About

Welcome to my woodturning channel! I am also a beginner CNC and laser user. I want to share my experiences and learning with you. I hope you enjoy my projects and that you find inspiration in my videos. I would love to hear from you in the comments.

Video Description

These 7 Christmas woodturning projects are perfect for beginners — simple, beautiful, and made entirely on the lathe! Each project is shown in full from start to finish, with plenty of tips you can use on your own woodturning journey. From ornaments and trees to gift ideas, there’s something here for every skill level. These were filmed over several Christmas seasons, and it’s fun to see how much my process and skills have evolved. I hope this video inspires you to try turning your own decorations this year — and that woodturning brings you as much joy as it does for me.
