The Gold
Coast Woodturners, a chapter of the American Association of
Woodturners, was formed in 1992 to promote an awareness of the
craft and art of modern-day turning. Each meeting is designed and
organized to present woodturning-related programs and projects to
the members. Demonstrations are also presented that may be
performed by a GCWT member or a world-recognized guest turner. No
matter what is scheduled for the next meeting, the results will be
the same. Woodturners will gather to share their experiences as
well as learn from the experiences of others. All benefit, novices
and 'old-timers' alike. Beginners learn techniques and
styles while the experts reaffirm their skills by demonstrating and
teaching.
The Green Country Woodworkers are made
up of men and women who are interested in woodworking as a hobby.
The monthly meetings are conducted as educational forums for the
benefit of our members and guests. We have idea exchanges, problem
solving sessions, safety tips and tool tips plus a main speaker on
topics related to woodworking in all its phases.
Founded in 1982, this non-profit
volunteer organization is comprised of 30% professionals and 70%
hobbyists of various skill levels. Guild members have a variety of
woodworking interests, including furniture design and construction,
cabinet making, antique furniture restoration, turning, carving and
most forms of woodworking.
