What do we do as a woodturning group. In short, Heaps.

We demonstrate woodturning in the Blue Mountains and
beyond, for example, at the annual Working with Wood
Show in Sydney and at other shows put on by local
charities and community groups.

 

 

We provide training classes from novice to more experienced levels for those interested in improving their turning skills. These are conducted monthly in small groups and cover all aspects of turning and tool maintenance.

 

Our monthly meetings are always well attended and provide an excellent forum for demonstrations and discussions on all topics relating to woodturning.

There's the opportunity to pick up different techniques and observe some more experienced turners showing their skills.

 

Some of the internationally renowned demonstrators who have
demonstrated at our meetings include:
Emmet Kane (Ireland), Remi Verchot(France), Len Hill (Canada),
Mike Darlow (Australia), George Hatfield (Australia),
Ernie Newman (Australia) and Graeme Priddle (New Zealand).

 

We also support several local children's charity
groups with our annual Christmas toy making drives.
Our first year we donated about 500 tops and
last year we gave the Salvos well over
150 hand made wooden toys.
