About

The system you will learn in the class is applicable to many turning projects. During the first session, you will create a design, and then learn how to use a Ruth Niles mandrel to mount stock on the lathe. You will turn and sand this project, and select a finish for it. During the second session, you will turn and sand your second project, sand and learn how to apply finish and buff both, then mount the hardware.
