Course Overview

Experience the excitement of creating objects on the wood lathe and explore how this translates to the development of traditional hand tool techniques. This class will help students develop a strong foundation of proper technique at the lathe to produce work of a higher quality. We will explore fine tool control & proper body mechanics at the lathe, how to properly shape and sharpen tools, and most importantly the knowledge of the best skills to practice to lead you toward mastery. Students will leave with a variety of projects including rolling pins, footed bowls, and other items, plus a better developed ability to turn for consistency and quality as well as increased confidence as a maker.
