The following are links to the web sites of some woodturning-related suppliers and service providers.
Woodturning Hartlepool
This is the website of one of our club members, Dennis Wake. Dennis is rapidly gaining a reputation for his excellent work, some of which you can see on his gallery page.
Dennis has just started up a woodturning business in Hartlepool. He has set up a well fitted out workshop unit in Hartlepool and is offering woodturning instruction courses and is building up a stock of consumables for sale.
In October 2021 Dennis qualified as an RPT (Registered Professional Turner) and resigned from his full day job to become a full time turner and instructor. Our club extends our congratulations and best wishes.
