June 2026 Meeting
The next WWG event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 7:30pm at the VFW in Falls Church, Virginia.
This special presentation will be Fine Miniatures by Bob Robertson.
As a child Robertson was fascinated by the models in the Smithsonian and was constantly building replicas of the things that fascinated him. As he grew he began taking things apart to see how they worked and discovered a high degree of mechanical talent.
At 21 he discovered the decorative arts world of miniatures, which brought together all of his interests; those of small size, the challenge of making functional and complex items, tools, history and research. With the completion of his first miniature recreation, his reputation for attention to detail and excellence was recognized, and Robertson decided to make miniatures his profession.
Meeting will be available in person and via Zoom. There will be a signup sheet for members (and members of other guilds) to attend this special event as seating will be limited.

Our Guild Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month and consist of a short business segment, a show and tell of our work, a time for socializing and networking, and a monthly presentation by guest woodworkers from the woodworking community as well as members. These presentations commonly deal with skills and techniques, and may take the form of hands-on learning events for the members. Prospective members are encouraged to attend a meeting in advance of joining to see if the Guild is a fit for them. We hope that you will attend one of these meetings, and subsequently Join the Guild. Dues are only $30 for a 12-month membership.

Tool Evaluation Services
Have you lost a loved one who left you with a collection of woodworking equipment and tools you cannot use? The WWG can help.
We recommend a woodworking equipment and tool evaluation. This process involves having one or more members of our Guild look at your equipment/tools (power and/or hand), and recommend how best to sell it. We have assisted numerous families over the past years to successfully sell the woodworking equipment/tools left behind by their loved ones.
