Located in Gwinnett County, Georgia, just northeast of Atlanta, the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association (GWA) is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the advancement of woodworking skills. We are a group of amateur and professional woodworkers composed of men and women, doctors, lawyers, preachers, artists, engineers, photographers, students, school teachers, college graduates, expertly trained people of all race, color and creed, as well as retirees and hardworking individuals who labor in the market place.
We usually meet at:
6684 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Suite 100
Peachtree Corners, Ga 30071
(770) 458-5539
on the second and fouth Saturday mornings each month to conduct classes and share ideas, improve our woodworking skills, and have fun. Meetings include demonstrations, lectures, hands-on sessions, and seminars teaching how to build furniture, crafts, gift items, and many other types of woodworking projects. The GWA is also chapter 192 of the American Association of Woodturners .
Whether you want to build a lake house or a dog house, if you want to build the grandson a wooden truck or build the dear spouse an heirloom jewelery chest, if you want to buy a new table saw or patch up the old bench saw - We Can Help You or We Know Someone Who Can. We are woodworkers, woodturners, scroll sawyers, carvers, painters, contractors and more. If it involves wood then we know about it, we want to learn more about it, and we'll be happy to teach you about it too.
Within our club structure are three Special Interest Groups (SIG's);
- The Scroll Saw SIG
- The Woodturners SIG - American Association of Woodturners Chapter 192
- The CNC Users SIG
Some SIGs meet separately from GWA and specialize in those particular woodworking disciplines. See the section dedicated to each SIG for meeting times, and locations.

From the Roadmap to the Future Committee
Only a few days left before the GWA elections. This coming Saturday, October 11 will be an exciting day as we move into the next chapter in the history of the GWA. Our slate of candidates for the board of directors is ready for the election and can't wait to get to work for our members.
We would absolutely love to see all of you come out, see some old friends, meet new members and show your support for the club. Remember, even if you haven't kept up on your membership, we still want you to attend!!
Peachtree's doors open at 8:00AM and food should arrive by 8:30. The meeting starts at 9:00 with nominations and a short discussion followed by the election. Immediately after, Dan Doster will show how he makes wooden toy trucks for the The Craddock Center.
If you like music, you might like to know that in a prior career Dan was one of the top 50 tenors in the world. Dan spent most of his career performing at opera houses throughout Europe and classic venues in the US.
Make sure you arrive early, you don't want to miss the chicken biscuits from Chick Fil A, and coffee, donuts and bagels from Dunkin.
We hope to see you there!
