    Default Calling all Perth Wood turners

    Hey there,

    I live in Perth and would like to learn to turn wood. I have a couple of projects in mind but don't have the room or money for my own lathe so is there anyone one out there that could tutor me and help with my projects. I'm aware of the wood turning clubs in Perth although I'd prefer private tuition.

    Cheers

    I'd recommend a turning club in lieu of a Men's Shed. Men's Sheds often have turners, but not always good ones , nor good lathes.
