Spindle Turning - Beyond The Basics
with Dave SanbornMonday, July 13, 2026, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
The second in a series taught by Dave Sanborn designed for the new or prospective turner. In the first class, we touched on the high points of both Spindle and Bowl (Face Plate) turning and used carbide tools to make a mallet. Today we will introduce you to Traditional/Conventional tools. We will begin the day discussing the basic fundamentals of Spindle Turning. Several mounting techniques; between centers, four jaw chucks, jam chucks, etc., will be discussed and demonstrated. Next we will learn how to sharpen the conventional spindle tools. We will move on to learning how to turn basic coves and beads and do exercises to gain confidence with a spindle gouge. Nothing brings pride to a woodworker more than making things to display in their own home, so we will spend the afternoon using the skills we learned in the morning to make a Bud Vase that you will be proud to have in your home. A 10% discount will be granted to each student on most lathe and hand tools and accessories purchased the day of the class.
