San Diego Tool Swapmeet - Sunday Nov. 2nd, 2008

Each year on the first Sunday in November starting at 6:00 AM San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association and the Rockler Woodworkers Store (8199 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., between I 805 and State Route 163) bring together dozens of sellers and hundreds of buyers to sell, trade, bargain and barter.

It’s the right place to buy or sell or trade hand and power tools, woodworking machinery, wood, finishing equipment and supplies, publications, hardware and other good stuff, and there’s no participation costs for both buyers or sellers. It’s pretty much finished by eleven, so you should get there early to make the best deals and see your woodworking and tool collecting friends. Al De Vries the event coordinator can be reached at (619) 440-6598.

Craftsman Studio will be open from 7:00 AM to 12:00 Noon in their new store location (4848 Ronson Ct, Suite L) about three blocks from Rockler.

We will have in-store Specials and offer the opportunity to try out a wide selection of hand tools from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks, HNT Gordon and others.

Check out the the latest woodworking DVD’s from Rob Cosman, Ian Kirby, and Lie-Nielsen Toolworks.

We’ll be demonstrating sharpening techniques for planes and chisels using the Shapton GlassStone series waterstones.

Happy hunting!
