Woodworker to Wood Turner

The woodworker was excited this week to attend a wood turning class. It seems there are some nationally known wood turners right here in our state who give classes! They learned about various turning tools and how to use them, then made eggs and bowls to practice their new found knowledge.



They only take 12 students per session. Each student has his or her own work station. Woodworker got himself a nifty new wood turning smock...complete with pockets in the back!



Demonstrations are set up so the students can watch the teacher directly or via the TV which allows for great visibility!



It was a 3 day class, but woodworker says he learned enough in just the first day alone to make the class worthwhile.

The last day of class they learned about making platters and turned boxes.
