Workshop – Learn to Use the Skew Chisel to Make a Harry Potter Style Wand

The proper use of a skew chisel is one of the fundamental skills that all woodturners should master.  Optimally, this should be one of the first skills addressed in learning the craft because a good, fundamental understanding of the skew chisel translates into other areas of woodturning and to the use of other tools.  Yet, many experienced woodturners shy away from using the skew.  This workshop should therefore be of interest to those new to the craft, to the experienced woodturner who has not yet mastered the skew, and even those who have used the skew successfully but need a refresher.  The newly acquired skill will be utilized to turn a Harry Potter style wand.  So, come and join us for a workshop that should be a great learning experience as well as a lot of fun.  This is a continuation of the workshop started following the April demonstration by John Jordan and a fee will be required for this workshop to partially offset John’s travel and living expenses and the costs of the supplies used during the workshop.  The fee does not apply to those who paid for the April workshop but only to new registrants.  We are not providing a lunch option for this workshop, but take-out lunch will be ordered for those interested at the time, or feel free to bring lunch.  The workshop is limited to a maximum of 10 active SPW club members including those registered for the April workshop and spots will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Here’s how to register and pay your workshop fee, which covers class supplies and helps offset travel costs for John Jordan’s demonstration and workshop support in April.

Cost $30.00 per person (materials included)

Lunch – on your own, order take-out or bring your own
