Over 30 years experience working at the lathe underline Chris Pouncy’s reputation as a master of his trade. Nineteen of those years have also been spent demonstrating turning techniques on behalf of Robert Sorby, Sheffield, UK based manufacturers of all manner of top quality tooling and accessories for turners, carvers and woodworkers in general.

Chris has been travelling to Australia for over five years to share his knowledge on turning in presentations which cover aspects of tool selection and usage, lathe operation and safe practices. In particular, the essential skill of sharpening is a focal point. This year, due to popularity, the schedule has been extended to run at 24 venues in all states of Australia.

Chris Pouncy’s 2019 tour will once again be presented by Carbatec. Dates and venues are listed below. These demonstrations are free to attend. Note: attendees are well advised to confirm dates and times with their local Carbatec store or the venue host  beforehand.
