The Mid-Hudson Woodworkers held its third annual Woodworking Show on Saturday, October 17 at the Hurley Reformed Church.  The Mid-Hudson Woodworkers is a chapter of the Northeastern Woodworkers Association, an all volunteer, nonprofit organization.
 
In previous years Mid-Hudson Woodworkers has participated in the Dutchess County Fair, the Sheep and Wool Festival, the Hunter Mountain Craft Fair and the Hurley Corn Festival.  We have also been active in our support of the NWA Woodworkers’ Showcase held each Spring in Saratoga.
 
The Mid-Hudson Woodworkers has from time to time participated in projects to assist the local community.  Most recently, we have built storage sheds for the Boy Scouts camp.  The previous year we built a playhouse for the local chapter of CASA, the Court Appointed Special Advocates. 
 
This year’s Woodworkers Show featured some excellent displays of our members’ work, including furniture, boxes, bowls, goblets, guitars and artistic pieces.  It also featured many interesting demonstrations by our local experts.  There were ongoing demonstrations of different aspects of woodturning, such as bowls, vases, finials etc.  There were also ongoing scrollsaw demonstrations from basic to advanced, including holiday ornaments.  There were also ongoing hand tool demonstrations, including the use of a handplane.  Each visitor had the opportunity to use a handplane to make a very fine shaving.  For children, we conducted a “Children’s Workshop” throughout the day, in which each child attending  made a birdhouse to take home (free of charge).  We also had wooden cars as gifts for younger children.
 
There was a raffle of selected woodworking items as well as a sale of selected items.
 
Admission was $3.00, free to children under the age of 12.   Everyone who attended prior Shows had a wonderful time.  This year’s Show was be a fun day for everyone.
