West Sussex Woodturners at Amberley Working Museum
The Woodturners at Amberley Working Museum provide visitors with the possibility of seeing a range of traditional wood-working tools and skills in active use.
Staffed by a group of members of the West Sussex Woodturners Club, the Woodturners Hut is home to numerous historic woodturning lathes, associated tools and equipment, including a heavy duty Victorian bandsaw. There is also a very modern woodturning lathe.
The West Sussex Woodturners, like so many people at Amberley, are volunteers who passionately believe in preserving the industrial heritage and culture of the South-East. Their work at Amberley (and occasionally at other venues such as Wakehurst Place), ensures that once widespread but now largely abandoned craft skills are remembered and passed on to future generations.
