MENAI REGION WOODTURNERS INC

MENAI REGION WOODTURNERS INC
Details

We are one of the affiliated incorporated organisations that that comprise the Sydney Woodturners Guild Inc.

As a region, of moderate size, we concentrate on giving the members that attend our monthly meetings 'hands-on' tuition and advice.

Our Aims

To create an environment where new and existing members can receive informal, personal and 'hands-on' woodturning tuition.
To provide a venue where members can discuss all woodturning issues.
To provide demonstrations, presentations and advice as and when members require.

Workshop
The workshop has 5 Woodfast lathes, complete with tools, various chucks and faceplates.
This equipment is supplemented with the region's Teknatool Comet lathe, which has its own tools and accessories.

What we do
Members are encouraged to bring timber and tools and, under guidance if required, work on their projects.
The region supplies timber and tools for those members who do not yet have their own.

Visitors, even those of you just mildly curious, and members from other regions are more than welcome to come along to any of our meetings.
You will enjoy the company, make new friends and be encouraged to ask plenty of questions.
