Tell me about your meetings

We meet once a month at one of our members' shops or homes. We take turns hosting the meetings. Usually the member hosting the meeting will be in charge of the "program" that night. Programs vary from discussing a bamboo kitchen, to historic preservation techniques, dovetail methods, introductions to new and unusual shop tools, kiln-dried lumber, how to work with exotic hardwoods, wood turning, etc. Topics are limited only by our collective imaginations.

Guild members who host a meeting usually provide something for a casual dinner such as brats, grilled chicken, a pot of soup or chili. Other members bring side dishes and beverages. We have time at the beginning of each meeting to chow down, catch up socially, and get to know new members. After our "meal" we get down to whatever business is at hand, the educational portion then planning for future meetings, exhibits, etc.

As a group we strive to give back to our community by offering our time, expertise and donated tools or handcrafted woodworking to local non-profits, museums, school, etc. We welcome all members ideas for how we can better serve our community as woodworkers, hobbyists and business owners.

Please join us if you are a woodworker, have a related interest or business, or just think you'd like to see what sort of folks woodworkers are! Check the Guild Calendar on our main page sidebar for future meeting dates times and locations.
