Come join Bill, one of our sales associates, as he demonstrates how to turn a bowl and/or a platter outside the front of the store. This demo is the first of four outside demos that will take place on the first Saturday in the months of June, July, August, and September. There is no cost to attend this event so drop in between the hours of 11-1.
The router has a reputation as being a tool that is mostly used by advanced woodworkers, but this is not the case. Properly used, the router can be the most useful tool in your arsenal. This class is designed to introduce you to the many ways this tool is used, from edge jointing to edge decorating to dadoing and rabbiting, as well as sign making. Properly jigged, the router can also be used for flattening and thicknessing lumber and even cutting holes and disks. There will also be some discussion about router tables. Bring your safety glasses, ear plugs, your own router (so Joe can see what you have to work with), and be prepared to learn about the scope and versatility of this most useful tool.
In this class, we will take a comprehensive look at the process of turning a bowl. We will discuss methods of roughing out, mounting with chucks, turning, and finishing a bowl. Any and all questions during this process are welcomed. We will turn a small bowl using spur and live centers, chucks, and a friction drive. We will do our turning with traditional turning tools.
Spindle turning is a great way to get started with your turning experience.There are so many things one can make with spindle techniques; it would be difficult to name them all but examples include baseball bats, scoops, canes, pool cues, candle sticks, and even porch columns, to name a few. In this class, one will learn to safely use the lathe and roughing and spindle tools. We will practice techniques that are applicable to almost any spindle project. We are open to any questions regarding equipment capabilities, tool techniques, wood harvesting and properties, and finally finishing possibilities. The student will learn a lot. Dust masks are recommended, eye protection and fun are mandatory.
