Planning the job
Selection of timbers.
Stock Preparation

Workshop Safety:
The carpentry workshop is a potentially dangerous place.
Clothing
Participants should wear suitable footwear and clothing.
Wood turning generates a considerable amount of wood shavings, fibrous
particles and dust. Dust coats, aprons and headwear are good outer
garments for wood turning.
Eye, Ear and Breath protection.
Some safety gear will be provided. Participants who bring their own
protection will be appreciated. Goggles, Earplugs, Earmuffs and
Dustmasks are good to bring if you have them.
If you are interested, Please book your place using the contact details
below. Numbers are limited to those who wish to get their hands
dirty. Everyone will be free to take home as much sawdust as they like.
If you have timber you've been saving with a turning project in mind,
then by all means bring it, but this is not essential. There will be
enough timber on hand for everyone to have a go at something,
but we may not have the perfect piece for you dream project.
