Detailed description

A small dedicated space, a lathe, a few tools, and you are ready to make your first turned objects. Woodturning is a very attractive activity, but many people still don't dare to take the plunge, believing that they will not be able to master the movements.

Here, no guide, ruler or template: you hold the handle! This is the difficulty, it is true. But that's also where the fun comes from. You are in direct contact with the wood, you feel the material vibrate and you see the forms being born under your eyes. A gesture is like everything: it can be learned, and above all it has to be worked on. This special issue was designed to help you take the plunge! Our approach is technical, and aims to answer all the questions of the beginner.
