Lie-Nielsen
Hand Tool Event
Goosebay Sawmill & Lumber
83 Dover Road
Chichester, NH 03258
March 13-14, 2020
Friday (9am - 5pm)
Saturday (9am - 4pm)
Goosebay is pleased to announce that we are once again hosting a
Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event
on March 13 & 14, 2020. This event is part of the company’s ongoing international program to expose woodworkers of all ages and skill levels to the benefits of traditional hand tools and techniques.
There is no charge to attend this event. As founder and president Thomas Lie-Nielsen says: “We started these events to expose more woodworkers to the improvements in quality, environment, and enjoyment that hand tool work can offer, and over the past decade we’ve seen their popularity explode with new and experienced woodworkers alike. Incorporating traditional tools and methods can offer even die-hard machinery users ways to bring their work to the next level. The fact that our tools don’t require earplugs or respirators just adds to the appeal.”
Lie-Nielsen will be bringing their entire tool line.
You are welcome to give them a try. Educators will be on hand to answer your questions and to give demonstrations of tool setup, use, and sharpening. Visitors are encouraged to get hands on and ask questions.
Guest Demonstrators:
- Fri & Sat: Tom McLaughlin of Epic Woodworking
- Fri & Sat: The Wooden Boat School of Brooklin, ME
- Sat only: Gary Wood of Gary R Wood & Co
- Fri & Sat: The Guild of NH Woodworkers
- Fri & Sat: The Guild of Maine Woodworkers
- Fri & Sat: Claude Dupuis of Canterbury Turnings
- Fri & Sat: The Vermont Woodworking School
- Sat only: Steve Branam of Close Grain
- Fri & Sat: Tours of Goosebay’s Facility at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm

General Meeting & “Summer Trip”
Wednesday, April 22
The date for our April General Meeting has been changed to
Wednesday, April 22 and will be combined with an early “Summer Trip” to the
Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH.
The topic for this meeting/summer trip is Period Furniture and will be kicked off with a presentation by
Phil Lowe from the Furniture Institute of Massachusetts in Beverly, MA. Following lunch, we will have a
curator guided tour of the museum’s period furniture collection and will be able to
view the furniture from within and without, as the curator will open the drawers and cabinets for us to see.
Save the date and stay tuned for more details which will be announced soon in Touch-ups and the Guild calendar.

Anniversary Celebration—30 Years
The Guild was founded in 1990 by 18 serious woodworkers. From those humble beginnings, we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year. The goals were written in this statement which still forms a pretty good foundation for the organization...
"The Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers is an association of professionals and amateurs bound by a common interest in seeking and practicing excellence in woodworking. Through regular meetings, lectures, demonstrations, juried exhibits, and a newsletter, the Guild strives to bring together the diverse interests of the New Hampshire woodworking community."
The newsletters, going all the way back to that first meeting, are archived
here. The newsletter was given the name
The Old Saw in February, 1991.
We are planning a 30th anniversary cookout at
Homestead Woodworking School in Newmarket, NH on Sunday, June 28. There will be a tent with catered food, music and family fun.
Details are being worked but we do need you to register (families welcome) so we can better plan.
Please register here.
