Hey, everyone.
I'm a high school senior this year, taking an introductory shop class. As a professional woodworker for nearly five years (geez, that long?) this class has little to offer me, excepting the JET JWL-1015 wood lathe.
My instructor and I drew up a compromise; I would be allowed to do all the lathe work that I wanted, as long as I taught the unit on woodturning to the class.
I drew up a slideshow to present (as well as having a physical piece of classwork to turn in) covering the basics of the lathe, general safety information, and specifics of pen turning.
Bear in mind that I will be explaining many of these points in person, and reviewing most of the techniques hands-on.
I wanted to put this information before the group, to get any criticisms, and ideas that are relevant to include.
Here's the link to google slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1TSKS17Z1n8KQxko-rcWdF5EA0CriFBNHcw2qG96zVrI/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks a bunch,
Randy
