NWA Shop is Open

High vaccination rates now allow the Railroad Avenue Shop to reopen for most woodworking activities. NWA’s Board requires that members sign in, wear face masks covering the nose and mouth and to practice social distancing whenever practical. – Irv Stephens, NWA President

The Northeastern Woodworkers Association (NWA) is an all volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization of approximately 500 woodworkers located in the Albany, NY region. We are dedicated to the advancement of the arts and crafts of fine woodworking through education, demonstrations, social interaction and woodworking projects.

Our association includes accomplished artisans as well as intermediate and beginner woodworkers — all skill levels are welcome. We improve our skills throughout the year by learning from each other. Our communities benefit when we are able to offer our woodworking skills for charitable projects.

We have a beautiful woodworking shop located at 97 Railroad Avenue in Albany that hosts classes, workshops and group activities. You can find out more about us by exploring this website or, better yet, come to one of our Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings or one of our monthly Chapter Meetings and talk with us. We’d love to meet you. Check our Calendar for times and locations.

We urge you to consider joining the NWA to take advantage of all the NWA has to offer.

— Irv Stephens, President

NWA tries to keep its membership affordable by keeping operating costs low. Membership fees, however, are supplemented by selling donated tools and lumber to members and by monies derived from the annual Showcase Exposition in Saratoga Springs. Additional donations are most welcome and are used to buy or to repair equipment or supplies that may sometimes fall outside of  the annual operating budget. There are two easy ways that you can help. First, you can make a direct donation to NWA via PayPal using the DONATE button below. The second way to help NWA is to use the Amazon’s SMILE portal and have Amazon donate a small amount to NWA every time you make an Amazon purchase.

Stay safe, help others and keep woodworking, Irv Stephens, NWA President.

*A measure in the federal coronavirus relief bill grants taxpayers an above-the-line deduction for up to $300 in charitable donations starting in 2020. You need not itemize to get this deduction.
