Our club meets on the first Thursday evening of every month, at Snainton Village Hall, Snainton (near Scarborough in North Yorkshire), from 7.30 pm until 9.30 pm, 10 pm at the latest. Doors open at 7.00 pm, and there is opportunity to talk to other members prior to the demonstration starting, and of course during the tea break half way through. Where possible we broadcast demonstrations on Zoom for members who cannot attend, and make them available on You Tube for a period after the event. The club meets at 19:15 on the third Wednesday of every month. We have either a guest turner or a club night "turn-in", where some members demonstrate various projects and techniques and others can try "hands on". We also run an all day Master Class twice a year for a more in-depth demonstration, and competitions for everyone to show off their own work. The Axminster Woodturners' Club provides its members the opportunity to learn and exchange ideas on all aspects of woodturning. We offer a range of demonstrations using the expertise of members as well as 'Master classes' led by many of the countries leading turners and wood artists. One of the most popular activities is when we have hands-on sessions, during which members work in groups to produce an item or practice techniques. The aim of the branch is to create in its meetings an atmosphere of friendly informality and promote the art and craftsmanship of the woodturner.

The Branch is made up of members from a wide range of occupations and professions, with a range of expertise, from the non-turner to the professional turner. All have a common bond – the love of Wood in general and of woodturning in particular. A cavity or hole cut to allow a tenon to pass through to make a joint. A mortice usually has square ends when cut by hand with a chisel or hollow chisel morticing machine. They can be round ended when cut with a router or slot morticer. We number about 60 individuals, a friendly and sociable bunch, at all levels of skill from experts to beginners, from around the Dorset and Hampshire area all with a keen interest in woodturning. We have regular lectures and live demonstrations on the various aspects of woodturning and friendly competitions for all our members to show off their work. The club opened a new workshop in 2015 adjacent to Kegworth Village Hall, Nottingham Road, Kegworth, Derby, DE74 2FH, near Junction 24 of the M1 motorway. Members will be able to develop their woodturning skills and knowledge through the regular monthly meetings. Subjects being covered at the meeting with include items such as, health and safety, the use of tools and wood technology, how to develop creative/artistic turning, among many other subjects that will help new or experienced woodturners to develop in a friendly safe environment.Meetings are held regularly on the first and third Wednesday of every month from 7.00 pm to 9.30 pm in Weedon Village Hall, which has a large car park.

At various times we have been invited to participate in various woodland related events, where we demonstrate woodturning, and give hands-on experience. We have also been approached by other bodies, e.g. organisations for the physically disabled, such as the ALPHA Project, also the Scottish Prison Service, to provide assistance in training, rehabilitation etc. ii) The fault is deemed not to be the responsibility of Charnwood (Please Note: A charge equal to the actual cost for the collection and re-delivery of the goods will be made prior to return of the goods). The Max Carey Woodturning Trust is fully equipped workshop facility available to all members. This workshop has over 20 lathes and tuition is also available. The main aim of the Branch is to encourage good, original woodturning and to help with this we have demonstrations and members display table each month.The main meeting will start at 7:30pm and finish around 10pm. Most meetings feature a talk or demonstration about a turning or related subject by a club member or a well-known national turner. Several times a year we have ‘turn-ins’ with a number of lathes being operated by members demonstrating various techniques. Trees that shed their foliage annually, commonly referred to as hardwood. It should be noted that this does not necessarily mean the timber produced is hard. Regular meetings are held on the first Friday of every month at Etching Village Hall. Meetings start at 7.00pm. The club has nearly 50 members. Some are new to wood turning, some are very experienced. All are welcome, no experience is necessary. Come and watch, try your hand at a bit of turning, or get free advice on lathes, turning techniques, tools and equipment.
