About This Workshop
Prepare for a fun weekend of high-octane lathe textures finished off with a sit-down carving session. The weekend will start turning a shallow bowl, and then adding textures to it with various power tools, all while the lathe is running. Angle grinders, texturing tools, and the most fun, chainsaws! Don’t worry, safety is a giant component to learning this process. After the form is turned and textured, a carved detail will finish the sculpture. Finally participants will make the sliding dovetail mount to hang it anywhere on a wall that is appropriate.
Key Points
- Learning how to use new tools in exciting ways
- Texturing on the lathe with a chainsaw (safely!!)
- Learn basics of power carving and how to increase control while doing it
- Learn the basics of pyrography/burn carving and how to make burning tips
- Make a sliding dovetail mount for hanging all sorts of projects
