About

Design and make a hand-held inertia sander for sanding the outsides of bowls, or, with the spinning pad removed, spindle projects.

Your sander will be powered by the spinning wood and become a power sander much like an electric or pneumatic sander, but will be more gentle and easier to control. They're exceptionally useful and versatile.

Details

A $10 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers everything you'll need including wood and hardware.

Prerequisites

Intro to Woodturning, or equivalent spindle-turning skills. If you haven't taken the BARN class, contact Jamie Straw at wood.turning@bainbridgebarn.org for a skills review and approval at least 14 days before class.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
Instructor
Tim Larson

Tim started turning wood in May of 2020 and rapidly fell in love with all aspects of woodturning. He turns everything from tops to bowls, balustrades, boxes, and mini-goblets and excels in multi-axis turning and use of a skew and a French bedan. He also makes and sells custom bass guitars, the necks of which are turned on a lathe. He is the former president of OPCAAW, a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturning; has taught woodturning classes for more than three years; and currently serves as a mentor and vice president of training and education. He feels fortunate that, as a videographer for AAW, he has had unique access to some of the best woodturning artists in the world.
