Sin City Woodworkers

Follow the trail of sawdust to our next 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 project ideas to information about local suppliers and much more.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 18 at 7:00, and our featured speaker will be John Myers, of Nevada Carbide & Cutter, Inc., the best blade sharpener (and much more!) here in Las Vegas. John has been sharpening since he was about 15 years old, and he hasn't found a tool in a very long time that could stump him. We’ve been trying to get him to talk to our group for a while, but conflicting schedules haven’t made that possible… luckily, we have finally scheduled him to speak this month!

John and his team offer Las Vegas some of the best sharpening services available, including sawblades, router bits, planer and jointer knives, scissors… but also offer tool repair AT YOUR SHOP! Have a bandsaw that won’t track right? A tablesaw that you just can’t adjust properly? A planer on the blink? John and his team will come to your shop and get your tools back in tip top running condition. Nevada Carbide is an authorized service center for Delta, General International, Hitachi, JET, Powermatic and more.

Another little known service that’s terrific to have in town are custom made bandsaw blades… need an odd size? He can weld some up for you in no time! (In a pinch, I’ve had same day service!)

John’s shop also carries a variety of bits, blades, and tool accessories for your shop - seriously, if you have a woodshop in town, you need to check out his selection. Frankly… more people ask me about local sharpening services than just about any other woodworking topic (other than - where do I buy wood?)… so write down your questions and join us for this informative meeting!

As always - we’ll be having a show and tell for members to bring in some of their current work, so if you’ve made something cool in the last month, bring it along to share with the groups.

This meeting will be held at Studio: Wood It Is!, 2267 West Gowan, unit 106 in North Las Vegas. As always, the public is welcome to attend the meeting, so members - please feel free to bring a guest along. But remember that 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 702-631-1870.
