2023 Fall Classes: starting now through November 18th!

Fall is officially here and so are our woodworking classes. 

We've got some new classes and some we’ve offered before for those of you who might have missed them. We’re also offering some classes during the week for those who cannot meet for our Saturday classes.

This is a great opportunity to get some first class woodworking training from expert professionals right here in Des Moines!

November 2023 Annual Members Meeting

November 16th at 7pm

The Fred Maytag II Scout Center

Randy Willey joins us to discuss different types of hand saws and the qualities and features to look for in a quality saw. We'll discuss techniques to get that rusty old saw back to a usable tool worthy of using in your shop.

November is also our Annual Meeting, at which we will elect next year's Board of Directors. If you have been curious about getting more involved with the Association, let us know at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.!
