Title: FREE Lathe Videos for the absolute beginner
Post by: wesdor on January 28, 2021, 03:59:33 PM
Our woodturning club has created 5 videos aimed at the entry level wood turner.  We identified several months ago that there was a need for this information.  Topics currently include:

1.  Introduction for the brand new woodturner
2.  Choosing a Wood Lathe (25 minutes)
3.  Wood lathe tolls for the beginner
4.  Sharpening Wood Lathe Tools
5.  Lathe Accessories for the beginner

They may all be viewed here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChT4SAd6rhAWXsu76aBJXFA)  on YouTube.  

If you take the time to check them out, what do you think should be more topics?

The demonstration for February 16 is "the Golden Mean and its application in woodturning"
The March 16 demo will cover "Spalting , what it is and how to do it"
