About this event
EventBrite URL: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/252119595497/ So you want to make a bowl out of wood? You've come to the right place. By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to: Identify the appropriate wood orientation to make a "face grain" bowl Learn how to mount a bowl blank to the lathe using a face plate Turn a tenon on the bowl blank and prepare it to be mounted in a scroll chuck Shape the outside of the bowl Shape the inside of the bowl Remove the tenon using a "Jamb" chuck and chisel Understand how you would go about finishing your bowl (Subject to time constraints). Overall this session will focus on using a bowl gouge and performing a "push" cut to perform nearly every cut on the bowl blank. You'll also learn how to avoid "catches" with the bowl gouge. And as time permits, you'll learn how to recognize "tear out" and ways to address or avoid it to greatly reduce sanding time. In session one: You'll mount the bowl blank, turn the tenon, turn the outside shape and do a first-pass sanding. So by the the end of session 1 you'll have a bowl with the outside shaped and a tenon. In session two: You'll flip your bowl around, mount it in the scroll chuck, carve the inside, and give the inside a bit of sanding. Once you're done shaping the inside, you'll learn how to remove the tenon with a "jamb" chuck and a chisel.
