If you are a new turner or considering the purchase of a lathe or trying your hand at turning, this class will help you get started in the right direction. The first in a series by Dave Sanborn designed specifically for the new or prospective turners; this class will cover basic features and options available for the lathe itself as well as available accessories and tools. In the morning, Dave will demonstrate and discuss the basics of Conventional and Carbide tools; Spindle, Bowl, and Pen turning; and various accessories. In the afternoon, you will do some hands on exercises and make a Mallet that will be a valuable addition to your workshop. A 10% discount on most accessories and hand tools will be granted to each student the day of the class.
