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.
The second class will be held on the same evening in two weeks time.
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 (10/24), 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Part Two (10/31), 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Maximum four students per class
Cost: $135
This class is open to Bodgery members interested in advancing their turning skills as well as the general public. Kids 10 and up ok if they are truly interested in woodturning, but under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
You’ll be using the wood lathes, HSS and carbide turning tools. If a student already has turning tools, please clear them with me before class—tools must be sharpened before use.

The class meets in the “Woodturning” part of the Shop where the wood lathes are located.
