Wood Turning Lathe
S7HS
This course will consist of a
presentation covering the DATA standards followed by practical experience in the
use of a Harrison Graduate wood lathe. Delegates will then demonstrate
competence by manufacturing either a free turning exercise with a banksia nut or
a pen, followed by a bowl, made from one of a selection of domestic timbers such
as Sycamore, Lime, Beech or Ash.
