weekend course

green woodworking - pole lathe making

On this two-day pole lathe course, tutor Tony Eames takes you through the basic construction of two pole lathe designs, with instruction in basic turning techniques on the last day (time dependent).

All tools, materials and safety equipment will be provided, and participants get to take away a pole lathe that they have made.
