A new training program has just been designed for all Woodworking Club members who wish to enhance their woodworking skills. This has been a joint effort by some of the Wood Shop’s senior monitors, including this month’s featured woodworker, Dave Goff. Dave developed a love for woodworking in junior and senior high school. After 40 years as a structural engineer, he rediscovered this early love after moving to SCOV four years ago. He speaks freely about the high level of talent among his fellow woodworkers and their friendly willingness to share their knowledge and experience. Dave spends his summers
