The Bay Area Woodturners Association (BAWA) is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. Our purpose is to provide a meeting place for local wood turners to share ideas, techniques and to educate the general public regarding the art of wood turning.Thought about WOODTURNING? Here are a few videos that show how woodturning tools are used. There are also beginning classes at the bottom of the list, Woodturning 101 and Woodturning 150. Face to face classes are offered at Pleasant Hill Adult School, find info under classes in the heading at the top of this page. To learn more, join the Bay Area Woodturners Association. If you’re are a member of the Bay Area Woodturners Association you have access to all woodturning videos on this website under the members only section. Member videos start prior to 2016 covering presentations from professional turners, club members, Sawdust Sessions, we also have three pages of vendor lists by product with access to their websites, 70 training videos from Jim Rodgers. We currently have over 150 videos on woodturning, and that number grows weekly. There is also a new gallery section (that is under construction) with photos from member Show and Tell andThe President's Challenge. The history on this page will go back 6 months. We are also exploring more new content for members only; your suggestions are welcome. Happy Turning |
