Very honored and excited. I got a call from our local Woodcraft today asking me if I would be willing to teach bowl turning classes. Of course I said yes. It was a surprise because I have never talked to them about it before.

Now don't be eating all of the candy for tomorrow night's Trick or Treaters!! Our Patriot Turners- @Masonsailor posted a follow up on his turning class. His students turned some tool handles and a segmented bowl! Check out Paul's additional information and more images here- @Gordon is working on some of that silver maple he scored! He has a beautiful blank on his lathe and gave us a peek at how it's going- See more images and comments here- From OFF the lathe and finished, a "Wave Bowl" in cherry and walnut. The design concept is from John Beaver. What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration For The Newbies- @Ron Altier makes knitting/crocheting needles for his Mrs. If you know a quilter, Alan Stratton shows us how to turn a quilting tool. Great project for practicing your spindle turning! A close up view of using some of the typical woodturning tool, Tomislav Tomasic. This might be helpful to the beginning turner to be able to see just how the cutting edges interact with the wood being turned. Cute Christmas ornament from Mike Peace- Expand Your Horizons- Jimmy Clewes is a world renowned turning instructor and many of us would love to be able to attend one of his courses. Well, Popular Woodworking has done the next best thing. They have paired with Mr. Clewes to create a video course. Click on the image below to the registration site and more information! "Electrified" Christmas ornament form Carl Jacobson- New Turning Items- From Ron Brown, more information on his "Bowl From A Board" tool- Everything Else- Last week @Gordon asked a question about the variations in his bowl wall thickness. Several of our members gave possible reasons for this. Just happens that I had the same thing happen to me, yesterday, when turning a sycamore bowl. I was doing the second turning and had sanded and finished the outside. Had gotten started on the inside. I was giving extra thickness to the walls to allow some waste as the wood was quite soft and needed stabilized. I used some shellac and CA to strengthen the wood and would turn away any staining to reach the final thickness. As it so often happens, an "emergency" showed up at the front door. By the time I got back to the lathe, the bowl blank had warped. The blank had been dried to moisture equilibrium. Turning it to the final thickness caused the rim to have thinner areas. If I hadn't put finish on the outside, I could have touched up both the outside and inside to correct the problem, but alas, I'm lazy. Moral- don't stop half way through! Safe turning

May favorite magazine/book of which I am a subscriber, has produced yet another wonderful class, this class "Skills Over Jigs" leads the student to cut the umbilical cord with hand tool jigs, sharpening jigs, dovetail jigs, etc. I have purchased a few of the M&T video classes on DVD, and loved them, this class is on video and the price is right. Link to the class page is: Skills Over Jigs If you do purchase the class please report back to us how it went! From my previous experience with their other courses, I don't think you'll be disappointed Here is the trailer that just dropped.

A handmade Windsor chair is the most comfortable wooden dining, kitchen or casual chair there is. At Windsor Heritage, I make both traditional and contemporary Windsor chairs by hand using 18th century tools and craftsmanship. I modify the the dimensions, the style of the turnings and the design to meet the needs of my clients. My Windsor chairs can be found in homes in Canada, the United States and England. I also give chair making classes in my workshop located in Stanbridge East, one of the most beautiful villages in Quebec, Canada.

I finally go to go to the Learn to Turn class at the Tulsa Woodcraft. Got lost going through Tulsa, though. Too much construction, and the road signs didn't correspond with Google maps. Got to the class an hour late, but they were very gracious about that. Got credit for the class, which is a pre-requisite for the Beginning Bowl Turning class, which is next Saturday. Now that I know the route, getting there from Wichita will be a lot easier. I came back from the class with two big take-aways. First, I brought home a basic bowl, next Saturday will be ! more in depth, and second, Easy Wood Tools are kick-arse!. My first experience with them. The wood used was poplar, which was pretty easy to work with. My only other experience with trying (emphasis on the trying) to turn a bowl ended up with pieces of maple spread around my lathe on the floor. Major fail. Going to have to save up some money, though, those tools aren't cheap. Good quality usually isn't. Which brings up a question. Which one first? I assume a rougher is first, but what size would be best? I see from their web site that they have more than one rougher.

Well, after supper, stumbled down the stairs to the Dungeon Shop ( Burp) and got to work. With the four blanks ready, clamped them one at a time to the bench top. Used the plough plane to cut a 1/4'' x 1/4" groove along the inside's bottom edge. or, at least tried to.... Blanks were sliding around ( #$#@#!!) and the fence working loose. Hmmm, redid the fence TIGHT and straight. Drill a pilot hole, and screwed the blank down tight to the benchtop. Move on me again....dare ya! Then, after all that fun. Started the layout lines. One set was in 3/4" from each end. A second set of lines was 1/4" in from the edge, and a 1/4" in from the face of each blank. Then ( and this is a clue) drew a 45 degree line from the 3/4" line and the corner of the end. Gathered a few other hand tools up Yep, that is a HACKSAW sitting there. The main backsaw was having "issues" with about any sort of a cut, today. Got out a smaller backsaw, it worked for one or two cuts, then it had bending issues.... So a hacksaw was used to make the rest of these cuts. Clamp a blank into the old metal vise, mark out for the 1/4" rebate on the end. Saw down until I hit the 45* line. Seems the blade on the hacksaw is 1/2" wide, so as soon as it is flush with the top, stop and check the lines. Then a rap or two against the end to knock the waste off, and finish up with a chisel. a fuzzy-wuzzy before and after shot. Took awhile, but all the ends were done Next up, ( after a Mountain Dew break) layout of some pins. Since this kind of dovetail, you have to lay the pins out first. Just isn't a way to do it the other way around. This is where we started. When done, it will look like a miter joint ( I hope) as those dovetails will be "Hidden". Stay tuned, chapter three is being studied right now.....

Maybe an Old Dawg can learn a few new tricks? Had a few "classes" today, mainly from Roy Underhill and Zach Dillinger vids. Went down to the Lah-BOR -ah-Tory to get some "victims" lined up. Had some Black Walnut "left-overs" sitting around. Not quite all the right sizes, but.....Ve haft vays... Clamped them up into a solid block. Hand planed to the same width by going along one edge. Then worked over the edges, again. Seems they were at a bit of an angle....ooooops. Cleaned off the bench's top, and leveled it up, using a #6c plane. Next, got that UGLY, YELLOW< PLASTIC Mitre box out. Backsaw didn't like cutting two at a time, it is more of a rip saw, anyway. Did have a crosscut saw, hanging around, though. Took it down from the hook in the ceiling joist, and used it on the boards A Pheonix Warranted 9ppi. Stood the two board, whether front & back, or the two ends, up on their edges. That black bar is a clamp for the mitre box. Clamp two boards into the box, and sawed down. Now have two pairs of matching length boards. Soooo, now on to the next part of the class, next time Stay tuned to this batty channel, it might get even uglier.....
