This class will cover basic lathe operations for spindle turning.

The instructor will outline the steps involved in preparing spindle blanks, how to safely fix your piece on the lathe, some of the major tools involved in wood turning, and making basic cuts with the various gouges.

Class attendees will then get hands-on practice with these tools through making a simple spindle.

Successful completion of this course will qualify you to use the Lathe independently for spindle turning at LMS.
