Turners Anonymous is a group of woodturning enthusiasts from the Tri-State area surrounding Pittsburgh. We love all things about woodturning… the satisfaction of a sharp clean cut; the smell of freshly sliced cherry shavings; an excuse to buy new, expensive tools; and most importantly, the chance to help others to explore and enjoy the hobby as much as we do.

Please feel free to explore these pages to learn more about Turners Anonymous, look at some photos, and consider coming to a meeting.

Next Meeting

 

November 16th, 2024

 

For our November meeting, local woodturner Craig Smith will help us to get a leg up on the December box exchange by doing a demonstration on turning end grain boxes. This demonstration will focus on some of the basic keys to safely and successfully turn your box. Topics will include the differences between end grain and side grain boxes, the proper order of operations, getting the type of fit on the lid that you want, and jamb chucking to complete the bottom of the box body.

After lunch, we plan to clear the decks and set up several more lathes for a hands-on session to give interested members the chance to try out some of the techniques on their own box. Craig will be around for this session and some of the more experienced turners will be around, too. Hopefully this will provide an opportunity for anyone/everyone who are interested to try making their own end grain box.
