    Ends: April 25, 2026 - 2:00 pm


    Description:

    Curious about woodturning but not sure where to start? Join us for a free live demonstration with award-winning master turner Eli Polite and get an up-close look at the craft in action. You’ll see how raw wood is transformed on the lathe into elegant spindle shapes while Eli walks through the essential tools, techniques, and fundamentals that make it all possible. This relaxed, no-pressure session is the perfect way to watch the process, ask questions, and get a feel for the lathe before committing to a class. If it sparks your interest, Eli’s Introduction to Spindle Turning course offers a deeper, hands-on dive where you’ll build skills and create your own finished projects!

    See Eli’s instagram page @elipolite

    Just a quick note — this is a live demonstration, so you’ll be watching and learning rather than participating hands-on. It’s a great way to get a feel for the process before jumping in yourself!

    Picture framing at home seems like it should be simple, right? But why do the corners never seem to fit together perfectly unless done by a pro framing shop? We'll teach you how to build and use a jig for any home table saw that will create perfect home-made picture frames! We'll also teach you how to use a router table to create gorgeous custom frame profiles with two different profiles from which students can choose. Lastly, you'll learn with us techniques for creating stronger miter joints on your future personal projects like using biscuits or splines! Leave with a gorgeous 11x14 solid hardwood picture frame!
