Wood Lathe Badge

May 13, 2023 @ 10:00 am 2:00 pm

Embark on learning the centuries-old craft of woodturning. Initially, a craft born out of necessity, using a lathe has gained tremendous popularity as a hobby over the last 50 years. Develop an understanding of how to safely operate a lathe while building wood grain knowledge in this beginner-friendly workshop. This is a satisfying craft and one where you can create things you’ll actually use!

What you’ll learn:

  • Parts of the lathe
  • Lathe tools (including how to keep them sharp)
  • Mounting of the wood stock
  • Lathe speeds for different size stock
  • Hand & tool positioning
  • Wood grain considerations

Please Note:

Workshop attendees must be properly outfitted to attend this course. This includes closed-toed shoes, no loose clothing or accessories, and hair tied back.

Safety equipment, including protective glasses and hearing protection, is provided; however, you can bring your own.
