This workshop is designed for the beginner woodturner in mind but any experience level turner is welcome. Come experience the joy of wood turning as you learn the basics of turning wood on the wood lathe. By creating two projects you will get the full experience of basic skill to fine finishing.
The first project will be a Farm House Pillar Candle Stand giving you ample opportunity to feel how the knives work against the wood and adjust your hand as you go. You will have plenty of time to hone this skill before progressing to your second project, a choice of a finely finished ink pen kit or a seam ripper. Both will give you that finishing experience needed on a more fine tuned level. Complete turning tools and accessories will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own turning tools if desired.
Spending a day on the wood lathe is messy yet satisfying. Come join us in the sawdust and discover a new hidden talent or fine tune one you might already have. Please be advised to wear appropriate clothing and closed toed footwear. Aprons are not required but are welcome. A lunch break will be observed.
Wood lathe turning is a passion that Keith has followed with his father for years. It is his desire that every piece he creates is enjoyed by someone as much as he enjoys creating it. From one of a kind bowls, pens, sewing products, and everything he turns, he wishes it will be used, enjoyed, and shared. Keith is a retired school teacher, married with two grown sons. His wife, also a retired school teacher, enjoy their lives rambling around the country chasing his craft and camping. Traveling is his passion and his family too!
