The Central Coast Woodturners Co-op is a not for profit organisation. The Club was formed in 1985 by a small group of enthusiasts, to promote the art of woodturning and related crafts (such as scroll sawing, wood carving, pyrography and toy making).
Central Coast Woodturners is a group of volunteers who generously provide their time, skills and expertise to allow others to develop skills. A key feature of CCWT is the friendly and supportive atmosphere where all members are encouraged to participate and produce wonderful pieces made from wood. Enquiries from prospective members are always welcome.
CCWT is now open at our new workshop located in the premises previously occupied by Ourimbah Guides at 8 Ourimbah Creek Road, Ourimbah from 8am ~ 12pm on Monday, Friday and Saturday.
Our Official Opening was held on Thursday 21st March 2024. A great day was enjoyed by all.

New Members are always welcome. To see our club in operation, visit, ask questions and see if you would like to be involved in the wonderful skills on offer.

Central Coast Wood Turners is extremely grateful to Bunnings Tuggerah for the opportunity to hold regular BBQ's at their store.
All CCWT members who freely volunteer their time on the day find it a very rewarding experience.

We are so grateful for Bulls Pickup and Removals,who were very supportive in our transition between premises. They were on time, efficient, took care with all equipment and were pleasant as they undertook the moving process. We could recommend these guys for all the care they put into their work.

Carrolls Timber and Building Supplies, located at the corner of Chelmsford Road and Pacific Highway in Charmhaven have generously donated pine offcuts which are being used by members and new members to practice the very important skills of wood turning, in particular spindle turning with an emphasis on turning of beads and coves and also utilising the correct techniques with tools and gouges. We thank Carrolls for their wonderful support and trust that you would also support them if you are in need of building materials or supplies for your projects.

MakeAClock was founded in 1977 by John Wells who migrated from the UK to Australia. Originally, John imported the famous Kieninger (oldest manufacturer of mechanical clock movements) but since being taken over some remaining stock is available at excellent prices.
Due to the quality of their imported components, Make A Clock movements are known for their quality and reliability. The products are popular with schools, craft groups, individuals and those who want to get a clock running again.
John has since retired and passed his business onto his son and daughter-in-law. Only recently (March 2025), Jenny visited and showed some of the impressive array of components to Board members of Central Coast Wood Turners. Make A Clock is a family owned business operating out of Hamilton, Newcastle and as such they provide a friendly and personal service.
