester submits a project, the form will be emailed to our list of participating craftsmen. If a craftsman is interested in the project, they will contact the client directly, and a two-way conversation can begin.

As the craftsmen themselves choose which projects to respond to, this means that it is probable that some project requests will receive no response. If you do not receive a response in a reasonable time, please submit your request again, using the provided referral form.
Note that contacting SDFWA directly will not achieve the desired results.

DISCLAIMER
By agreeing to these Terms, and by continuing to submit this Referral Form, and by utilizing one or more of the services of any of these craftsmen, you are agreeing to contract exclusively with that individual craftsman and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the SDFWA Organization, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or suits including attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the performance of this agreement, and any and all failures, damages, or otherwise negative outcomes caused directly or indirectly by the craftsmen you employ to do any project initiated by this Form. This does not preclude you from pursuing legal remedies from the individual craftsman that you employ. But any remedy you pursue is restricted to that individual craftsman, and does not include the SDFWA organization or any of its volunteer members.
