Goblets—How To Turn
ATTENTION! You must be checked-off on the lathes before taking this class. Preferably, you will have taken the How To Turn a Wood Bowl class to learn basic hollowing.
THIS IS A TWO-PART CLASS.
Turning endgrain hollow forms from wood, such as goblets, involves learning a series of turning techniques, including hollowing endgrain, scraping vs cutting on the bevel, safe workholding in a chuck, spindle turning, and understanding wood grain.
In the first class, students will turn the bowl of the goblet to learn how to advance through the process—evaluate the wood, round the blank, cut a tenon to mount the spindle in a chuck, hollow the bowl of the goblet and possibly begin shaping the outside of the goblet.
The second class will cover shaping the outside of the goblet (without creating a funnel), shaping the stem and foot of the goblet, and parting off the final vessel,. Finishing will be discussed in relation to the intended purpose of the goblet, and whether a student opts to turn green or kiln-dried lumber.
Part One Thursday, Jan 16, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Part Two Thursday, Jan 23, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Maximum four students per class
.
Cost: $135.
Refunds available before Jan 12.
You’ll be using the wood lathes and both HSS and carbide turning tools.
This class is open to woodturners interested in advancing their turning skills. If a student already has turning tools, please clear them with me before class—gouges should be sharpened before use.
Kids 10 and up ok if they are truly interested in woodturning, but under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Closed toe shoes are required. Long hair must be pulled back. No exceptions.
The class meets in the Woodturning area outside of the Woodshop where the wood lathes are located.
Non-members, please arrive at least 5 minutes before class. Our buildlings are locked 24/7 and you’ll need to be let inside. As this is a 2 day class, refunds will be available 48 hours before the first class only. Please arrive on time.
