WTL-R100: Wood Lathe Red Tool (11/17/2026)

Tue, 17 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Woodturning is a fun, absorbing activity. Once you learn the basics of turning, you’ll want to develop your skills with the lathe. This sign-off class is necessary to use the lathe independently and a prerequisite for future woodturning project classes.

This course at is NOT a project class, but focuses on spindle turning.

The class will focus on the following:

Lathe safety
Equipment care
Hands-on usage of high speed steel (H.S.S)

Roughing gouge

Spindle gouge

Parting tool5

Brief sharpening demo (additional sharpening class needed)

You won’t become an expert with one course, but I hope you will (re)discover that turning is fun and adds a new dimension to your portfolio of woodworking skills.

No prerequisites to fulfill prior to this class, but it is important to follow these safety requirements: Wear closed-toed shoes, short sleeves, and eye protection (bring yours or use ours).

We will meet in the woodturning shop at the Leesburg location.

Optional (we have some you can use if needed): Hearing protection, particle filter, or dust mask.
