Membership requirements?

[RESPITE95]

Does your woodworking club have membership guidelines or requirements that address participation or quality of work? If you response, what size is your group? GCS

[Vic Baron]

Now THAT is a loaded question. Our numbers are legion. Our quality of work ranges from a bad toothpick maker to beautiful works of art. You don't have to be crazy but it helps. It also helps to have a thick skin and a very good sense of humor.

And send me your credit card number so I can auto deduct your daily dues

Hope this answers your questions -

I haven't joined the local group but they're open to everyone...

"The Saskatchewan Woodworkers' Guild welcomes any new members with an interest in working with wood."

The membership list isn't publicly available on their web site, so I don't know how many belong.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ours has a somewhat general requirement that the member is breathing and that their work has somewhat a resemblance to wood.

Yea, all the good you do, nobody remembers. All the bad, nobody forgets...

Reminds me of the time a buddy of mine put a new motor in a race car and had problems with it bogging down coming off the line. Once it got up some speed, it had all kinds of torque ... It ended up being the crankshaft was the problem. The motor came out of a boat...

We still play "Anchors Away" into his answering machine to this day... AND tease him about some great deal a guy had on a trailer for it...a boat trailer... He will never live that one down... The guy who sold him the motor was the brother of a well known NASCAR team owner who really should have known better...

I am the official treasurer for this group so all monies should flow through me.

PURPLEteen, a new colorful number below 20.

[BRuce]

yes, now please multiply 3 1/2 by purple and those are the yearly dues. :-)

PS, it doesn't matter what color you use the answer is always 42.

I was practicing multiplication flash cards with Claire (age

Coincidence???

Now that's funny. Just saw bits and pieces of a History channel show on Bootleggers. And all the things they did to their transportation to stay ahead of the law. Your friend doesn't make extra income does he.........?

So I asked a straight question and I got I'm not sure what, with a few exceptions. Maybe it has been a bad weather weekend and too many of us have spent too much time..... oh what the hell. Thanks to those who made a response to my question. It seems that like most groups, 20% of the folks do the work for themselves and the other 80%. Wish we could get past that. GCS

[Unisaw A100]

Really I think maybe you should go back and see what it was you originally posted. Now had you posted something like this:

Hello,

I'm interested in knowing of the woodworkers here who belong to local groups or guilds how many (insert balance of question here regarding qualifications and requirements of the guild/group)...

You see, with the way you'd stated your question most people thought you were asking about qualifications for membership to this group (rec.wood).

Does that help to clear things up/smooth over some feathers/dislodge and bugs?

By the way, I think the intent of your inquiry was a good one and would have been a good subject for the group to discuss. Feel free to re-ask, this time with some clarity.

if you are inquiring about this, rec.woodworking, it's not a club. it's a newsgroup. the requirements are that you participate. if you have something interesting and useful to contribute, please do. if not, please don't..... : ^ )
