Benefits from Using the Shop

  • Beginners – Don’t have tools, space or budget?   You can start your woodworking experience using the Guild’s shop, tools and space.  Learn what tools to buy and how to use them.
  • Intermediate Woodworkers– Want to upgrade your tools, skills or need space for your next project?  Many members will do the heavy power tool work in the Guild’s shop and finish work at home.  Or you may need an expensive specialized tool or accessory that is hard to justify for one project.
  • Professionals – Need access to professional grade tools?  The specialized tools available in the Guild’s shop will save you time and money.  This includes a Wide Belt Sander, Sliding Table Saw and multi-routers.
  • Working Space and Storage– Have a project but no space to work?  We offer free bench room use for your project plus on-site storage so you do not have to cart your project back and forth from home. (storage space and purchase information is HERE)
  • Budget – We all have limited budgets.  Good tools are expensive and cheap tools are frustrating.  The Guild offers free use of high quality hand tools.  Our power tools are professional grade and will save you time and deliver superb results.
  • Fellowship & Advice – Talk shop with other enthusiasts.  Drop in during open shop time and discuss your project and/or problems with other members.  Advice you get before and during a project can be invaluable.
