Why Join Us?
We don’t just hang out together once a month to socialize with other woodworkers. We learn tips and tricks, and better methods to improve our woodworking skills. We also have the opportunity to share our knowledge with other woodworkers.
Our monthly meetings start with a demonstration by a master craftsman showing a special technique, unique design, or "tricks of the trade". Most presenters are professional woodworkers, but some are excellent craftsman that have other professions, too. There's a Show & Tell by members wanting to share their woodworking experiences, and, we have door prizes at every meeting. In lieu of a December meeting, we hold our annual Holiday Dinner at the Elks Lodge in Annapolis. You won't want to miss it!
Other benefits to joining:
Mentor Program
We have a large group of members that volunteer as mentors for anyone that wants to learn a new technique, or refine a particular skill. The list is provided on the Meet the Team page, and these members are very willing to help.
Tool Sharpener
The Guild has a WorkSharp power tool sharpener which can be borrowed by any member for a $5 fee (which covers the replacement of sanding disks). This tool will sharpen knives and chisels.
Discounts
We have a list of woodworking suppliers, and some have agreed to give 10 - 15% discounts to our members.
And More! ...
Other projects and events come up from time to time can be fun to participate in. Check our Calendar page for more information.
