Bricklayer turned Woodturner

Hi everyone… I’ve just got my self a lathe, tools etc. I’m brand new to woodturning, i was wondering, is there any local clubs around Euxton area or close by…I’ve realised very quickly there’s lots to learn, especially for a former bricklayer…

Just ‘Google’ “Woodturning Club near Euxton” and check out the results.
Also look for courses with a professional - not cheap but concentrated input will get you safely on the way to turning on your own. Beware Youtube - not all the demonstrators use safe practices.
Happy turning, Philip.

Thanks Phillip i’ll have a look. I’ve been on YouTube, most are just showing off with no real guidance as you say. In the meantime it’s practice, practice, practice.
Cheers
Kevin

A different kind of club online. Woodturning 360…(WT360). Two professionals, live demos and monthly meetings held on zoom.

Worth a look
