...with Norm Abram

Turning how-to video: Lathe 101 by Norm Abram 5_bulb Review this video!

Lathe 101 is the first in a series of programs planned over the next several seasons of The New Yankee Workshop featuring the skills required to master a single shop tool. In this first installment, Norm tackles the wood lathe and shows the basic techniques necessary to learn spindle turning, showing several examples of lathes and the tools required to achieve professional results. A self-taught turner himself, Norm then turns a regulation sized baseball bat and even gets a member of the current Red Sox baseball team to try it out in Fenway Park. You’ll see the results and you’ll learn how to improve your lathe skills on this long awaited program.

I have never done any woodturning and have only seen it done in junior high wood shop too many years ago. Now I'm wanting to turn baseball bats with my son. The section on bat making was very informative and now I can't wait to try it myself.
