Sharpening Turning Tools - CLS066 with Steve Elliott
All
Prerequisite: Wood Turning Fund. I or II
Class Size: 1-2
Description: I'm not sure who originally said it, but it still holds true today. A turner is only as good as his/her sharpening skills. Yes, our Turning Fundamentals series touches on sharpening; however, we are hoping that this class will devote a little more ono-on-one (actually 2 on 1) time to allow the student more time to understand things like the different types of steel used in turning gouges, the different types of equipment used to ensure positive and repeatable results, the different types of grinds for the different tools in our tool roll, and other tips and tricks related to sharp turning tools.This course is targeted at relatively new turners, or those that just don't think they are getting the most out of the tools they've already acquired. Our aim for this three hour hands-on course is to spend about 25% of the class time in a lecture/question/demo format coupled with the remaining time being spent sharpening your tools.If you own your own tools and already have (or are considering purchasing) the Oneway Wolverine jig and a slow speed grinder, this class is for you.You will need your own high speed steel tools that include a bowl gouge, a spindle gouge, a spindle roughing gouge, a skew, a parting tool, and a scraper.

Class Size: 1-2
Description: I'm not sure who originally said it, but it still holds true today. A turner is only as good as his/her sharpening skills. Yes, our Turning Fundamentals series touches on sharpening; however, we are hoping that this class will devote a little more ono-on-one (actually 2 on 1) time to allow the student more time to understand things like the different types of steel used in turning gouges, the different types of equipment used to ensure positive and repeatable results, the different types of grinds for the different tools in our tool roll, and other tips and tricks related to sharp turning tools.This course is targeted at relatively new turners, or those that just don't think they are getting the most out of the tools they've already acquired. Our aim for this three hour hands-on course is to spend about 25% of the class time in a lecture/question/demo format coupled with the remaining time being spent sharpening your tools.If you own your own tools and already have (or are considering purchasing) the Oneway Wolverine jig and a slow speed grinder, this class is for you.You will need your own high speed steel tools that include a bowl gouge, a spindle gouge, a spindle roughing gouge, a skew, a parting tool, and a scraper.
