Introduction to Woodturning and Lathe Check-Off
This is an introductory class that will begin with a safety overview and discuss the mechanics of the lathes, work holding, preparing turning blanks, wood properties, turning tools and when to use them, and a general overview of the process before students begin turning. Students will turn a handle for a kitchen tool (selected from the assortment available at The Bodgery) using both high speed steel and carbide turning tools. Students will be checked off on operating all four of the available wood lathes at the end of class.
Class Fee: $75 ($65 for the class, $10 for the turning kit)
Maximum four students per class.
You’ll be using the wood lathes, carbide and HHS tools.
This class is open to anyone interested in learning to turn as well as Bodgery members who would like to be checked off on operating all five of the wood lathes. Kids 10 and up ok, but under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
If a student already has turning tools, please clear them with me before class. If a student already has a turning kit, please also clear it with me before class to make sure there is an appropriate turning blank on hand. Please note that sharpening high speed steel tools and more complex projects (such as bowls, goblets and segmented turning) will be covered in future classes.
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.
Refunds provided only before or on 8/5 only. Please arrive on time. Students arriving 15 minutes or more late will not be allowed in class or refunded.
