An Introduction to Woodworking & Woodturning
Whether you turned your hand to baking banana bread, gardening or workouts in your living room, we’ve all had our fill of lockdown hobbies. But if you’re looking for something new to fill the time, your mind and your hands, woodwork, or woodturning could be the answer to getting your creative juices flowing.
If the initial seed of an idea of woodwork has only just been sown, woodworking is the craft of making things out of wood: be it cabinets, furniture or instruments using a tool to create cuts. Woodturning is a dynamic branch of woodwork that uses rotation to form a symmetrical shape from the wood like table legs, bowls or Christmas ornaments while the cutter remains relatively stationary.
