You’ll learn:

  • The mathematics behind determining the proper offset for locating the piece on the lathe
  • About the reasonably small number of lathe tools required to create offset turnings
  • How to safely work with a turning that requires awkward shapes
  • And much more!

With just a few simple tips and techniques, offset turning can quickly become a valuable skill in your woodworking arsenal.
