A woodworking community of learning and craftsmanship.

Back Together Again

We're getting back together again and it's been a blast!

Our first post-pandemic face-to-face event happened at the Shop. We restarted the last-Saturday “Eye Opener,” this time featuring a SawStop demo. Over 60 people showed up and it was abuzz! A week later the Digital Tools community met for a Shop Tour at AleSmith Brewery and while fewer than 15 were expected, 40-45 showed up. There was joy in the air! We're quickly bringing our pre-COVID programs back. In-person SIGs, classes, Shop Tours and more are just around the corner.

The biggest surprise though is probably the speed at which General Meetings are returning. Our Mother of Confidence Church has unexpectedly re-opened their doors to us. Wonderful! The problem is that our speaker, Paul Schurch, is set to present from Hawaii via Zoom. What to do?! The answer from leadership was obvious. Let's have a woodworking celebration!

Prior to the General Meeting's featured presentation we're going to hold a woodworking exhibit of your COVID-period projects. Everyone is encouraged to bring in their favorite projects from when they were locked indoors. We'll add food and drink to the mix, perhaps a little music in the background, and revel in the creations of our fellow members. There will be a competition. There will be prizes! If you'd like to exhibit then plan now to arrive at 5:30 to set up your table. The doors will open and the exhibit will begin at 6:00 PM on July 28.

One last word: pride.

For those who have followed the efforts of our community service teams there's wonderful news. They've started to deliver the results of their efforts. Desks were delivered to O'Farrell School; Little Free Libraries were completed for three elementary East San Diego schools. We should all take pride in the good work we're doing for the community with our woodworking skills.

Be sure to check out their stories and start planning to GET INVOLVED!

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.
