The Hand Tool Special Interest Group (SIG) meets January through November, from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m., before the regular club meeting. The meetings are held in the Admirals Banquet Hall upstairs at the Batavia Overseas VFW Post 1197.

 

Hand tool woodworking is a rewarding pursuit that connects you to the rich heritage of craftsmanship. The tactile experience of working with wood using hand tools, allows for a deeper appreciation of the material's natural beauty and unique characteristics.   

 

The Hand Tool Special Interest Group (SIG) is a community of hand tool enthusiasts dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experiences.  Members engage in discussions about vintage tools, traditional techniques, and woodworking challenges, benefiting from the collective expertise of the group.  

 

Everyone interested in traditional woodworking and the tools that enable it are welcome to join us.  The knowledge, skill, and willingness to share that expertise is what the community is all about.
