Introduction To The Wood Lathe

with Dave Anderson

Saturday, November 16, 10 AM - 4 PM

This class is for the brand new woodturner and those for whom any association with the lathe may have been many years ago. It is also for those who have recently acquired a lathe or those who are anticipating purchasing one. We will introduce you to the basics of woodturning, the medium we use (wood), some of the things you can do on the lathe, which lathe might be best for you, and how to use it safely. You will be told about all of those other things you will need but nobody told you about - tools, grinders, chucks, drills, sandpaper, finishes, etc. Some of these (turning tools for instance) are a necessity, while others are desirable options. We will cover some basic sharpening techniques using a roughing gouge for our demonstration. Time permitting and how well you grasp a few basic tool techniques, you will be guided through making a simple project that you can take home and use. (All materials are included) (CLS311)
