Issue 1

Oliver’s Woodturning takes its first steps

Well, this is the first newsletter from Olivers Woodturning. Don’t worry there won’t be an ongoing bombardment of junk mail from us clogging up your inboxes. We will only send something out every few weeks if there something that we want to share.

In this issue you will find some tutorials, our forum members share their work, club event news, details of our current freebie and there is a 10% discount on Robert Sorby texturing tools.

So let’s get started.

Forum activity

Our new forum has about 6 active members at the moment but many more people have taken the trouble to view it, so why not get involved and join in. You could show off some of your work in the woodturning gallery.
