About this event
Instructor - Max Eskin
Max is an Artisans Asylum veteran, who has dabbled in most of the skills practiced at the Asylum, but focusing on machining and metalworking techniques.
Class Description
This is a course for students who have already begun to use the metal lathe but want to delve specifically into its ability to cut threads. The threading function on the lathe is one of its most advanced features. Once you master it, you will be able to cut any size and shape thread in most materials.
Material Fee
The materials fee for this class is $10. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments in cash, or through Venmo or Paypal.
