Turning bangle bracelets are fun and easy! Barry will show you everything you need to know and then some on making unique and stunning bangle bracelets; from the raw wood to a finished product in just a short weekend. Material selection will be discussed; do you use acrylics, wood or a combination of wood and acrylic? All these materials will be thoroughly reviewed. How to stabilize your own bangle bracelet blanks will be demonstrated and the students will have a solid understanding on how to make their own blanks from material of their choosing by stabilizing the blanks themselves!

Using a four jawed chuck and turning the blank is easy and fun (that is actually the shortest part of making a bangle bracelet).

By the end of the weekend, each student will have made a minimum of two different bangle bracelets with emphasis on quality of fit and finish.

Key Points:

  • Learn how to stabilize your own bangle bracelet blanks
  • Achieve a perfect CA glue finish on the bangle bracelet
  • Learn the best way to finish acrylics
  • Learn how to use a four jawed chuck

This weekend class is being held at Marc Adams School of Woodworking near Indianapolis, IN
