Turning a Box with Hand Chased Threads

with Alan Leland

Saturday, June 13, 2026, 9 AM - 4 PM

Unlock the secrets of a timeless woodturning tradition! This class focuses on the art of hand-chased threads—a truly rewarding technique that elevates your turned pieces with professional precision and unmatched craftsmanship. I’ll share my favorite tips and tricks to make threading a lid feel approachable, fun, and incredibly satisfying. The secret is all in the rhythm! We’ll dive into mastering the perfect movement to match your lathe’s speed. While 250–300 RPM is the sweet spot, I’ll even show you how I’ve successfully chased threads at 450 RPM, proving that you can achieve great results on almost any setup. Plus, you’ll see my step-by-step process for turning a gorgeous lidded box and learn exactly how to sharpen and fine-tune your tools for peak performance. Let’s turn hand-chasing into your new favorite lathe skill!
