National Woodworkers Association??

[lighthearted]

We are in the process of getting the NYC Woodworkers Guild up and running.  

 

We are in the logistics part at the moment and I came across the American Association of Woodturners.  It is an amazing organization, but obviously more specialized to woodturners, although there are a few strictly woodworking chapters.

 

Does anyone know of a woodworking association like this on a national level?  It might be more beneficial to be chapter of a larger organization for things like insurance.

 

I'd love to hear any feedback on your local guild as well.  Thanks!!

Slightly off topic... is there a website for the NYC group? I live in central NJ, but work in NYC.

There was a group formed last year, that met once a month at Makeville Studio in Brooklyn and had some great meetings.  For a variety of reasons, the founders were not able to continue, so a small group of us are in the process of restarting the group.  Yes there was a website, but it recently expired.  We do have a facebook page NYC Woodworkers.  PM me if you are interested in being on the mailing list going forward.

You live in central NJ? You should check out our woodworking club, the Central Jersey Woodworkers Association.  First meeting is free, so there's no downside for coming over once.
