Course Description:
This course is an introduction to the more advanced techniques of spindle turning. While basic spindle turning is taught, the main emphasis will be micro-turning and duplicating without duplicators. The beginners will gain an understanding and familiarity with turning tools and their proper use. The more advanced students will learn how to turn tiny objects and create different shapes. Through practice, the students will be able to develop skills to create artistic pieces and reproduce them. The students will be turning mahogany, cherry, maple, and some exotic woods.

Time: 12 hours. Completion is likely if students work overtime.

Power Tools: table saw, lathe

Skill Level: Beginner and intermediate

Materials Fee: $35.00 to be collected at school. A Robert Sorby micro-turning tool set for $135–$150 will be available on request.
