Students will be allocated their own lathe and tools for the duration of the course to produce a number of test pieces and projects that may be kept for future reference. what you will learn The course content includes many aspects of woodturning and introduces you to turning tools, equipment and accessories, including grinding equipment and tool sharpening. Techniques demonstrated include between centre work, beads, coves, fillets, and face plate turning as well as the use of screw chucks and 4 jaw self-centering chucks.
