Title: Introduction to turning
Description: In this class, you’ll learn the basics of Woodturning, including, lathe setup/use, Tool selection/use, wood preparation and selection as well as the basic cuts. By the end of the class, you should be able to select/prepare wood for turning, mount/secure the wood on the lathe, use the proper tools to make the proper cuts, and have a foundation for shaping and design.
These skills are meant to provide a foundation for spindle turning as used in furniture and other fine craft.
Please note that the Foundry has a growing collection of woodworking resources, including a woodturning lathe on long-term loan (many thanks to Paul for this). Thus, students who attend this class, pass a safety training test, and purchase a membership to our shop will have access to the lathe for further practice and personal projects.
