The Valley Woodturners is a Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). While it is not a requirement to have an AAW membership, there are many advantages, including access to a very extensive collection of videos at all levels on a wide range of subjects, all vetted for safety and quality (unlike many YouTube videos). Find out more about the AAW on their website https://www.woodturner.org. We highly recommend AAW membership.
