Learn To Turn -- Full Day Of Turning - CLS146

with Vincent Costa

Saturday, July 6, 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM

This 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, ones that are as unique as those available 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 then assemble the parts. You start with a raw piece of wood, a pen kit with hardware, a Mini 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 from wood selection, tool selection and proper lathe techniques to finishing. Soon you will be making pens for all your friends. Bowl Turning Description: Each student will turn a bowl. Blanks will be mounted and the outside shaped including a tenon. The blank will be reversed and held in a chuck while the inside is hollowed and smoothed. The blank is finally reversed to turn away the tenon. Students will practice the cuts appropriate for shaping and smoothing the inside and outside using a bowl gouge and a scraper. At the end of class students should be able to turn a bowl on their own.

Turning Green Wood -- CLS022

with Ken Burton

Tuesday, July 9, 1 AM - 4 PM

What turner doesn’t like free wood? It is usually as available as the nearest landscaping job. The catch is that it is quite often “green”—still full of water from when the tree was alive. In this fun, hand-on class students will have the opportunity to turn several bowls from green wood to learn how it differs from dry wood. We’ll discuss how to store blanks until you have a chance to deal with them, techniques for drying the bowls after turning, and harvesting logs for use.
