The Florida Chapter’s Fall 2022 meeting will be held in-person on October 15, 2022 in Lakeland, Florida. Lakeland is midway between Orlando and Tampa and is centrally located for most of our chapter members. This meeting will feature local chapter members presenting on a range of topics. We look forward to seeing everyone again.
The event will be held at Hardwood Lumber and Millwork, 4316 Wallace Rd #110, Lakeland, FL 33812. Doors open at 8:00 am and the program starts at 9:00 am. Please bring a chair for yourself and your pandemic projects for the Show-n-Tell.
Our fall meetings consists of demonstrations from several of our our local Florida Chapter members. We are in the process of lining up presenters, see 'Call For Presenters' below.
The presentations will be preceded by Show and Tell. Everyone is invited to bring in their pieces to display and discuss. Examples include completed furniture pieces, woodworking tools, samples of techniques, etc., anything related to period furniture construction that you think would be of general interest to others.
This program is open to all SAPFM members. There is no cost to attend. Lunch will be at one of the many restaurants nearby the location.
Call For Presenters
This event can’t happen without you! We need members to volunteer to give presentations on subjects related to period furniture. Typically, presenters are given an hour to present. Topics can be step-by step walk through of a furniture build, a how-to on techniques that you have used, even a jig or some other tool used in your build process. Will you consider making a presentation this Fall? Perhaps you're working on something right now. It’s still early, so you have plenty of time to prepare. Remember to take picture of your progress to show us.
Please contact Jim Hamer at [email protected] or call Jim at 863-670-9404 to let him know what you’ll be presenting on.
