Give the gift of experience with this highly demanded class! The class is designed for a full day of turning. In the morning you turn a pen and the afternoon you turn a bowl. Pen Turning Description: You can make the great looking pens like the ones found in fine gift shops. Learn the tips and techniques that produce excellent results every time. You will be shown how to cut, drill, square the ends, turn, sand, apply a durable finish quickly and assemble the parts. You start with a raw piece of wood, a pen kit with hardware, a Lathe and by the end of class you have a beautiful, functional piece of woodworking that you did yourself. Learn the fundamentals of creating a pen starting with wood selection, tool selection and proper lathe techniques ending with finishing. Soon you will be making GIFTS for all your friends and loved ones. Bowl Turning Description: Each student will turn a bowl. Wood blanks will be mounted and the outside shaped. The blank will then be reversed to turn away the tenon. Students will practice the cuts appropriate for shaping and smoothing the inside and outside using carbide tipped turning tools. At the end of class students should be able to turn a bowl on their own. This is a comprehensive 6.5 hour class with a 30 minute lunch break. All class participants receive a 15% discount on merchandise purchased in the store on the same day as their class. Exclusions apply. Ages 14-17 welcome with supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Personal protective equipment will be provided in the event you do not have your own. All materials included. You will leave this class with 1 pen and 1 bowl.
