The San Fernando Valley Woodworkers

The SFVW was formed in 1988 for the purpose of enhancing skills, providing information and sharing the joys of working with wood. None of this group knows everything, but between the lot of us, we know a whole bunch.

The membership reflects a cross section of woodworking interests and skill levels - both hobbyist and professionals. This is not an exclusive club; anyone interested in woodworking is encouraged to attend, become a member, ask questions, participate in discussions and enjoy the experience.

Because you are reading this on the web, if you are not familiar with where the San Fernando Valley is, it's in the north region of Los Angeles County California. Our members include those from the San Fernando Valley and the San Gabriel valley (the East end of Los Angeles county).

This month, September 15th

This is the night to bring in your cleverest, most mundane, largest, smallest, newest, and oldest appliances. Several members tell me this is their favorite meeting of the year.

But that only happens when you bring something in!

  • November 17 – Annual toy contest.
