spindle turning.
Production turner Les Thorne presents the spindle turning part of this refresher.
In this section, Les reminds you of the basic cuts in spindle turning: The V-Cut, Bead and Cove. This section also includes a reminder of the tools used – The Spindle Roughing Gouge, Spindle Gouge and Parting Tool.
Plus! See a demonstration of a super practice piece not learned on the course.
Bowl turning.
Martin Saban-Smith is primarily a bowl and ‘face plate’ work turner, and he presents the refresher videos on Bowl Turning.
You will primarily be reminded of the use of the Bowl Gouge, but you will also see how the Parting Tool and Skew Chisel can be used for different parts of the bowl.
The videos include the balancing of the blank, cutting the recess, shaping and hollowing of your bowl.
Finishing.
No finishing instructions are included in these refreshers as they are covered in our excellent (and free!) Hampshire Sheen Finishing Academy. However, we have included a longer video from the Academy on sanding your work.
