Notes from Clead Christiansen's Beginning Woodturning Class

From 11 to 13 April 2001, the Beginning Woodturning class at Craft Supplies in Provo, Utah was taught by Clead Christiansen. These are notes I took. I do not guarantee them as to accuracy nor completeness. They are expressed as I wish and Clead isn't responsible for anything I say here.
