Training: Lathe (Wood)

Turning is a process in which angular workpieces are shaped into round, cylindrical, or conical forms.

In this training, you will learn how to properly and safely turn solid wood. You will discover how to prepare materials for turning, how to correctly adjust the individual parts of the lathe, and how to secure materials safely using various methods.

You will become familiar with three different turning techniques:

• Spindle turning, used to shape cylindrical objects such as furniture legs, handles, and pens.
• Faceplate turning, which allows you to create bowls, containers, vases, and lampshades.
• Copy turning, enabling precise replication of existing pieces or designs using a template.

You will learn why and how each part of the machine is used, as well as basic woodturning techniques and safety at work. During the training, you will also have the opportunity to practice turning yourself, preparing you for independent work on the lathe.

Suitable for beginners, you will learn why and how the different parts of the machine are used, as well as basic woodworking techniques and safety at work. For more advanced users who already have experience, you will learn about specific machines in the woodworking trade that will enable you to tackle more complex projects independently.

Training is suitable for participants aged 14 or older.
