It's time for our annual Swap Meet!

Sin City Woodworkers, a Vegas valley social and networking group committed to serious (and not so serious!) woodworking discussions, usually meets on the third Wednesday of each month. There won’t be a regular meeting this month, but we will be holding an outdoor swap meet on Sunday, November 12.  (Fingers crossed for good weather!)

We’ll get started at 10:00 AM and stay until the last deal is done!

This will be your chance to buy - sell - or - barter tools with like-minded woodworkers, so clean out your woodshop and join us!

This early announcement will give you time to grab all the extra tools and gear that you'd like to sell or trade.  Start your pile!

Everyone is welcome to bring a table or cart to our next meeting and set up a booth in our parking lot. The parking lot is mostly empty on Sunday mornings, so everyone will have a chance to spread out and sell their wares. 

Some of the goodies up for grabs include many hand tools, small power tools like routers, drills, drivers, nail guns, and MUCH more.  There will also be MUCH wood for sale - including live edge slabs, exotics, dimensional lumber, and too much to mention. You’re going to find some great bargains here, just in time for your winter projects!

This swap meet will be held at 2267 West Gowan in North Las Vegas.  The swap meet open to the public, so please feel free to bring a guest along. If you have questions or need directions, call 702-672-8981 for more info.

We hope to see you at the swap meet!!

Everything you always wanted to know about lasers... come to our 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. Our next meeting is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, October 18, at 7:00 and will be held at Woodcraft of Las Vegas,  5220 West Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89146.

If you’ve attended our last few meetings, you know we’ve gone down a rabbit hole with laser discussions.  Our guest speaker this week will be Rick Ratayczak, of Castle Craft Furniture, 

who will speak about lasers - the different types, what to look for when purchasing one, how to use them (software wise) and much more. Better yet - Rick is bringing his XTool D1, which is a 10 watt diode laser, to demonstrate how a laser works. 

He’ll be lasering a couple of things, and has a ton of knowledge to share about these amazing tools. If you’ve been considering adding a laser to your arsenal, you’ll definitely want to attend this meeting!

We’ll also be displaying our entries for the “Nativity” contest we discussed last month. 

Partnering with Lighthouse Charities - we challenged our members to come up with Nativity scenes that Lighthouse will be able to decorate and sell at their upcoming holiday fundraiser. First prize is $100, second is $50 and third is $25 - we hope we get some amazing entries!

With the laser discussion AND the Nativity contest, holding a Show and Tell is iffy - but we’ll try!

As always, the public is welcome to attend our meetings, so members - please feel free to bring a guest along. If you have questions or need directions, call my studio at (702) 672-8981.

See you Wednesday!
