Students in the Turn, Baby, Turn! Winterim have started working on the lathe, experimenting with cutting scrap wood before they move on to each of their projects. Types of projects range from a wooden goblet to a baseball bat. Lathe work consists of putting a sharp tool against a spinning piece of wood and slowly taking off layers of wood in order to shape the wood the way you want it.
Lathe work requires a delicate touch and a sharp eye for detail. Students will learn how to create hand crafted and high quality works that they can use everyday. We will see later on how their projects turn out and how much they have learned about lathe work.
