Lathe Certification

Have you taken a turning class (or have other experience) and want to work independently on our community lathes? Schedule an appointment to get certified.

This is a test, not a class. You'll need to demonstrate an understanding of how to operate and set up the lathe, best practices for safe turning, and proper use of the tools and how to sharpen them.

When using the lathes, you must bring your own set of carving tools. Chucks, spindles, and other materials are available for your use.

Level: Advanced beginner and up
