Our Mission Statement Woodturning should be FUN, and we want to help you learn how to enjoy all the things you can create! We'll help you keep your sense of humor, both with yourself and with your work, to gain knowledge and experience from your trials and tribulations. We don’t call them “mistakes” in woodturning - they are simply new “design opportunities” ! |
