Woodturning Tuition
A full day’s tuition for a beginner would involve covering the basics of a Woodturning Lathe and the various aspects of safety that a turner would need to know. By the end of the day I would aim for the student to have tried both basic Spindle Turning and basic Bowl Turning, although the student may wish to alter this to fit in with his/her personal requirements. The students would be able to take home any items that they had made. Tea & coffee would be available and a light lunch would be provided.
I have three Woodturning lathes, a Jet 1642 with variable speed, a Record CL3 with 5 speed belt change and a small Fox Midi with 6 speed belt change. These are situated in a fairly large workshop in a converted barn, which is attached to the house. The workshop is equipped with various woodworking machines & tools of different types.
If you already have any woodturning tools it would be advisable to bring them along, with a view to looking at sharpening. I do, however, have enough for your use.
My fees are: £170 per day (approx 5 – 6hours)
£90 per half day (approx 3 hours)
