This week's featured turner is new member Handy Dan. Dan has shown some of his work in various posts and I hope he doesn't mind if I re-post it here. 

 

Dan recently made a slew of Yo-Yo's for a family reunion-

He also turned some really neat pill totes-

 

He explained the process here- http://thepatriotwoodworker.com/topic/17476-pill-totes/

 

I think it must be Christmas all year long at Dan's house judging from the ornaments he turns-

I received a message from "Handy Dan" about a new video from Frank Howarth. We have re-posted Frank's work before. Not only are his projects super cool, his stop action filming is spectacular. In this video, Frank turns a segmented bowl but takes it to the next level by using a CNC machine to create cloud inlays.

 

 

 

In the beginning of the video, check out the jig Frank uses to create the segments. Here's a video of the commercial version-

 

 

 

Members Dan and Terry discussed this sled/jig recently. You can read  what they had to say, here-

Safe Turning!

 

 

Dan is very inventive with parts and pieces of items he finds.

So true, so true

Good information. Dan and I have "known" each other for a few years now. I enjoy seeing his work and am always amazed when he does so many pieces, so well, so quickly.

Man I love those Yo Yo's. That is such a neat idea for a family reunion. 

 

Very nice work Dan on all it!

Thanks everyone.  Franks videos are very entertaining and there are a lot of them.  Check out his channel and enjoy.
