General Meeting and Router Joinery Presentation

Our featured speaker will be Owain Harris [https://harriscabinetmaker.com/] custom cabinet and furniture maker.  Many woodworkers are intimidated by the process of setting up machines to cut joinery. Owain will demonstrate some simple jigs, fixtures and techniques to cut precise joints using a plunge router and router table. Demos will include, mortice and tenons, housed stub tenons, sliding dovetails and more.

His work has been featured in many publications such as Fine Woodworking and NH Home, and has received multiple awards, most recently in the Furniture category of the Veneer Tech Craftsman Challenge.
