Skill Level: Intermediate Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Spindle Turning or some spindle-turning experience.Learn. Students will get a quick refresher in fundamental chisel and gouge spindle-cutting techniques, with the goal of developing an eye for making the desired shape. Using these techniques, turners learn how to cut wood efficiently, how to create smooth, accurate surfaces, and how to use the bevel gracefully to guide the knife edge along a smooth curve and why this technique allows such smooth tool control. Additionally, we will learn to cut a hollow in end-grain using both gouge and scraper. Make. Students will make at least one lidded box, sanded and finished with a quick oil finish.2 SESSIONS: Saturday & Sunday, December 28 & 29 | 9am - 5pm | Class will break for a 1/2 hour lunch.Cost: $425 non-members; $361.25 members (plus a $20 materials fee)What to Bring: Bring a bag lunch, or you may visit nearby downtown Brattleboro to purchase lunch.Partial and full scholarships are available.
