Got pics of the weekend woodturners club meeting and thought y’all might be interested.He did the tops totally using a skew. Forgot to tell ya demonstrator was Matt Monaco.

 

 

 

 

The hands on Friday was on using a skew. By the way the tops do work and the second one he could spin upside down.

Wow!! Those are neat.

 

I  looked at his Instagram page, he sure turns dome awesome bowls. So Thin!!!

Nice skew work. When I was pres of our club I talked to him about visiting. For one reason or another it never happened. Did you like his demo? Did he do a workshop day?

Took us two years to get him here. Demo was great . He did the skew and tops in the morning , afternoon was the bowl. Yes we did a hands on . Had 14 sign up with 11 lathes. Will wear dust mask and have flow thru ventilation if we do that again. Just spindles created a black yard bag full of shavings.

The first top looks too tall to spin.  Pretty cool.  I like the skew and can handle it pretty well but a piece with all that detail would be hard to do without a goof up somewhere.
