The San Fernando Valley Woodworkers

The SFVW were formed in 1988 for the purpose of enhancing skills, providing information and sharing the joys of working with wood.

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).

Coming Programs           

March-19th – Steve Ferguson, owner of Triumph Fine Cabinetry will be our presenter. Steve Sampietro is collecting your questions on cabinet work for this meeting. Triumph’s shop is in North Hollywood.

April-16th – Turner extraordinaire and president of the Glendale Woodturners Guild Carey Caires will be our presenter. Carey specializes in turning very small items. She works with a magnifying glass while turning, so we’ll have a video camera and screen set up for her demo.

May-21st – Woodworking Rodeo!  How quickly can you change a router bit? How many kerfs can you cut in 1” of board? While blindfolded, how many times can you hit the head of a nail? There will be ten events, and the winner gets a ‘Championship’ wooden belt buckle.


Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7 PM,
at the Balboa Park Sports Complex, Gym Building, at 17015 Burbank Blvd, Encino
