MSWG Mentor Program

To become a club mentor, contact the MSWG President.

Whether you're a beginner or a more experienced turner, whether you need an all-day session or 20 minutes' worth of pointers, our MSWG mentors are here to help you. 

 

You will be surprised what you can learn by just visiting a mentor's shop/work studio and looking around.

​

Example – One member was ready to upgrade his lathe and shop but before starting he visited with 8 of MSWG's mentors. You can only imagine what he learned and the mistakes he avoided.

​

If you would like advice on selecting the best mentor for your subject, please contact the club President or Vice President.
