This area will show live streams when they are ‘live’. Any scheduled live stream will be posted here prior to going live. Typically, they will also be simulcast to my Facebook page and to my YouTube channel.
Face Grain Series
This set of live streams will be all about face grain turning, for the most part. Since the last series, Small Project Series, ended up being 90% side grain or spindle turning, I thought it would be nice to do a series on face grain turning. So here is the schedule.
- Jan 22 – Face Grain Orientation Basics
- Jan 29 – Face Grain Tools – the Bowl Gouge
- Feb 5 – Simple Bowl
- Feb12 – Thin Bowl
- Feb 19 – Twice Turned Bowl
- Feb 26 – Square Bowl
- Mar 5 – Platter
- Mar12 – Rim Decorated Bowl
