  • SPHERE / EGG

    SKILL BUILDING WORKSHOP

    Proficiency Level Required:  Intermediate

     

    In this skill building workshop, we will learn to turn spheres by hand/eye without an expensive sphere cutting jig. 

     

    These spheres and eggs will be turned  both between centers and with a four jaw chuck. 

    Outside calipers and a template will help aid turning accuracy. 

     

     A sphere cup chuck will be turned to hold  the sphere for finish turning/sanding. 

     

    Sanding and finishing options will be discussed. 

    Material Supplied:

    (2)   4" x 4"   6" long Poplar Blanks per student
    Multiple 2" x 2"   4" long poplar blanks per student
