Who Are We?

Cap'n Eddie Castelin

WorldWideWoodTurners is an organization of woodturners assembled for one reason, to spread the word about woodturning. We stand as an independent club with no financial or commercial support from any association, business, or club.

We were created by a group of turners who wanted to expand our world without restrictions. We believe that this world can exist amongst those who are performing the same task on a “pay-per-view” basis or supported by manufacturers. I have no objection to this format. But, turners on a restricted budget would like to find a source for information. That is our group, WorldWideWoodTurners.org. Created in the fall of 2019, we were originally composed of about a dozen members. We’ve grown to a world-wide status with the assistance of the internet, and especially the Zoom Network.

Our weekly meetings occurs each Wednesday evening via Zoom. We gather at 6:00 PM CDT for a little BS, just like the sessions on the tailgates out in the parking lot. No format, no rules, just questions, answers, and a little gallery. We then move into a real meeting at 7:00 PM CDT. This is where you can enjoy a “No-Cost” demonstration by one of our members, perhaps your neighbor.

This is like a family affair with a family you do like. There are lots of safe jokes, kidding, admiring, and sharing with other woodturners. Come on in and join us, you and all your friends are welcome.
