About this Event
This class will focus on turning a CrushGrind Peppermill (or Saltmill). This is a fun project that combines both Art and Practical use.
Target Audience
Turners with recent turning experience. You will need to know how to turn a blank round, make a tenon to size and use beads and coves to achieve your desired shape.
If you are new to turning, I encourage you to take my Introduction to Spindle Turning (Series) to become familiar with the Tools and how to use them.
Provided Materials:
- All wood, tools, kits, sanding and finishing supplies
- Tools, Chucks, Drill bits
- Turning smocks
- Face shields
Material Fee:
A $50 Material Fee (Cash) will be collected at the beginning of Class. This will cover the Wood, CrushGrind kit, Sanding and Finishing Supplies.
What you need to bring:
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Clothes you can get grubby in – Woodturning can be a bit dusty!
- Close-toed shoes (just in case we drop a gouge)
- Long hair tied back (you really don’t want to have it caught up while the lathe is spinning)
- No loose long sleeves or dangly jewelry
- Notepad
- Material Fee
