UK Workshop Woodturning forum — if you've got a question you'll find plenty of help here More Woodturning Magazine is a monthly online magazine from the US - you can read a free sample edition before deciding to subscribe.

Alan’s Factory Outlet has a Guide to Wood Turning - this has a lot of Woodturning information including Basics, Techniques and Tools, a few of the links are not available.
