Wood Turners of North Texas posts Feb. 26 meeting, 6:30 p.m., archives

The Wood Turners of North Texas refreshed its homepage to announce the club’s monthly meeting/demo scheduled for February 26, 2026 at 6:30 PM at the Handley-Meadowbrook Lions Club, and highlighted its newsletter and newsletter archive for meeting details. The site lists the club as having “over 150 members” and brands itself with “35 Years Of Woodturning Fellowship and Skill Sharing!!,” positioning the homepage as both a recruitment and logistics.

The homepage invites newcomers and long-time turners alike with the line “We welcome everyone, regardless of skill level, to attend our monthly meetings (in person or virtual), meet our members, and see what our club has to offer.” Meeting access was described as hybrid; the site also states plainly, “Information on the upcoming meeting demonstration is provided in the Monthly Newsletter.” Link text visible on the page includes “Click here for our current Newsletter” and “Click here to access our Newsletter Archive,” along with “Click to go to our Facebook Page.”

Practical arrival details were emphasized for the Handley-Meadowbrook Lions Club location: the site gives driving directions noting the club is “about 1.5 miles south of I-30 on I-820 S. exit Craig Street (Exit 30a),” and cautions visitors that “Please note that the main entrance has been blocked by road construction (and will likely continue to be blocked for a long time).” Parking instructions specify, “To enter the Lions Club parking lot, use the back entrance on Beaty street,” and the homepage includes map link text such as “Link to Map Click Here” and “To see a map of our site click here.”

The Wood Turners of North Texas navigation bar names sections that regulars expect: “Home,” “Club Activities,” “VP's Monthly Challenge,” “Main Library,” “Mentors,” and “Members Only.” The homepage statement that the site functions “as both a recruitment and logistics” reflects its twin role in attracting new members and providing meeting-level information, though the newsletter links are the avenue the club uses to share specific demo topics and presenter names.

Nearby clubs continue to post their own schedules. The North Texas Woodworkers Association lists monthly meetings at 7:00 PM on the third Tuesday at Haggard Party Barn, 5948 McKamy Trail, Plano TX, 75024, and notes it was “founded in April 1991” and is “Now in our 34nd year.” The Gulf Coast Woodturners Association posted a February 21 club meeting featuring a demo by Walter Mooney and opened its President’s Challenge with “PRESIDENT’s CHALLENGE for February – it is Valentine’s month, so do something Valentine’s related.” Mooney’s demo description on the GCWA site begins, “I know it’s just two months after Christmas, but it’s never too early to think about or work on next year’s Christmas gifts,” and references past demonstrators Paul Mugridge and Andy Henderson.

Golden Triangle Woodturners’ site carried a February 2 meeting recap where Tana Munoz “presented on the history of the lathe” and a treadle lathe built by Louis Oberheu was available for members to try, and it lists an upcoming meeting at 7:00 PM on March 2, 2026. A World Wide Wood Turners YouTube entry posted Feb 8, 2026 titled “Welcome to the World Wide Wood Turners Meeting for 2026-02-04” included the descriptive line “See the Demo, gallery, and discussions that will give you some great ideas,” and also noted “Missing: north texas posts february details.”

Together, these club pages sketch the regional calendar: WNTX’s Feb. 26, 2026 meeting at 6:30 PM sits alongside NTWA’s third-Tuesday 7:00 PM slot, GCWA’s Feb. 21 Walter Mooney demo, and GTW’s Feb. 2 recap and March 2 meeting, while the WNTX newsletter links remain the place to find that club’s specific demo topic and any virtual access information.
