The Guild normally meets at 7pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month except December, usually at one of the members' shops, giving everyone a chance to see how others have conquered limited space or arranged their equipment to solve special circumstances. A typical meeting begins with a short business section, followed by "Show and Tell," and then a Demonstration by a member or special guest. Occasionally meetings will be held at special venues, such as the Madisonville Maritime Museum, or a commercial woodworking shop.

In addition to participation in the annual Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival, The Guild holds an annual cochon-de-lait for Guild families and friends and a Christmas banquet in December.
