Chapter 1. Woodturning Explained

The crafting of objects from different materials is an inseparable part of the technological progress and the life of people. There are some crafts that are more specific than others. Woodturning is a type of woodworking, but it uses crafting methods that are fundamentally from ancient times. You should definitely learn about this unique craft.

What is woodturning?

Woodturning involves the spinning movement of the wood which is shaped with special tools and the use of a stationary tool called a lathe. A lathe resembles a motorized table with legs. A number of tools which perform different functions are applied to the wood. In this way the piece is cut, shaped, drilled, sanded or knurled. Generally, you can make any sort of object with the use of a lathe.

The early craftsmen used lathes and woodturning techniques to create objects for home use such as bowls. It is interesting to note that the first tool of this type was invented in the 14th century BC by the Ancient Egyptians. Improved versions of the lathe came into use in the Middle Ages.

During the industrial revolution the tool was motorized, which made it even more functional and easy to use. With the growing of mass production woodturning became the main manufacturing process in a lot of industries. The techniques were used for the production of parts for wooden furniture from legs and stretchers to fine ornaments. Wooden pencils and pens were also made with the use of motorized lathes. Various other objects such as chess pieces and musical instruments were produced in this way as well.

In fact, these wooden objects are still manufactured with lathes. The only difference is that the tools used for commercial mass production today are totally automated and are operated with the use of computers. The human involvement in the actual woodturning has become completely obsolete. However, this is not so for the hobbyist. You can use a motorized lathe to make all sort of functional and decorative objects by hand. You can even turn your hobby into a business since the original, unique and personalized items crafted in this way are highly valued.
