Woodturning Boxes Class

Woodturning boxes on a lathe is an absolute joy for those with a bit of turning experience.

On these Sunday classes with a maximum of TWO students, Martin will guide you through the process of making attractive boxes (lidded pots) from 3” timber.

Throughout the session, Martin will guide you through:

  • Proper tool selection for turning boxes.

  • Turning all the parts required for your box.

  • Back-hollowing and Male jam-chucking techniques.

  • Decorating your box and if there's time adding extra detail to the piece.

With the class running from 10am, we will meet by the garden centre tills fora  quick meet and greet before heading to the workshop to get started.

Due to the timings, lunch is not included on this class so please bring a packed lunch with you.

Please Note: Some experience of woodturning is required for this course.
