I just took lathe basics and noticed that there were a couple bowl making classes that are full. Any possibility someone could do another?
Hi Daniel, I’ll try to get one up in early April - Week nights work for you? I generally schedule a 6PM - 10 PM time slot.
Added two turning classes March 29 @ 6PM to make a 6 in 1 Screwdriver on the lathe, and a bowl class on April 5th @ 6 PM - Tagging @Bri_Gearhart and @olejkodf for the bowl class.

Thanks! It’s not letting me register though. I guess the fact that I took the basics class hasn’t hit the system yet?
Hi Daniel, when did you take the lathe basics class? And who was the instructor? We can check and see if AD rights were assigned.
I am also having the same issue. I took lathe basics on 3/9/22 with Christopher Vrana.
I would love to see another lathe basics class. I really want to sign up for the bowl class on April 5, but haven’t done lathe basics yet.
Hi Andrew - We will get one up.
@cvrana - Chris - Any plans for another Lathe Basics soon? Let’s touch base today and see what we can do?

Greetings!!
I am working on a project for my community, it’s for a religious purpose, making a palanquin which I wish to donate to the community. It was my first day on 03/19 and managed to work with hand tools. Attached.( took me 6 hrs to make the cuts and chisel work )
I am making something like this ( just a reference )
Since this is for a temple, I am working on a deadline of 4th April. ( celebration on 9th April ).
Earnestly looking for help in getting me onboarded with the power tools as soon as possible.
Appreciate!

Hello everyone!
I’m a returning member to the DMS after a long hiatus, and I would like to get back into pen turning and other small roundwork projects. Does anyone offer training on the smaller lathes?
Thank you.
Andy
FYI - there is an open spot at tonight’s Woodshop Basics Class.
