Learn to sharpen the tools you need to make spindles, bowls and other projects on the wood lathe.

This class is strongly recommended for anyone enrolled in Introduction to Wood Turning and is also open to wood turners of any skill level who want to learn to use the lathe tool sharpening equipment at BARN. The focus will be on gouges (spindle and bowl), but other tools can be discussed as time permits.

Details:

• You can bring one or two of your own tools to work on, or use BARN's tools.
  
• Short-sleeve or tight-cuff tops and close-toe and comfortable shoes are required.  No jewelry other than "button-type" earrings for women is allowed, so no rings, bracelets, necklaces. Long hair must be tied back.

Instructor: Jamie Straw  has been turning wood for about two years but has enjoyed teaching since she was 14 years old.  She is currently Vice President for  Education and Training for the local chapter of the American Woodturners Association. Her focus is on helping students, especially new turners, build skills progressively as they design and create fun woodturning projects.
