All you learn the first three days will come to the fore in this class. Friday class is making tops from OSS grain wood. Student outcomes desired from this week are to prepare the student to turn wood safely and enjoy the activity. Students need to bring safety glasses or safety shield. Those who want to wear a turning smock should bring that to the class.
