Meetings
are normally held on the third Tuesday of the month (except August) at
7:30pm at the Bryant Center, Alexandria, VA. A typical meeting
consists of a business portion to discuss the status of the club,
upcoming events, group book & tool purchases, and other Guild
activities. The business portion of the meeting is then followed
by a 'Special Program' highlighting some new aspect of woodworking for
skill enhancement and education.

The
Bryant Center:
2709 Popkins Lane, Alexandria, VA 22306
From Virginia or Maryland take I495/95 toward
Virginia Exit #1 (US Rt. 1). Go south on Route 1 and approximately
1.9 miles south of the Beltway you will pass the Beacon Mall complex.
Go through the light on Beacon Hill Road. The third light after
Beacon Hill Rd. will be Popkins Lane. Turn left
onto Popkins Lane and go two blocks. The Bryant Learning Center
entry will be on your right. Turn in and bear to your left. Drive to the
far side of the
building. Plenty of parking on the side or in the parking lot. The
entrances to the woodworking shop and meeting rooms are off the east
side of Bryant Center.
Yes....well, almost!! The Guild is in the process of
renting space in Manassas, VA with equipment to support classes, workshops, and
project construction. We expect the shop to open this spring.
I’m a beginning Woodworker,
how do I get involved in the Guild?” ?
Washington
Woodworkers Guild is a volunteer run organization. We are guided by the
belief that active participation be all guild members will result in a
better woodworking experience for every member. We encourage all members to
contribute their time in support of various Guild sponsored events. To this
point there are many tasks that Guild member can undertake that do not
require extensive woodworking skills. For example:
• Start a
forum topic—ask a question and engage other members in a woodworking
discussion.
• Post a book or video review
• Post a school/class review
• Coordinate a monthly meeting
• Coordinate a Masters Weekend workshop
• Sponsor a piece of shop equipment (perform preventative and corrective
maintenance)
• Donate a book or video to the Guild library
• Volunteer to be a Guild Coordinator
• Volunteer to help a Guild Coordinator
• Volunteer your professional skills and/or experience to the Guild
