Are there any women out there that know how to use a wood lathe?
I'm going to take a wood turning class to learn how to make wooden bowls, pens and various things. I don't have any friends that are into that kind of stuff and was wondering if it's easy to learn?
Thanks for sharing your experiences about wood lathes with me. I'm excited to get in there and do it now!
My Dad has a lathe and I quite enjoy playing with it. It's not difficult to learn, take the tool, place it on the wood and watch the wood shavings fly everywhere. I've never been able to make two turnings the same, so that table in the sun-porch has four different legs, and that set of salad bowls is a little funky, but I had fun making them. Wood turning isn't difficult and it can be fun. It's easier to use than a router and far less scary than a band saw. My kids picked up on it right away and they had no trouble making bowls and spindles and other projects.
