![Inside My Woodturning Studio — Lathes, Chucks, Cameras & How I Teach
A full tour of my woodturning studio and teaching school at Four Marks, Hampshire — from my Bickmark VL300 lathe and chuck collection to the PTZ camera rig I use for live demonstrations and YouTube. If youve ever wondered what a professional working woodturning studio looks like, this is it.
I cover everything: my tool storage system (including 3D-printed wall-mounted holders from SK Crafts), the Hampshire Sheen finishes and airbrush setup on my workbench, the student lathes (Axminster 406s, Axminster 508, One-Way 2416, Nova Saturn), sharpening systems (CBN wheel + Wolverine jig, and the Robert Sorby Pro Edge for gouges), dust extraction, and PC Mission Control — where all the editing and live streaming happens.
The school runs courses for all levels, with Les Thorne joining me as a professional instructor with many years of experience. If youre looking for woodturning courses in Hampshire, details are on the website.
