Training is a good service provided by the AWGB. I know a lot of turners who would love to advance into new techniques and this service provides them.

All of us can learn from other turners no matter what level you may be at, i know i am still learning new techniques after 30+ years, the day i say i have no more to learn is the day i walk away from the lathe.
