Introduction to Traditional Wood Turning Course.
1) A warm welcome and brew of your choice, starting the course at a reasonable 10am.
2) Followed by a brief safety chat and an opportunity to ask questions.
3) The day will start with the selection of wood and then it's preparation prior to turning on the treadle lathe. This will involve the use of a "froe" (splitting tool); hand axe; drawknife and shave horse.
4) You will then be instructed in the basic turning techniques that you will require to create a "dibber" or simple project of your choice.
5) Finish around 3pm with a summary of the day and an opportunity to ask any further questions over a cuppa of your choice.
6) The emphasis on the day is enjoyment. Plus gaining a new skill in a relaxed enviroment, with the hope that you will want to continue to keep this style of wood turning alive and well.
