Contact: info@kingstonwoodturners.com)

Please bring along some of your own turning work for our "show and tell" table. If you want to bring along a failed project for discussion that is good too, or a piece of wood that has presented a challenge. We can all learn from mistakes and challenges. Learning to turn better and smarter is what the Kingston Woodturners is all about.

Every Month we have a Challenge table usually based on what presentations have been done at the previous meeting.

Upcoming meetings:

To be held at the Woodworking shop of Frontenac High School at 789 Bath Road. Kingston, Ontario. The shop can be located by entering the front doors, proceeding ahead to a T, turn left and it is the third door on the left.
