Wadsworth Adventurers
Welcome to Wadsworth Adventurers! My name is Joanna and I've been a member of "WA" since its inception over 6 years ago. I am honored that starting Jan 2022 the original organizer, Jeff, has asked me to step in and keep WA going strong for years to come. Along with my husband, Dan, we welcome you to the WA family! Who we are: WA are group of like-minded adult adventurers that love to learn new skills, challenge ourselves and enjoy the company of others while doing all things outdoors. We engage in all types of outdoor activities such as: hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, kayak/SUP and many other sports. We also enjoy all sorts of social events and are looking for new ways to connect on a deeper level. How we "roll": We limit our event attendance so that we can provide a more meaningful experience through small group interaction. We like to learn a first name and a little about each person. The idea of herding 60+ people through an event is not on our radar at all. We are not about mining for numbers, we truly look to connect with our members. For that reason, we monitor our RSVP's for no-shows or chronic late cancellations. Signing up for an event means that someone else may not get the chance to join an experience. We ask that you please be mindful of your availability and interest when committing to a WA event. Philosophy: We are a community of outdoor learners and teachers alike with a "no one left behind" philosophy. We believe in helping our group-either through personal support, education or gear - and encourage anyone looking to explore the outdoors in a supportive, welcoming environment. No need to be shy here! Why "WA": Our group is for beginners through advanced adventurers! We encourage new suggestions and ideas - and always look for fun ways to enjoy the outdoors and learn something new. We will mainly base our events out of Summit County - but trips can take us to neighboring states, across the country or even around the world! What are you waiting for?

NE Ohio Woodworking Meetup

Akron, OH

NE Ohio Woodworking Meetup

The Art of Woodworking... is not only an art... and a great hobby... but it's also an exercise for your mind.  If you watch the Discovery Channels on TV... you know that there is a great amount of effort going into introducing the world of Science and Engineering to kids... by getting them to watch science and engineering channels.  Why?  This is to coerce kids into becoming tomorrow's scientists and engineers... so that not all of our most brilliant people will be imported from other countries in the future... with Genius visas.  We need to grow our own geniuses too.

Woodworking is a great exercise in designing and building... and involves skills other than using machines and hand tools.  It's a great exercise for kids of all ages.

We are here to promote the ART of Woodworking... and the occasional math and science and engineering and design skills that go with it.


NE Ohio Woodworkers (for Ladies and Men) is a group for anyone interested in Woodworking.  Here are some things that we are dong and will be doing in the future as a group:

•  Promoting the ART of WOODWORKING 

•  Building or Expanding or Updating a Woodworking Shop

•  Designing Woodworking Projects - by yourself to share - or to get Expert Opinions from others

•  Designing Low-Cost Woodworking Projects for newcomers with minimal investment in tools

•  Collaborating Ideas and Projects

•  Discussing the Acquisition of Woodworking Machines, Power Tools and Hand Tools

•  Designing or Updating a Sawdust Collection System

•  Pooling Resources to Buy Materials, Supplies, and other Woodworking Shop items (e.g., 55 gallon drums for Sawdust Collection) and sharing the cost of a rental truck to pick up these items.

•  Woodworking (YouTube-like) Shop Tours, at our members Woodworking Shops... and maybe  Professional Cabinet Shops to see new technology or techniques. 

•  Hold Woodworking Shop Training Classes where experts share expertise with beginners

•  SketchUp classes for new members as the membership grows... and classes of SketchUp advanced topics.


All skills levels are welcome... from Beginners... to Home Hobbyists... to Pros who make a living from Woodworking.  

We started this group to meet other Woodworking enthusiasts and explore the world of Hand Made products from Wood. We will also have Social Only meetings... probably over a Micro Brew and Dinner... to discuss all things wood and sawdust... and maybe social gatherings with other local MeetUp Groups.

We envision a Woodworking community where members ask, "Does anyone need Hardwood now?"... and members get together for a group buy... OR members ask "My wife and I would like to build a wall unit and we need some advice"... and members invite them over to show how they designed and built a wall unit.... OR... a members wants feedback on a plan before a project starts.  We might need to utilize other social media to enable these ideas.
