How we built the video system

In the spring of 2024, thanks to the generosity of our members and the following sponsors, we were able to invest in a streaming video solution that allows you to see exactly what the demonstrator is doing in high resolution from three camera angles. We archive our meeting demonstrations on YouTube so that we can share the expertise of our members/demonstrators with the turning community at large.

Editorial Comment – This site was created in 2012 and has been updated in “bits and drabs” during the subsequent years.  The re-emergence of a newsletter, The Woodshed, in early 2023 presented an opportunity to pursue a significant reorganization of the site.  The primary purpose of the “new” site is to focus on contemporary activities while maintaining a connection to the organization’s history (see Archive).

The Indiana County Woodturners Association is proud to be a Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.
