Woodturning and Facebook

[Richard Madden]

I've heard of it, but never looked for it. Doubt that I ever will.

[Steve Vaughan]

I'm on all the time because of my job, as a way to remain connected with my folks (I'm a pastor). So, I'll usually post all my new turnings as a the latest photo album. That's most all my pics though I put a few other things on there. Get's lots of comments and if I were serious, could probably sell most everything that way.

[Dale Bright]

I have a Facebook page and I have some pics of some turnings on it. I also have a slide show of turnings on my page along with a link to my web site.

I have not joined any turning groups, yet, and I do not post there very often.

I'm on daily and post pics of my woodturning there for friends. I've made some very beneficial contacts on FB. It's a good tool just don't put anything personal up there.

[Jack Gaskins]

Who has time for FaceBook, If Im not at work then Im at the lathe trying to get all the sanding scratches out of my bowl!

[Steve Mellott]

I'm not on Facebook and I still don't know that much about it, but more and more businesses are using it to market and sell their products. Our woodworking club has just created a Facebook Page and we expect that we will recruit several new members through it.

Glenn, in my ongoing efforts to become a recluse, I have avoided all social networking sites!

My sentiments, exactly!

[Michael James]

I refuse! I have a cell phone that is basically call out - off in the p.m. It takes lousy pictures and I pay as I go. It has no apps that I'm aware of, nor am I interested in any of that. People keep telling me I can text with it and I tell them no. Don't check my email with it either.
btw I have a landline and will until the day I'm gone.

I'm on facebook. I keep in contact with my family and church family through the medium. I post pictures of my work. Part of keeping up with the family. But I don't FB for selling or grouping with woodturners.

[Harry Robinette]

I'm with John
I don't have the time for more then my lathe and 3 forums.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Joined Facebook a few months back as a way of staying in touch with the kids and grandkids. Only recently started adding photos of my turnings and that was so the kids can see them. If you're not a member here at SMC - you don't get to see the everyday photos of all the great work and this was just one way of sharing a little of what I do.

For some of us, too much info in the public realm causes safety issues . . . Facebook puts too much out there.

[Bernie Weishapl]

I am on FB but mainly to keep up with the family. Can keep track of my 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Funny part is they won't e-mail but sure as heck will comment on FB. Go figure.

[Mark Hubl]

I am on Facebook, it's a good place to find old friends and keep in touch with the family. I don't post much there and find it a clunky environment. I see that more and more folks are there and friending, but I like this type of environment for socializing. If I am looking for company or artist info I hit the real websites. I suppose it is part of the culture, but how many electronic repositories and diaries can one need. I am getting to be an old fxxt and still believe that privacy is a big chunk of important. Not so important for me now, but some of the twenty somethings are going to look back and go "what was I thinking".

[Bill Hunt]

I'm with John also, I'm kinda of a semi recluse but I'm working on it.

You only have to be good at one of two things, planting in the spring or begging in the fall
