Woodworking News 2


  

For the Carpenter in You...
A relatively new magazine caught our eye recently. Smart Homeowner is directed at a wider audience than woodworkers, but the editors certainly cater to our interests. Over the past few issues they have run pieces on, for example, The Truth About Wood, Wood Protection, Engineered Wood Help, and New Life for Old Wood. Their Web site is well worth a look, especially if your woodworking interests run to home renovation, repair or contruction. The current issue includes articles on stress-free additions, a kitchen quiz, composite wood products in doors, and a whole lot more.

Teacher Opening
The Friends Central School in Wynnewood, PA is looking for a woodworking teacher. "After 33 years of teaching, our woodshop teacher is retiring.

As it is now, woodshop is offered to 6th and 8th grade as 7-week rotations and in Upper School as year-long electives." Candidates should have experience and certification in teaching, and a background in wood and woodworking.

For more information on the position, call Ray DeSabato at 610-645-5065, or Bill Darling at 610-645-5104.
