Guild Meeting at Mats' shop

 

Peter and Shaun demonstrating Complementary Template Routing. Tom showing routing jigs for cone shapes. Mark showing vacuum clamping fixtures, etc.

How do you fit two pieces of wood together when the joint is not straight? Complementary template routing! Shaun Fleming made the clock with help of some templates and paired router bits. More about the clock here.

We had offered free pizza after the meeting, and the crowds showed up!
