Discover the Craft of Woodturning

Unleash your creativity, learn new skills, and join a supportive community of craftspeople and artisans!

Who We Are:
A Community for Woodturning Enthusiasts

Discover the joy of woodturning with Finger Lakes Woodturners (FLWT), a vibrant and welcoming community for craftsmen and artisans of all skill levels. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned expert, FLWT offers engaging workshops, events, and a network of passionate members to inspire and enhance your craft.

Monthly Meetings

We meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (except for special occasions, which will be announced on our website). Your first visit is free. If you would like to visit, let us know on the Contact Us page.

Open Shops

Every week we host one or more Open Shop sessions where members can work on one of our 10 full size lathes, use any of our host of tools, and practice any technique they like. It is also a great time to connect with a mentor to learn a new skill.

Discounts

FLWT members enjoy discounts from different vendors - a benefit that also pays back much more than our modest membership fee.

 John D.  "Finger Lakes Woodturners has reignited my passion for woodworking! The workshops are incredible."
 Andy M. "The workshop was very informative and I learned new techniques and processes for turning in the future. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciated all the additional volunteers who constantly circulated among the turners. And the top notch lathes and all necessary tools and all the wood."

Lisa M. "The best part of this group is the supportive community. I’ve learned so much!"
 Bill L. "The skill level of the FLWT mentors is impressive; I've learned a lot in a hurry. And the tools are very impressive."


Amy S. "I just wanted to send out an email to let you know how excited <our son> was to be able to meet you guys in person today. I swear to God this is more exciting than Christmas. Thank you for being a huge supporter of my 14-year-old’s interests! He loves this club!!!"
