The power tools you'll use in this class include the miter saw, band saw, table saw, jointer, and planer.
This is a great opportunity for a Parent and Child to take a class on Lathe Turning! In this class, each will make a pen for Dad, and one for the Child. Devon Palmer will walk you through the steps for each pen. You will cut the blanks, drill holes for the brass tubes, glue them in place, trim and flatten the ends, mount on the lathe, turn the blanks down to the bushings, sand and put a durable finish on the blanks and then assemble the pen! Once you turn a pen, you will be able to do one on your own, if you have the tools. Children should be at least 8 years old.
In this hands-on class, students will learn how to create a stunning epoxy river coffee table from start to finish.
