This month’s Plane Talk recaps Chuck Nickerson’s deep dive into vacuum veneering, exploring tools, glues, and techniques for flawless curved and flat applications. The meeting also featured a lively Show & Tell, from musical bones made of century-old Douglas fir to rustic stools, shoji-style doors, and reclaimed wood projects. Club president Jim Baldridge highlighted upcoming fall events — the Toy Build (October 18–19 at El Camino High School), Jigs & Fixtures night, and November’s Kinetic Challenge and officer elections.
The newsletter also features Part III of Brittany Joiner’s Guédelon series, as she nears completion of her hand-crafted medieval chest built with only period tools. Plus: a wealth of online woodworking resources, tool reviews, and details on the “Beautiful Tools” exhibit at the Craft in America gallery.
