Membership & Benefits

Welcome to Wabash Valley Woodworkers

  • When do you meet? We meet monthly from September through May on the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Lafayette Christian School (some road trips).
  • What else do you do? Beyond the meetings we annually attend the Feast of the Hunters Moon with our “Big Wheel” lathe to put on a show for families. We attend other local shows (art & community). Periodically our members will host how-to classes on certain topics (shaker oval boxes, Kumiko, etc…)
  • What can I learn? Meeting subjects have included scroll saw techniques, chip carving, finishing, sanding procedures, sharpening, project planning, lathe work, cabinet construction, bowl carving, band saw boxes, jig and fixture construction, tours to shops, and many other subjects.
  • Who teaches? Most of the meetings are conducted by members sharing their ideas and projects. For one Meeting each year, a professional presenter is brought in. This event is usually an additional fee to attend above the normal dues.
