Class Fee: $420 | $35 Materials Kit Fee

Class format: In Studio

Prerequisites: All levels

So, you’re a jeweler or metalsmith about to be stranded on a desert island (for some inexplicable reason this island has, along with coconuts, electricity).  You can bring only one tool. What tool do you bring?
If you were Andy Cooperman you’d most likely bring your Flexible Shaft Machine.  Maybe the most versatile tool at the bench this champion of rotary tools is, for many, underutilized and poorly understood.
Here’s your chance to gain a deeper understanding of this marvelous tool and expand your vocabulary of flexible shaft techniques and applications.  This two-day version of the demo-only workshop will cover the basic machine itself–from the motor, down the shaft to the speed control and handpiece– and will discuss and demonstrate the use of burrs, bits, grinding, shaping, finishing and polishing aids: the stuff they didn’t teach you in school.
It Ain’t Just A Drill HANDS-ON  is a mix of demonstration and real-time experience, so expect to get your hands dirty exploring some of the techniques and tools addressed –and some eye-opening innovative tricks as well.
Please note: This is a sample-style class. While students will try many of the tools and techniques discussed, we will not be making a complete project.
