This site was built by Brian Clifford over many years and features many articles, plans
and videos
that are of interest to novice and advanced woodturners alike. Brian has decided to
retire and was
going to allow the site to lapse; however, the WGO has
agreed to host it on his behalf to ensure this great resource continues to be available.

Here is Carl’s bio: Growing up on a large chicken farm, working with his hands
came naturally to Carl, instilling values of strong work ethic and respect for
all things natural. Creative instinct and desire for challenge led to the position
of Associate Director of a leading-edge computer software group
at the University of Waterloo. Carl now focuses that creative energy
and desire-to-learn to ever-increasing artistic endeavours across a wide
range of media, including wood, glass, metal, clay, and stone.
Carl lives in a tranquil country setting in Georgian Bluffs,
hemmed between the shores of Colpoy’s Bay and the Niagara Escarpment.
