Garden Dibber 1 Hour Woodturning Taster Session April 5th 3.45PM-4.45PM

This one-hour woodturning taster session provides participants with an engaging introduction to the craft of woodturning, focusing on the creation of a garden dibber. A garden dibber is a practical tool used for planting seeds, bulbs, or seedlings by making precise holes in the soil. Its simple yet functional design makes it an essential companion for gardeners of all skill levels.

During the session, participants will be guided through the basic principles of woodturning, including safe practices and an overview of the lathe and its tools.

The process involves using different tools to form the handle and taper the shaft, creating a comfortable and effective gardening implement.

By the end of the session, participants will gain hands-on experience with the woodturning process, develop an appreciation for the craft, and leave with their own handmade dibber to take home. This course offers an opportunity to explore a traditional woodworking technique while creating something useful and rewarding.
