Discover the skills of pre-industrial woodworking & turn your own round object!
About this Event

The spring pole lathe is a foot powered lathe for turning round components. In this short workshop, participants will get an introduction to the tools and techniques of turning. We will learn about how to control the tools to make clean cuts and create a round object. Everyone has their own lathe and basic turning tools to work with.

We will start with an octagonal billet and turn it into a round, with the intention to make a wooden belay pin, like those used on the traditionally rigged boats and tall ships. Participants can choose to make a belay pin to take home or any other round object like a rolling pin, porridge spurtle, wooden mallet or garden dibber.

This workshop is brought to you as part of the 2025 Australian Wooden Boat Festival held 7-10 February, 2025.
