Lathe Techniques: Shearing Beads

Learning to shear on the lathe takes a good bit of time and a whole lot of practice, but you’ll love what you can do once you’ve mastered the lathe technique. George Vondriska teaches you that shearing is something you have to commit to, it can’t be done halfway. Bead shearing is an excellent woodworking skill to perfect because it makes your spindles look great and reduces the amount of sanding you’ll have to do on your next project.
