Woodturning and Facebook

[GLENN THOMAS]

Does anyone here use facebook on a regular basis? I did a search on facebook for Woodturning and found several pages and it looks like there are more woodturners out there than I had ever imagined. If you havn't looked at facebook as a resource give it a try.

Glenn, in my ongoing efforts to become a recluse, I have avoided all social networking sites! I do suspect you are right, however, and that there is another world out there I may never know about.

I set up a "Group" so I can keep some of my friends/family in the loop with the new stuff I make.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I joined recently only after being prodded by a lot of family members.

I am on Facebook but dont post much of anything, other than a comment after someone else post something interesting (rarely). The only woodturning groups I am part of are Woodturning Design Magazine and Nova Woodworking. I don't think that any of my "friends" from here are on my Facebook list but it doesn't matter because everyone has access to my email, PM's, phone number and home address.

I'm on Facebook almost every day, I have about 350 woodturner friends and love it when they post what their working on.

[Scott Hackler]

Lol. My wife reminded me that I DO have a page just for my turnings. I just don't keep the post up very frequently. I have a hard enough time keeping up posting pictures here and a couple other forums/sites.

I've been posting more pictures lately because of my Android phone, it's very easy just to do a quick share, also I have an account on my website that I just email the photo to and it posts it to my facebook. This is real easy since I belong to 5 turning clubs and take photos & video.

im on fb everyday and i have a folder for my woodturnings though i rarely update it. Then again im 21 and having a social live without facebook can be a challenge.

[Bob Bergstrom]

We put our club on Facebook, It has helped us communicate with each other, post pictures of events, latest pieces, and a good way to discuss problems and bragging rights.

[David E Keller]

What's facebook?

I'm only kidding, but I've not taken the plunge. I don't find my life interesting enough to share with others, and the lives of others are even less interesting to me. I didn't know there were woodturning groups, but even that's not enough to draw me in at this point.

[jeff schnell]

I haven't tried to put our clubs on Facebook yet but I did create a Yahoo group for each one and thought they might use the messages and file areas but they haven't. Also a lot of people didn't like having to create a yahoo or keep forgetting their login in information for Yahoo so that why I also use Posterous for all of my clubs so each of them can see what's going on and other people around the world follow my pictures their too. I don't claim I'm a photographer or videographer but I do take photo for the newsletters and the people that can't always make the meetings. My Posterous account also posts the pictures on facebook which is real nice.

[Nathan Hawkes]

I am definitely on Facebook every day. I got the new profile set up, and sent my "like" invites to everyone, but I don't know how to sync my *hundreds* of pictures from my personal facebook page to the woodturning page without going through and individually loading each one. HELP! Anyone know how to do this?

[Jeff Myroup]

I am on FB everyday. I have my personal page, and a page for the shop/studio. I also set up our club page. I have generated the majority of my sales through FB.

[Jim Burr]

I'm on FB everyday...but I'm a gamer. But I also post most of my stuff there too. My wife and sister post their beaded jewelery as well
