Woodworking Show Press Release -
2014
The Rapid
City Woodworkers Association (RCWA) will be sharing their skills and showing
finished art products during their sixth annual Woodworking Show. It will be
held Saturday May 10, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Knecht Home Center at
320 West Boulevard in Rapid City. The event is free to the public, and those
interested in joining the organization are particularly welcomed.
The show will feature displays of fine woodworking projects by individual
members. The group will show collections of Old Tools, Old Toys, Marble Games,
and Favorite Woodworking Jigs. There
will also be live demonstrations of woodturning, scroll sawing, toy-making, and
use of hand tools. Visitors to the show can also register for a monthly club
newsletter and various door prizes of donated wooden items hand-made by
members. A raffle will be held for several select wooden items. Proceeds will
be used to buy supplies for the RCWA’s Toy Making Program for less fortunate children
in the Black Hills.
Woodworking demonstrations will include several projects. These will explain how
to make wooden toys and boxes, turning bowls and pens on a lathe, and using a
scroll saw for name signs or clock parts. Interested children can have their
individual names cut from wood and take them home. Visitors are also welcomed
to help sand toy parts. Members of the RCWA will be available to share advice
as well as swap ideas for techniques and projects from those attending the
show.
The event will be held at 320 West Boulevard near the intersection of Omaha and
West Boulevard. Specials on tools and supplies for woodworking will be featured
throughout the Knecht Home Center as well. Additional information can be
obtained from RCWA President Bob Buchanan at 348-2865 or Rick Weisbeck at
