At this meeting some of our members talked about the jigs that they use in their work

A member's only dovetail that taught hand cut dovetails with a difference

Well, that was not the meeting that we wanted!! Without contact from our organised presenter we had to make alternative arrangements at short notice.

Allan Waugh got the meeting started by explaining that he and I had been visitors on the final day of the Collaboration workshop and that had inspired him to try something different and to try his hand at embellishment.

The meeting seemed to start as soon as anyone came in through the doors, with members wandering off, asking questions and holding discussions around the different machines!

At 6pm Carolyn called us all together and introduced John Andrijic who welcomed us to South Coogee Joinery.

He said that his father had originally started the business, and they had moved to the current location some 80 years ago, making all sorts of joinery and cabinet work.

Box making was the topic of the October meeting. Martin Burgoyne and Tad Yamamoto spoke about the Japanese Incense Ceremony and the boxes that Martin made for Tad's wife and himself. Warren Murphy then spoke about the Jewellery boxes that he made for his extended family.
