In this hands-on class, Alan will take students through the process of making several woodturning tools/accessories and two bowl-turning jigs. Specific projects will include making at least four of the following: awls, interchangeable tool handles, several variations of hook-type tools, a thin-kerf parting tool, and a chatter tool. Alan will demonstrate both hot and cold methods of making these items, using only the lathe and a drill press. He will also cover steel/material selection and, where applicable, heat-treating methods for high-carbon steel. In addition, Alan will demonstrate step by step two types of jigs that are extremely valuable to the bowl turner.
