Guy Denis, on the left, and Yvon Sonier are the two people
in charge of the Woodworking Shop at the Golden Age Club. They, along with
Romeo Giroux
have been working in the shop since it opened in 1973. It has
become a place where members with woodworking experience come often to
work on projects of their own, or to build custom made pieces to sell as a
fund-raiser for the club.
Romeo is shown above putting the finishing touches on a
flower pot stand that will be sold to generate funds for the club. Below
you can see some of the varnished pieces drying on his bench. |

Yvon showed us the storage room where a good supply of
quality lumber,
in this case oak, is kept on hand, ready for use on the
next project.

Armand Jeanveau is one of the members who uses the shop on
occasion. In the photo below, Armand is using the lathe to finish off a
leg for one of his projects.
Yvon welcomes members of the general public to drop in with
a picture or a rough sketch of something they would like to have made. The
rule-of-thumb as far as cost is concerned is that the club will purchase
the material for the project and then double that amount to come up with
the finished price. For example, if you need $100 worth of materials to
build your project, the finished product will cost you $200. And, anyone
who is familiar with the cost of good quality, hand-made wood products
will recognize that this is a bargain!
If you want any more information, just call Yvon at 969-8624 or Guy at
969-4835 |
