Sharpening Turning Tools

Sunday, November 17, 2 PM - 5 PM

I'm not sure who originally said it, but it still holds true today. A turner is only as good as his/her sharpening skills. Yes, our Bowl Turning 101 touches on sharpening; however, we are hoping that since this class is limited to 3 students, it will allow for more in depth and personalized instruction. Our goal is to help each student understand things like the different types of steel used in turning gouges, the different types of equipment used to ensure positive and repeatable results, the different types of grinds for the different tools in our tool roll, and other tips and tricks related to sharp turning tools. This course is targeted at relatively new turners, or those that just don't think they are getting the most out of the tools they've already acquired. Our aim for this three hour hands-on course is to spend about 25% of the class time in a lecture/question/demo format coupled with the remaining time being spent sharpening your tools. If you own your own tools and already have (or are considering purchasing) the Oneway Wolverine jig and a slow speed grinder, this class is for you. You will need your own high speed steel tools that include a bowl gouge, a spindle gouge, a spindle roughing gouge, a skew, a parting tool, and a scraper.

This class is designed for beginners who want to learn how to safely use the core tools of the wood shop. During the first half of the class, we will focus on how to properly flatten and size lumber using the table saw, jointer, and planer. Once the material is flat and square, we will discuss glue up methods as we join the material to create a cutting board. The second half of the class will focus on safely using the router and router table to shape the board and apply a decorative edge. Students will leave with a completed cutting board and a great foundation for starting their woodworking journey!
