Project 8: The Spurtle Set (Wood Turning Course)
An ideal introduction to wood turning, with all the materials
and advice you need to make various wooden items using traditional woodworking
techniques.
The self build wooden furniture making kit for the spurtle
set allows you to learn traditional wood turning techniques and skills. Our self
assembly kit contains all the pre-cut wood you need to complete this
traditional Scottish spurtle set, which includes a wooden spurtle, rolling pin,
bread board and egg cups. A comprehensive colour manual with step by step
instructions is provided along with the self assembly kit.
The spurtle set project manual provides an introduction to
wood turning by way of ‘turning out’ some basic domestic items in hardwood.
Pine can be turned but these kitchen tools will have a heavy work load; by the
way, for best results pine ought to be turned at high speeds (2500—4500 revs
upwards!).
When
ordering your spurtle set kit, we recommend that you choose from beech, lime or
sycamore as these are close grained timbers traditionally used for wood
turning. |
