You&#x27;ve come to the right place.By the end of this workshop, you&#x27;ll be able to: <ul><li>Identify the appropriate wood orientation to make a &quot;face grain&quot; bowl</li><li>Learn how to mount a bowl blank to the lathe using a face plate</li><li>Turn a tenon on the bowl blank and prepare it to be mounted in a scroll chuck</li><li>Shape the outside of the bowl</li><li>Shape the inside of the bowl </li><li>Remove the tenon using a &quot;Jamb&quot; chuck and chisel</li><li>Understand how you would go about finishing your bowl (Subject to time constraints).</li></ul>Overall this session will focus on using a bowl gouge and performing a &quot;push&quot; cut to perform nearly every cut on the bowl blank. You&#x27;ll also learn how to avoid &quot;catches&quot; with the bowl gouge. And as time permits, you&#x27;ll learn how to recognize &quot;tear out&quot; and ways to address or avoid it to greatly reduce sanding time.In this class: You&#x27;ll mount the bowl blank, turn the tenon, turn the outside shape and do a first-pass sanding. You&#x27;ll next flip your bowl around, mount it in the scroll chuck, carve the inside, and give the inside a bit of sanding. Once you&#x27;re done shaping the inside, you&#x27;ll learn how to remove the tenon with a &quot;jamb&quot; chuck and a chisel.Recommended equipment: Technocopia will provide you with a bowl blank, a face shield and a sharp bowl gouge. However, we recommend that you wear a shirt with short sleeves (no longer than your forearm). If you have a wood turning smock with a neck closure, bring that along. (It keeps the wood chips out of your clothes). <h3>Additional Information</h3><ul><li>Please visit https://technocopia.org/directions for more information about getting to and parking around Technocopia.</li><li>For this course, students are required to have already successfully completed Wood Turning 1 at Technocopia or received equivalent certification.</li><li>If you already have wood turning experience, Email pictures of some of your more recent projects to mark.durrenberger@technocopia.org and you might be able skip Woodturning 1.</li><li>Successful completion of this course will result in certification of Technocopia members to free use of the tools directly covered in the course.
