Woodworkers Guild of America Tracking Order Status

The woodworking world is relatively new to me, approx. 3 years, and I've been with WWGOA for about 6 months. The site has been super helpful in getting me oriented and familiar with this new world. I love the instructional videos by George and team. They are very well done with the topic thoroughly explained and fairly to the point so videos are a good duration. I really enjoy browsing the various content and learning new skills/techniques. I haven't taken advantage of the live Q&A sessions yet however plan to in the near future.

I have learned many tips and tricks on this site and as a member. One of the neatest and easy things I have learned was using angle aluminum sections and some short pieces of wood to make shop drawer handles. I just finished building a 12 drawer cabinet and used this method to make what I believe are classy drawer handles. Better than what you can buy! And there is a whole host of other things gleaned by being a member!

My wife and I moved to the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri and purchased 100 acres of hardwood forest. Before retiring as an aerospace engineer, I purchased a Lucas Swing-blade Sawmill. My wife and I built our own home and timber-frame barn with our own two hands as we started our homestead. I knew how to build buildings but had very little knowledge of fine woodworking. So, I signed up with WWGoA to learn all I could. With the skills I learned from George, I built my own raised panel kitchen cabinets from some of the Black Walnut I harvested from our property. I have also learned to build furniture, shelving, molding and trim. But also improved my skills of storing and curing lumber, identifying which wood types to use for which project or use. George has a wealth of knowledge and an engaging teaching style that makes it so easy to learn complex and varied woodworking skills. I especially love when he shows how to work with actual log handling and tuning every part of the tree into beautiful projects. If you're a homesteader, you'll want to get a subscription to George's WWGoA. He makes it affordable for those who don't have a lot of money. But the money you'll save with the skills he teaches will more than cover even the full price membership. Keep up the great teachings!!!
