Finally got started on the bulk of the book project.

Had a bit of a nightmare week this week. Shipping problems and other things! Presented a super woodturning demo.

Welcome to another edition of Turner's Journey! This week, with almost no teaching to do, I keep myself busy with a heap of admin. You will also see prep for video making and a live demo turning a wild mango slice on a HUGE faceplate!

This week in June was a good week and a bad week in equal measure. In this new episode of Turners Journey discover some teaching days and heartbreaking news from the workshop. There's also a demonstration online and other musings around our little corner of the woodturning world.

Another busy week in and around the workshop with four demonstrations presented. One at Test Valley Turners, on Zoom for my book project, Cheam Woodturners and Dalmann Timber. On top of that, there was a two day course and the recording of a new video for YouTube.

Welcome back to Turner's Journey! In this exciting first episode of the new woodturning series, we’re diving headfirst into the world of beginner woodturning — ideal for hobbyists and enthusiasts to start or grow their passion for the lathe.

After 6 years, Turner’s Journey is back! In this heartfelt return episode, “Hello Again,” Martin shares why the series paused, what's changed, and what you can expect when the journey officially resumes in August 2025.
