Wood lathe course in Torello

This 3-day course focuses on the operation of the wood lathe and all its elements, as well as learning how to use the working tools correctly. The trainee will enter into the world of cutting, shapes and textures, to acquire the knowledge and techniques that will allow them create pieces on the lathe. The artisan Jordi Pladevall will talk about the different working positions of each tool, and how it directly affects the way wood is cut and the artisan's own body. He will discuss which are the most ergonomic and versatile positions to use in front of the lathe. By the end, students will have acquired theoretical and practical knowledge in a pleasant environment surrounded by wood.

The private lathe classes offer students the possibility of working on specific aspects that they want to learn or improve, regardless of their level or previous knowledge. Optionally, they will have the opportunity to bring their material and tools to facilitate and simulate the work in their own workshop. According to their needs, a work plan will be made for the whole day of class.
