Mid-Hudson Woodworkers (MHW) is a chapter of the Northeastern Woodworkers Association (NWA), “a group of people who love woodworking and want to get better at it”. The NWA base of operations is New York’s Capital District. We, the Mid-Hudson Chapter, are based in the Kingston/New Paltz area. We have a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) whose focus is on a particular subset of woodworking.
MEETINGS OF THE CHAPTER
Meetings are held live and online via Zoom on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at our shop located at 2076 Sawkill/Ruby Road, Kingston, NY 12401. Meeting details are sent out to members each month via email. Be sure to check our calendar for details. Not a member? Join the NWA and get all the benefits of membership.
ACTIVITIES
We conduct classes and workshops separately and in conjunction with the NWA. Meetings include guest speakers, show-and-tell and members-helping-members. We also work with community groups and non-profits in woodworking.
SHOWS
We partner with the Kaatskill Woodturners Association for our show held in December. We also participate in the NWA two-day Woodworkers Showcase in Saratoga Springs, NY each March. This show is not to be missed!
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS [SIGs]
In addition to our regular meetings, there are Special Interest Groups (SIGs) which conduct their own events. Visit our SIGs page for more information and our Calendar page for meeting schedules.
