new to turning.

Hi Folks: I am new to the life of woodturning, and this is my first post here at the AAW Forums. I have been reading some of todays threads and have already noted some do's and don'ts. I was wondering if there are any chapters of the AAW in Ontario, Canada. Toronto\Mississauga area?

Thanks for any help you can give me and all the helpful hints i will be getting as I read your posts in the coming days and weeks.

Look up Woodchuckers in your local phone book, ask the owner. There is a turning group in the Toronto area and he can give you directions. There is also a large group in Burlington, The Golden Horseshoe Woodturning Guild I believe they are called..

Go to www.woodcentral.com and click on the Turning messageboard. Then ask this same question. There are quite a few canadians on that board and I'll bet one of them can tell you exactly where to go. They frequently tell me where to go but that's a whole nother story.
