Cabinet Makers Group – The Woodworking Association of Pretoria
JAVASCRIPT IS DISABLED. Please enable JavaScript on your browser to best view this site.
These members are interested in the discipline of woodworking that involves the creation of cabinets as well as fine wooden furniture, and also in furniture restoration. The cabinetmakers meet normally on the second Saturday of each month, at the various workshops of members to exchange ideas and information and to demonstrate techniques. (Next meeting) They work according to an annual programme and their work form a major part of the annual exhibition of member’s work.
This group’s management committee members are Paul Roberts (convenor), Ben Prinsloo,  Hennie Ackermann and Willie Marneweck.
The Group’s objectives for this year are to get our members involved and active.
1. To inspire more members to get active in woodworking
2. To assist beginner members by way of a mentorship process
3. To get more items of cabinetry at the annual exhibition.
4. To get more involvement in Project Plank
5. To encourage members to inform us of their projects by “show and tell”.

The following members with the necesessary experience and know how have declared themselves willing to act as mentors at no charge. That means that other members may contact them to arrange for training. This is how it works:
Appointments for training will be entirely at the convenience of the Mentor.
It will not be demonstrations but actual practical hands on participation of the Trainee member.
Trainee members must be willing to bring along their own wood, chisels (and other items)
Please consult the Membership List for contact details of the Mentors

Die volgende lede met die nodige ervaring en kennis het hulle bereid verklaar om teen geen
vergoeding hulle as mentors beskikbaar te stel. Dit beteken dat ander lede hulle kan kontak
om ‘n reëlingte tref vir opleiding. Dit werk so:
1. Afsprake vir opleiding sal geheel en al volgens die Mentor se gerief wees.
2. Dit sal nie demonstrasies wees nie, maar werklike praktiese saamdoen van die Leerling lid
3. Leerling lede moet bereid wees om hulle eie hout, beitels (en ander lemme vir
skerpmaak), spuitgewere, ens, saam te bring na die Mentor se werkwinkel.
4. Raadpleeg asb die Ledelys vir die Mentors se kontakbesonderhede
