Sin City Woodworkers October meeting

Sin City Woodworkers, a Vegas valley social and networking group committed to serious (and not so serious!) woodworking discussions, meet on the third Wednesday of each month to share everything from techniques and ideas to information about local suppliers and much more. They meet at Studio: Wood It Is!, 2267 West Gowan, unit 106 in North Las Vegas. The next meeting is scheduled for October 20, at 7:00 PM.

We're changing things up a little bit at this meeting - no demos or hands-on woodworking at this get-together. Instead, we'll be discussing the business of running a a woodshop. How do you price your work? Do you use an estimating program? Where do you buy materials and equipment? How do you market your work? Have a website? Sell on Etsy? If you are thinking about starting a woodworking business, this round table discussion will probably answer a lot of your questions. If you own your own shop, we hope you'll share some tips that work for you.

The public is welcome to attend the meeting, but there are a limited number of chairs in the woodshop. Attendees might want to bring a folding chair if they wish to sit during the meeting. If you have questions or need directions, call the studio at 631-1870.
