Woodworkers Association
Everything
you've ever wanted
to know about woodworking.
Our
goal is to improve our woodworking skills,
share ideas and have a good time.
Our membership ranges from novice to very experienced
in all forms of woodworking.
We learn from each other and from guest speakers.
Our Christmas Toys for Kids project is very important to us.
If
you are lucky enough to be working wood,
you are lucky enough.
Brush
up on your skills and get motivated.
Ladies Welcome.

Membership dues are $25.00 per

There are many years of
experience at our meetings.
Each month
our members may bring in their projects for display and discussion.
This is a
very popular part of our meetings and gets much participation.
We schedule
an occasional field trip to visit an interesting location. i.e. saw mill,
festival, cabinet shop, Hoosier Bat Co.
Some members agree to host open house at their own shop. This allows their fellow members to see their equipment and also get to know each other better. We learn very much from these shop visits.
Tool
Auction
Members bring in new and used woodworking tools and materials for auction at our
January meeting.
The club owns a

bit sharpening machine.
Members may borrow this machine.

distribution to needy children.
In many cases, these are the only toys that
these children will receive at Christmas.
