Experienced students will be able to work independently on self-selected projects. Students will need to purchase personal safety equipment and a few personal tools.

Students will provide their own tools, safety gear, and materials. Your instructor will review tools, materials, and supply needs with you on the first day of class. Wood kits provided by Wilmington Woodturners Association. Estimated initial cost of tools and materials: $100.00+.
