About Our Club
Back in 2020, when the covid pandemic had closed woodturning clubs around the world, Martin Saban-Smith decided to start a new club, based online in the Zoom environment meeting twice a month for an affordable fee.
Hosting a monthly demonstration from a professional turner based somewhere in the world, and a second meeting to relax and chat, the idea of Woodturning360 was born.
Since then, club members have enjoyed over 100 demonstrations and meetings on Zoom and has professional and hobby members from the UK (including Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Scotland and Wales), Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Germany, France, Switzerland, the USA and Canada.
