New Classes for Shaper Origin

It’s a computer-assisted CNC plunge router. A what? It’s an easy to use CNC that’s really good at joinery, inlays, hardware instalations, and much more. Oh, and both tool and training are available to members.

Back Together Again

As the pandemic ebbs, SDFWA is bringing face-to-face programs back … and our members are loving it!

Green Shoots of Organized Outreach

We organize volunteering well around big things. That said, there are many smaller things where we could make a difference by volunteering our woodworking talent. It’s starting.

Making a Difference

During COVID, kids and their educations are adversely affected. In partnership with DEEP we have an opportunity to help in the low-income Diamond Neighborhoods of San Diego.

Spotlight: Julia Cornuelle

Julia gave us her talent to teach Sketchup, worked diligently to deliver an excellent class and turned her materials into a soon-to-be-published book.

Woodworkers Doing Good

Building Little Free Libraries throughout San Diego in collaboration with the SD Central Library? Why not? The SDFWA has a long history of doing community service.

WOOD: Best of Show

Werner pursued a passion to bring to life this feat of engineering and woodworking, a finely crafted table with multiple personalities. Amazing!

Let’s Feature Your Projects!

Amazing woodworking projects are exhibited at Design in Wood. However the vast majority of SDFWA members projects are never seen. Let’s fix that! Let’s give visibility to your woodworking projects.

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.
