I am a beginner turner and have taken a few classes at the local woodcraft in Matthews. For a variety of different reasons, I just don't feel comfortable with my technique or how my tools have been sharpened. I am looking for some 1-1 private instruction over the course of a month or two (for example 1 day / week) so that I can ramp-up faster than learning through trial / error on my own.
I saw a post about classes being offered in Mooresville but it looks like the place is no longer there (invalid link): http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36616
Does anyone know of any good class or private 1-1 turning options in the Charlotte (or ideally Mooresville / Davidson area)?
I am mainly interested in learning how to turn bowls / hallow forms at this time. I am a pretty experienced woodworker and can build furniture, etc. without any major problems. For some reason, turning just has gotten the best of me which is a shame because I love doing it (just don't feel comfortable).
Please let me know your thoughts!
Thanks,
Mauricio Zamora (Mo)
