Workshops
Would you like to learn the art of woodturning? Would you like to make something that reminds you of your childhood?
During this 4-hour workshop, we’ll cover the basics of woodturning by making a yoyo from wood sourced from the circular economy, to the delight of young and old alike! Making a yoyo is ideal for those who like meticulousness and precision.
You’ll learn all about the wood lathe, its functions and associated tools, such as shaping/profiling tools and calipers.
We’ll then take a look at the basic techniques of interlock turning and the various stages involved in making an object: precision measuring, assembling the mechanism, sanding on the lathe and preparing the piece for finishing.
Yoyo diameter: approx. 2 ½ – 3 inches in diameter
Skills required: none, everyone is welcome.
Price includes all necessary materials, pro tips and unlimited swarf!
