~ The lathe is a classic wood shop tool; however, it takes a little more learning and practice to master than some other woodworking tools. Once you're comfortable on the lathe, it can be quite a relaxing tool to use. In this class, you will learn how to safely operate the lathe, in turn, helping you create your own small bowl. This will teach you the basics of chisel handling and chuck usage. A bowl blank will be provided and included in the cost!
~ Once certified, you can do a drop-in to use the tools ($10), or get a membership!
