For The Newbies-

@AndrewB posted about learning to turn bowls. Member @Gerald was kind enough to locate a video from Stuart Batty on the subject. Reposting Gerald's link here-

 

 

Also, here's a video from Kent Weakley on the correct use of the bowl gouge-

 

 

 

Some great tips from Tim Yoder! Check out the one on turning speed.

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Do you do craft shows or just looking for some new ideas for turnings? Mike Peace has two neat turned "animals" that might interest you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Turning Items-

A couple of weeks ago, we posted a video from Todd Raines demonstrating the Robust "Tru-Arc" tool. Sam Angelo gives us his impression of the tool in this video-

 

 

 

Everything Else-

I did an Easy Wood Tools demonstration for The Catoctin Area Turners' club last Thursday in Leesburg, VA. I thought @Gerald would be interested in their Beads of Courage boxes shown during the show and tell portion of their meeting

Well the rolling pin blanks are finally finished- yesterday! The demo/workshop is this Saturday.

24 blanks here and 2 more at the workshop location. I make my blanks 22" long and 2 x 2" square. The lathes available for the workshop max out at 15" and 17" so angles had to be adjusted for a pleasing look when turned. Also some of the supplied blanks were smaller that 2 x 2 all that required different cutting angles.

Some blanks were larger (almost 3 x 3) and my jig for cutting the angles wouldn't let the saw blade reach a high enough point to cut the proper insert slots. Had to design another jig for those blanks.

 

Now on to Mimi's honey-do list that has been expanding exponentially!

 

 

Safe turning

Thanks Lew.  I like the turned owls and elephants.  Have to try some.
