Offering a different experience than what George had with his turning class with Alan Leland. ( See post for complete details )
Since I couldn't make Woodguy's bottlestopper class, I signed up for the bottlestopper class, instructed by Alan Leland, at the Raleigh Woodcraft.
There was 2 other turners in the class with no experience. I rate myself right next to them in terms of experience, been turning just a few short months.
I'll have to admit, I had a different experience. Alan had patience, and taught us newbies with great passion. George is right though, there are alot of techniques that must be practiced.
I was a little early, and the other students were late. So as a bonus, Alan taught me how to sharpen my super dull tools.
I'll plan on taking more classes as I can find the time.
Just thought I'd offer my experiences.
