Class on carving resin on a lathe?

I am looking to do a class on carving expoxy resin on the wood shop lathe, so as to gather and share information. Would anyone wish to take class on carving resin on a lathe?

I combined the 2 topics into a single post. I can see you were thinking that putting 1 in woodshop category and 1 in resin category might garner more views, and I see your logic, but in practice, just 1 tends to get better responses as most folks read all the new posts in the “Latest” feed. :+1:

I’d take this class. I need to get lathe 101 done though. I audited it but haven’t officially taken it.

sorry is there way to put one message as having the two attributes? the categories tend to act as attributes to the conversation.

@jast See message above ^ that was mistakenly a reply to me.

Not that I’m aware of.
As stated, generally our readers get prickly when a single topic is “spammed” to multiple categories, despite the attributes this brings to the conversation, because we tend to read from the “latest” feed.

Chances are I’ll do one late January and another in February. It’s a 2 parter and runs about $30-35 in materials depending on how good a deal I can get on the burl cap.

I think if you hold down the alt key you can select more options. I asked this question when trying to tag a posting with both the committee meeting choice and the actual committee/SIG.

Ideally, this would have been posted in the Interest Check category as gauging interest for prospective classes is the express purpose for that category.

I’m using alumilite for woodworking (Slow), and by the time you factor in shipping and tax, its about $1 per oz of resin. The blanks are a hybrid of maple burl and resin, so the cost of resin per blank is about $18 and then the cut of maple burl cap runs $1-2 per square inch depending on price at that time (and the project uses about 9 sq inches per egg).
