Ever considered working with wood? Have you previously enjoyed woodworking as a hobby but feel your current level of vision is not adequate for safe power tool use? Would you like to keep up with the latest information on woodworking tools, periodicals, projects and safety techniques? Join us Wednesday, May 14, at 2 p.m. Central Time, 19:00 GMT, for Seminars@Hadley as we explore safe woodworking skills.
Larry Martin of www.woodworkingfortheblind.org will join Hadley instructor Don Golembiewski to discuss woodworking resources and what every woodworker with a visual impairment needs to know to safely start or resume working with wood. Time for questions and answers will be provided.
