DMWA Meeting

Apartment Woodworking with Kaleb Dale

Thursday, November 20, 2025 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

For several years, club member Kaleb Dale crafted everything from boxes to bookcases in his 4th floor apartment. He learned a lot about working in a tight space with neighbors pressed in on all sides. He’ll share how he worked in this non-traditional shop using traditional hand tools, pass along tips for every shop, and highlight some of his work. 

Meeting at the Fred Maytag II Scout Center, 6123 Scout Trail, Des Moines 50321.
