Join the Guild

Membership Information

• Memberships are for 1 year from the date you join.
• You must be  at least 18 years old to join the Guild as a member and use the machine room. Those under 18 years old may join as part of a  family membership and use the bench room.

Paying online through PayPal is the quickest and most secure method to pay as the whole process is automated.  A recent PayPal change now initially prompts you to set up an account but, you do not need to do so, just go to Pay by Credit/Debit Card, and enter your card numbers.

If you do not want to use PayPal, we can accept checks only for membership payments or donations.  At this time, we cannot accept checks for classes or shop time.  Send checks to

Membership Card

Your membership card will show up under your profile (click on your name in the upper right) and select View Profile.  Your membership card will be displayed, and you can then make a .pdf of the card.  If local vendors ask, you can show it to them on your smartphone.

• Renewals - For renewals, you will receive a renewal email prior to your renewal date. If you do not renew, you will receive two notices after your renewal date at which time your membership will become "lapsed." Please consider renewing as our nonprofit Guild relies on our membership fees.
• Upgrades - If you want to upgrade your membership level (i.e. from General to Professional or one of our patron levels), go to your Profile (click on your name in the upper left). Under Membership Details select "Change" and follow the instructions.  You will be billed at the new level.  Unfortunately we cannot provide a credit for the remaining time on your current membership.

If you need help or have questions, email the Membership Director.

Give the perfect gift to a woodworker - a one-year General Membership to the Guild.  To gift a membership

1. Select Gift Membership below
2. Enter the email address of the person receiving the gift - this will be their login user name
3. Select an effective date.
4. Ignore the rest of the fields.  The new member will fill these out then they register.

The membership will be entered into our database but it will not be effective until the date you assign so they will not receive any emails or indication of membership.  On the effective date, they will receive a welcoming email and instructions on how to set up their password and fill out their profile
