The Guild supports its own Woodworking Shop, publishes a monthly newsletter with articles of interest, reports of events, notes, & comments, and sends out for sale/wanted ads and sponsors’ specials by E-mail. At monthly meetings, members can improve woodworking techniques and skills through hands on demonstrations, guest speakers and discussions. The Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild is a great source of information for every level of woodworker from amateur to professional. Our goals are accomplished through seminars, workshops, demonstrations, and networking with other guild members and the community. The Guild also sponsors community outreach programs and similar activities. We promote the skill and craft of woodworking and provide education, information, fellowship, and organization to those interested in working with wood. We operate as a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of Woodworking in Kansas City. If this interests you, please consider becoming a member today! Today, we reach out in many ways to teach young woodworkers, fellowship with our peers and sustain our community.
That night, the Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild had officially been formed! He had put an Ad in the “Dispatch” (a local paper) asking if anyone wanted to start a Woodworking Guild. One evening in November 1984, 20 people met, after responding to an Ad by one of our Charter Members. We have fine furniture makers, woodturners, home builders and more. The Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild is a membership of many woodworkers of various skills and interests.
