Public Relations
We are a busy guild with many educational events and an active grant program. However, public relations (e.g. advertising) has never been a strong suit for us. We'd like to change that including exploring social media options.
The Steering Committee is looking for someone to take this on. We need a pro-active person willing to join the committee including joining our monthly meetings in Concord, NH.

Period Furniture Meeting
December 15 from 9AM to 12
Woodcraft in Portsmouth, NH
Our meeting will have open discussion about the project and other items the membership may have questions about. There will be a demo and an opportunity for attendees to try their hand at sand shading.
I will talk briefly about how I made the herringbone banding for the bottom edge of this project knife box. Sawtooth banding inlay on the top will be discussed. Particularly about working the serpentine front with the sawtooth pattern.

Boat Building Meeting
John Larrabee will be hosting and presenting his youth boat building program.
January 5, 2019, 9:00am - 12:00pm
Eastman Lake Boatbuilding Program
Grantham, NH
The Eastman Lake Boatbuilding program operates in an old firehouse (#29 Road Round the Lake) next to the Eastman Community Association’s South Cove Activity Center at 25 Road Round the Lake, Grantham, NH. We are part of a non-profit, the Eastman Charitable Foundation, that promotes the stewardship of Eastman Lake Watershed. The shop runs during school breaks and on weekends or after school if there are special projects.

Woodworking Fundaments Group
The newly renamed Woodworking Fundamentals Group met October 6 and December 1, 2018.
Making Paneled Cabinet Doors
Both meetings were held at
Bob LaCivita’s workshop in Rollinsford, NH. The October meeting began with a demonstration on how to make the mortise and tenon door frame with grooved rails and styles. The December meeting was a continuation of the discussion and demonstration related to making paneled cabinet doors.
Bob Wyatt has posted a detailed article on these two meetings including instruction and photos.
Well worth the read.

What's on Your Bench?
Did you know that our website has a
member gallery? Check it out...currently at 33 members.
However, we are also looking to highlight current work on our home page. If you would like to contribute, we need a good focused image preferably right off the camera with your name, title and something about it like perhaps the wood it is made from.
The photo here is a Shaker Tray by Bob Couch taken from his gallery. The wood looks like cherry but I can't be sure...hey Bob, what is it? Please send photos, etc. to
Jim Seroskie.

Member Location Map
Please note that the map does not include those who have declined to share contact information or for which we don't have a street address. Still, about 88% of the current membership is included. Also the map is not dynamic, that is, it is a snapshot in time. It will likely be updated every couple of months.
Steve Costain worked up the solution to this feature. We hope you find it useful.

Guild Grant Program
Did you know?
The Guild is dedicated to furthering woodworking through the sharing of knowledge, skills and experience among its members and the general public. To that end, the Guild provides grants to institutions, organizations and schools to assist them in the furtherance of woodworking education of students and individuals.
You can find a list of the awards over the past three year here...
——————————————————
This young makerspace has moved to a large warehouse space and have designated about 1300 sq. ft. for woodworking.
MAxT is a non-profit organization and serves the Monadnock region of New Hamphire where there are no other makerspaces. They have good community financial support in the Peterborough area in addition to much donated equipment.
The Guild provided grant money to purchase a SawStop tablesaw as the center piece to the woodworking area.

Eastman Charitable Foundation Grant
|
|
Thanks to GNHW’s generous grant of $1300 for a new Powermatic 14” bandsaw and with the help of Peter James expertise, a new bandsaw has been purchased at Dan’s Max Saver, along with a mobile base, delivered and assembled at the Eastman Lake Boatbuilding shop.
Here is a photo of Anna and Nick restoring a 1969 Old Town Otka canoe with our new Powermatic bandsaw behind them.

We have added online merchandise sales to supplement face-to-face sales. All high quality items.

These meetings are generally held in small shops or other environments which require limiting the number of attendees.
They can fill up fast although cancellations do occur.
