SethersTW Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi all, I'm just getting into woodworking. My dad passed away Feb. 23rd, 2015. He was, though he would never admit it, a talented woodworker (not to mention being a jack of all trades....there didn't seem to be anything he couldn't figure out if he decided to "get the book out" and give it a try. I started getting into woodworking ~a year before he passed which led to me creating...oh about nothing. Since then I've been working on renewing my interest and to actually accomplish something...been doing a lot of arm chair and vicarious woodworking through youtube and etc. but I'm also the father of 2 (one 2.5 years and one 8 months today) so shop time is very limited. Anyways I'm interested in finding a local club or even just a kindred spirit in my area. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Welcome, I hope that your armchair woodworking leads to actual wood working.

knotheads Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 It's a bit of a hike for you, but there's a club in Syracuse. Check out Sawdust and Woodchips Woodworking Association. I'm not a member, but have been to a couple of the meetings. They're really friendly people and meet once a month. The only thing that keeps me from joining is my nighttime job.
