Taming the Skew with Hal Simmons 05/01/19

Wednesday, May 1, 2019 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm
Class Size: 8
Hands-On Workshop

When woodturners think of using the skew, two terms come to mind - fear and fascination. Fear comes from what appear to be inevitable catches or dig-ins, and fascination comes from the fact that the tool is so versatile and will produce the best cuts of any woodturning tool.

This class will focus on overcoming the fear factor by understanding how a catch or dig-in is produced and how to prevent it. The focus on fascination will come from learning how to produce planing cuts, v-cuts, end-grain/straight or perpendicular cuts and beads. Some prior use of turning tools will be helpful, but is not required.
