Howard County Woodworkers Guild (HCWG)
The Guild is a collegial organization of like-minded and creative individuals, dedicated to sharing in the art of fine woodworking craft, nurturing newcomers, and giving back to our community.
Whether your interest is in turning, fine woodworking, carving, finishing, lumber, trees, or camaraderie, all of the above, or you’re not sure; our Guild is for you. Come to a meeting or two and get acquainted.
Our Guild does not buy or make anything for retail sale. We do not buy used woodworking related items to resell. We do sell our own used items. We do provide a marketplace where buyers and sellers, or those seeking help, may post an ad for that purpose.
We offer with limited capacity educational opportunities provided by dedicated and skilled senior craftsmen and women (SME program & Classes). Our monthly meeting is highlighted by impressive show-n-tell reviews of finished projects, and a 60-90 minute skill presentation (Monthly Presentations Schedule).
Your NEW Workshop
Our new Workshop Coordinators, Ron Fico and Stu FitzGibbon (Assistant) have really applied new leadership to the Guild’s workshop.
New expanded hours, additional monitors and backups, training in the near future, and online shop open-or-closed status on the workshop homepage. It just doesn’t get much better!
Additionally, to protect the Guild, Howard County and Bain Center a new rule for shop opening authority has been established with Bain Center management. Only the Workshop Coordinators and Monitors and Board of Directors can unlock the shop. The workshop must be closed and locked if there is no monitor or board member in physical attendance.
