Tim Yoder is best known as the Emmy Award–winning host of Woodturning Workshop, the PBS series that ran for four years and produced 65 episodes filled with turning projects, tips, and plenty of laughs. The show still airs nationwide, inspiring new turners with Tim’s approachable style and deep respect for the craft. Today, Tim hosts Woodturning with Tim on YouTube, where his channel features over 500 videos, 123,000 subscribers, and nearly 50 million views. His tutorials span everything from basic spindle work to advanced hollow forms, all delivered with clarity, humor, and honesty. Tim is also the creator of Tim’s Tools, a line of precision gauges, rulers, and center finders, and he manufactures the Elbo 2 Tool, the original articulated hollowing system trusted by turners for its control and versatility. What sets Tim apart is his ability to break down techniques so that beginners and seasoned turners alike walk away with something new. His workshops are packed with practical advice, memorable mantras—like “Sneak up on a bead” and “You can’t learn from perfect”—and a refreshing willingness to embrace mistakes as teaching moments.
