He is a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awgb.co.uk\/\">AWGB<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rpturners.co.uk\/\">RPT<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cotswold-craftsmen.org\/\">Cotswold Craftsmen<\/a> and he exhibits at a number of their events in and around the Cotswolds. When Paul started woodturning, there was nowhere near as much information available on the web so a lot of the learning process was through trial and error. Being the sort of person that liked to experiment and push the boundaries of what he was capable of, this didn&#8217;t deter him at all!<br \/>\nXX years later (number omitted because it makes him sound old!) and having absorbed and developed theory and practive and a few woodturning related techniques along the way, Paul is keen to pass on some of the hard earned knowledge to other turners and groups through tuition and demonstrations. Some of the articles and tutorials on this site originated from demonstrations and serve as a reference for those who have attended but the articles are constructed to enable anyone to follow the process even if they haven&#8217;t seen it in person. A few of those articles have been published in one of the woodturning publications along the way or elsewhere on the web. Woodturning, like many other crafts, has a number of ways to achieve a given finished product. The text here describes the way Paul has become accustomed to working but there are other equally acceptable methods. The way forward is to find what works for you and to build on that.<\/p>\n<p>The lathe is believed to be one of the oldest machines known to man. In its most basic form, it is powered by hand (or leg!) but whichever version of the machine you use, they all have one thing in common &#8211; the ability to rotate a piece of wood to allow it to be cut to a circular form. Part of Paul&#8217;s journey with woodturning was (and is) discovering different ways to expand on the basic process to create visual and tactile effects. There is much more to turning that simple circles of wood.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woodturning Demonstrations and Tuition Are you interested in having a go on a woodturning lathe?
