Hi, I’m Paul Willmore — a passionate woodworker, woodturner, and content creator.

My journey into the maker world started with a deep love for woodworking. Whether it's turning a blank on the lathe, working magic with a scroll saw, carving detail with a router, or simply shaping wood into something meaningful — this craft has truly become part of who I am.

I’m completely self-taught, having learned most of what I know from the incredible maker community on YouTube. Watching and learning from others sparked something in me, and in 2014, I decided to share my own journey. That’s when I launched my first YouTube channel: My Woodworking World. Over the past few years, the name evolved to Paul Willmore’s World of Wood, and now, it reflects both my growth as a maker and the wide variety of projects I create today.

This has been more than just a hobby — it's a lifelong passion. I’ve learned so much along the way, and I can honestly say that I’ll never stop learning. One of the best parts of this journey has been connecting with amazing makers from all over the world. Their creativity, support, and enthusiasm continue to inspire me every day.

The best decision I ever made was rediscovering what I truly love at just 16 years old. Since then, I’ve never looked back.

So, I invite you to join me. Follow along as I keep building, experimenting, and growing — and hopefully inspire you to pick up a tool and start creating too.

Got a question? Want to chat or offer feedback? Don’t hesitate to reach out. And always remember: safety first — follow manufacturer guidelines and protect yourself so you can keep making for years to come.

Let’s build something awesome together.

— Paul Willmore
