If you identify as a furniture maker and have a desire to push your work further by learning woodturning, then this is the class for you! By starting with the basics: “What is a lathe? What tools do I need?” “How do I sharpen my tools?” students will dive into spindle turning techniques learning how to turn beads, coves, and pleasing forms. Advancing your skills, students will learn how to cut clean pommels, size turned tenons, and sand/finish on the lathe. Away from the lathe, students will learn techniques of turned joinery, duplication, and discuss how to drill and cut joinery on round surfaces. These skills will be applied to a class project that will help reinforce proper turning techniques and assembly of turned furniture!
