This is your chance to see one of the world’s best known woodworkers in action using the tools he uses day to day. Join the crowd and watch Richard as he explains exactly what goes into creating a work of art on a wood-lathe.
In each demonstration Richard will talk about shaping and sharpening tools, and show you how a range of tools and chucks can be used to best advantage. You’ll also learn about safety around the lathe, and about design, form and function. No matter what your level of expertise, you can learn heaps watching this master woodturner in action. If you have a woodturning problem or want advice about getting started, between the formal demonstrations you can meet Richard who will be there to answer your questions, demonstrate specific techniques, or sign copies of his books. |
