If you haven't been following this or perhaps haven't heard of this yet, worth checking out. This is the latest update that just came in:
Woodworking Channel Friends -
The American Association of Woodturners Joins The Woodworking Channel Family
If you’re a turner I have some good news for you. The Woodworking Channel has reached an agreement with The American Association of Woodturners (AAW) to broadcast footage and demonstrations from their past symposiums.
A little history on The AAW â€"
The AAW is the largest organization in the world dedicated to the advancement of woodturning. The AAW is comprised of 252 local chapters and boasts more than 12,000 members. The AAW’s mission is to provide education, information, and organization to those interested in woodturning--a branch of woodworking centered on using the lathe to shape wood. The results range from the familiar to the profound: everything from decorative and functional bowls, boxes, and vessels to furniture and architectural spindles, toys, tools, musical instruments, even sculptural art. Members of the AAW include professionals, amateurs, gallery owners, collectors, and wood and tool suppliers.
First to air will be the 2005 symposium that took place in Overland Park, Kansas. Highlights from this event will include video of master techniques from David Lancaster, Laurent Guillot, Anthony Harris, Bob Hawks, Michael Werner, Yoshinobu Kakizawa, Andre Martel, Phil Irons, Robert Rosand.
We encourage viewers who are interested in woodturning and are not members of the AAW to check out their website and consider becoming a member. You can find them here â€" www.woodturner.org. Also, think about attending this year’s symposium in Louisville, Kentucky from June 22-24, 2006.
The Woodworking Channel is thrilled to kick off our turning content with such a prestigious partner. We look forward to adding even more for woodturners in the coming months.
By the way if you’re reading this somewhere else or someone has forwarded this message to you, be sure to register yourself at www.thewoodworkingchannel.com. Registering is the only way you’ll get all the content updates and the latest information about the launch. And, if you haven’t already done so, be sure to check out the demonstration site to get a taste of what’s to come. The Woodworking Channel Demo Site
We will be back in touch soon with more developments.
Until then â€"
