Designed for the novice turner, this class will introduce you to the wood lathe. Chris will take you step by step through machine set-up, tool safety and usage. No specific project will be completed, but the students will make a number of cuts while learning various tool techniques. Sharpening will be briefly covered.
Are you new to woodworking? Want to brush up on basic skills? The instructor will teach how to safely use the essential power tools in any woodshop. Students will learn how to set up cuts and operate a table saw, planer, jointer, band saw, miter saw, and drill press. These skills will be put into practice to create a charcuterie board which can proudly be shown off to family and friends. On day two go beyond the basics and create a beautiful slide top keepsake box! You will practice skills learned in order to gain confidence using essential power tools. Use this foundation to accomplish your woodworking project goals. Note: A $20 materials fee (cash or Venmo) will be collected by the instructor at time of class.
Ready to take your woodturning to the next level? Join us for a hands-on deep dive into laminated turning blanks. This intermediate class is perfect for turners with some lathe and bowl turning experience. You’ll learn to: choose wood species that glue well together, avoid common failure points in multi-wood blanks, compare laminated vs. solid wood strategies, safely cut and prep pieces on the miter saw, and finally glue, clamp, and laminate your bowl. We’ll turn blanks from the previous class, and yours will be turned in the next class—giving you the full start-to-finish experience. Previous turning experience is required. Note: a $20 materials fee (cash or Venmo) is payable to the instructor at the class.
