Support the Cause

The GCRJF doesn’t run itself, as it may appear, without the help of our tireless volunteers and the support of the community. As you know, the Event is FREE and it will stay that way, but we do accept donations to help recoup the cost of operations. Any amount is more than appreciated and we hope you feel like supporting the GCRJF with your attendance and a donation.
Show the love!

GCRJF VIP Registration 2017

Fields marked with a * are required.

NOTICE: Please no children under the age of 14

People have asked "how much for dinner?" and just like last year, its on the house...If you don't mind a bit of sawdust as the binder for our burgers :) kidding. Seriously, I just need to know how much food to get.

I've got an avenue with your name on it in Tent City. Spend the night and talk shop weight around the fire with us.

We are ordering T-shirts and taking names. Please let us know if you want one. They are $20. C.O.D.

I'm always looking for help with this thing. It is free after all to come and enjoy my shop. If you feel like giving back, let me know if you'd like to help.

With the fourth event under our belts, this year’s edition is sure to be bigger and better than ever! And a very special welcome to the Wadkin Blockhead Club!

We will be posting all of the event details here as they become available. Clearly you’re not the only one into this stuff!

Highlights from GCRJF

Jack demonstrates the 1942 Wadkin RM 26″ over under true pattern maker planer.

One of the 2014 highlights at the GCRJF was unveiled.

The Wadkin Temple

Take a tour of the Wadkin Temple for yourself. Be careful, some have been known to become part of the clergy and have the titles to prove it :)

“I love hearing from you!” JF

Not many people get to experience having their renovation or restoration dreams come true let alone designed and built by FORSBERG at the helm.

Jack loves hearing from people like you! Have you got a project that needs a Craftsman’s attention or have you lost trust with the poor quality of the big box stores? Or maybe you already know that quality workmanship and material are simply better and you’re looking to just get it done. Either way, drop Jack a message here and start a new conversation.

Where the magic happens.

Pricing & Plans

Cost is always Key

Whether it’s custom cabinets, fine woodworking, windows, doors, heritage restoration or a modern renovation, everyone thinks that quality costs more…and generally that is true. But… you’ll be pleasantly surprised how affordable customs and quality come together with good design and experience. Let’s chat… It won’t cost you a dime!
