Course #2236 Woodturning 1 (Beginner)

This is a highly structured beginner course that teaches all the basics. It is designed for those who either do not have any tools so that they can see if they like it before investing, or for those who have the interest but have had no formal instruction and thus may be frustrated with trying to read the books to learn. There is a project, a three legged stool, and we turn a green wood bowl as a class on the last night. (15 hours of instruction in five 3-hour sessions on Wednesday evenings 7-10pm).
