In this introductory course, students will learn how to turn a small wooden bowl, including how to use roughing and bowl gouges. Once the bowl is turned, we will use the rose engine to add ornamentation to the bowl. We will introduce sharpening techniques, tool safety, proper posture, and several methods of material removal. We will also touch on sanding and finishing techniques, how to avoid torn grain, and how to mount blanks safety to a lathe. The tools involved are the band saw, drill press, low-speed grinder, lathe, and rose engine.
