1. On-Line – Paying online is the quickest and most secure method to pay as the whole process is automated. 

PayPal allows a certain number of “Guest” checkouts where you can just enter your credit card number rather than open an account.  After you have exceeded their "Guest" Checkouts you will need an account.

2. By Check - If you do not want to use PayPal, we can accept checks only for membership payments or donations.  At this time, we cannot accept checks for classes or shop time.  Send checks to

Gift Membership

Give the perfect gift to a woodworker - a one-year General Membership to the Guild.  To gift a membership

1. Select Gift Membership below
2. Enter the email address of the person receiving the gift - this will be their login user name
3. Select an effective date.
4. Ignore the rest of the fields.  The new member will fill these out then they register.

The membership will be entered into our database but it will not be effective until the date you assign so they will not receive any emails or indication of membership.  On the effective date, they will receive a welcoming email and instructions on how to set up their password and fill out their profile.

Your membership card will show up under your profile (click on your name in the upper right) and select View Profile.  Your membership card will be displayed, and you can then make a .pdf of the card.  If local vendors ask, you can show it to them on your smartphone.

• Renewals - For renewals, you will receive a renewal email prior to your renewal date. If you do not renew, you will receive two notices after your renewal date at which time your membership will become "lapsed." Please consider renewing as our nonprofit Guild relies on our membership fees.  To renew click here: Renewal
• Upgrades - If you want to upgrade your membership level (i.e. from General to Professional or one of our patron levels), go to your Profile (click on your name in the upper left). Under Membership Details select "Change" and follow the instructions.  You will be billed at the new level.  Unfortunately we cannot provide a credit for the remaining time on your current membership.

If you need help or have questions, email the Membership Director.

Gift Certificates are available for classes or shop time HERE
