Workshop Overview:
Participants will learn the ins and outs of making turned wooden pens. The mentors will first cover the equipment, tools, and fixtures needed to make pens, including the pen kits themselves, related costs and where they can be purchased. The participants will then start at the very beginning, going through all the steps needed to make and assemble the pen blanks in preparation for setting up at the lathe to turn them. Because some of these steps require time for glues to set, fully assembled blanks will also be provided so that the participants can then go directly to the lathe and begin turning. Once the blanks have been turned and a finish has been applied, they will then assemble the pens. It is anticipated that each participant will make two pens to take with them, plus they will have the blanks that they assembled earlier and an additional pen kit to take with them to complete at another time. All materials and tools are provided. Lunch will be at noon and extra turning time will be available after lunch to finish projects if needed.
Cost: $35 (materials included).
Optional Lunch: $10 (homemade Italian roast beef with sides).
