Factory Two

Since the usual Open Lathe woodturning sessions on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays usually sell out, Factory Two is pleased to bring one of John's first students (Jerome, the smiling Teddy Bear on the right) on board to teach on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.

Jerome's skill on a lathe is terrific and explores new territory and options you might not expect from a skilled guitarist, composer and music producer.

If you enjoyed your sessions with John (the Hobbit on the left), give Jerome a try. You'll be glad you did.

Mark your calendars for the next Free Repair Day!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Cool collab opportunity! Stephen from Savage Village will be slinging ink; you bring a shirt or hoodie and customize with Factory Two, Local 432, or SV designs. No charge, drop in any time, free pizza at 1pm!

Another full house of five, including these four first time turners, lit up the wood shop Saturday. Making use of a new batch of glued up walnut, oak and cedar blanks, everyone went home with finished bowls and big smiles. Let's see AI do that for you!

If you’d like to start learning – and leave with your own hand-turned bowl – visit www.factorytwo.org/events and sign up for an upcoming Open Lathe session. No membership required.
