wood turners forums - opticsguy - 06-23-2018
I see little to no activity here in the tuners forum and am wondering where is the "best" forum for wood turners? Of course best is always relative . . .
Thank you.

I've been "on-line" (and woodworking ) for decades.
20 Years ago the place was rec.crafts.woodturning
10 Years ago it was this web-forum (along with a couple others)
Today, IMO it's various Facebook groups, Woodturners Around the World, WoodTurning, Wood Turning, Woodturning Connection to name a few (besides various "owners" groups like Vicmarc and Teknatool)

One thing to remember and which I do. If you do not post then others will say the same thing, but I try to make remarks or help others or just post a YouTube that I thing is interesting. So do some posting or showing what you make and so on and that will help make it poppen also.

I'm here and on Reddit. More experience here, more activity elsewhere.

I like this forum a bit more than others since I feel it’s a bit more friendly for beginners. Support here is good but other forums feel like it’s a bunch of old guys telling you don’t do this or that. That’s just my opinion. Other forums have great info but I tend to post here more.
