For our November meeting one of our lady turners demoed an ornament she turns. It's a basic globe ornament but she does an applique of contrasting wood on four sides of the globe. She uses a scroll saw to do a cutout on the added piece. She had some with Christmas trees and some with crosses. I do not own a scroll saw, by choice, in fact, I have un-owned one three times now. Scrolling is just not for me. I do however, have a router and guide bushings. I also happen to have a 3D printer. So, I printed a template for a cross and routed that into 4 pieces of wood for an ornament. The main body is walnut and the appliques are spalted maple, I think. Still have some kinks to work out but I'm overall happy with the look of it. I think it works this way but if a little more is turned away the pattern pieces will isolate on each side and I think that would look good too. The lady (Rhonda) who did the demo also had glued a piece of veneer between the main piece and the applique. That made a nice outline around the feature.

I will be doing my first demo at our club Saturday. A little nervous but not too bad. A lot of people have been wanting to see how I make my barrel boxes so that is what I will demo.

I went and met with a group today. Around 15 people. At 10 am they have coffee and donuts. At noon they have lunch. They don’t do much but talk. Anybody that has something new brings it in for show and tell. It was a lot of fun. A few people there really know what they are doing. I learned a lot today just talking to them. They meet every Tuesday. Looking forward to next week.

We had a great club meeting today and got some great tips from Mark Sillay. 1. Turning bowls end grain instead of side grain gives a whole different pwerspective. 2. When turning hollow form (end grain ) put CA around the inside of the neck opening and on the bottom of tenon. Spray accelerator inside to create barrier on bottom so the CA does not go thru and bowl will not crack. 3.When remounting a piece and is not running true . Leave the chuck slight loose and with lathe running slow place a gouge with flutes down over tool rest and lever the workpiece very gently till is true and then tighten chuck. 4.Use a Spindle Roughing Gouge with a steeper than 45 angle grind to act like a skew to smooth the outside of a bowl. This will be angled like a skew and rubbing the bevel. There was more but do not know how i could explain.

I've been thinking of how to write this post for a few days. I am a member, and now (unbelievably) president of the Northeast Indiana Turners and Chiselers, a wood turning club near Ft. Wayne IN. Anyway, we had a visitor at our last meeting, a retired guy(are all turners retired?). He said he was trying to turn some table legs and they were "all fuzzy". He wanted to know if there was anyone who could visit his shop and show him what he's doing wrong. It happens he lives about ten mile from me and I did visit his shop the other day. Where to start? He's trying to turn pine, about 36" long and 1 1/2" diameter and he doesn't have a steady rest. It would've been nearly impossible to do what what he was trying to do. It didn't help that his tools are very dull. The really bad thing though, is his lathe, it's a Grizzly. I don't know the model number but it swings 14", with a very small variable speed motor. Worse, the ways looked to be 1/8" or less C-channel. Very, very light duty. If I had to guess I would say the lathe weighed less than 100lbs. I'll admit I'm not a Grizzly fan but neither am I a basher. This lathe though, to me it's little more than stealing to sell such a piece of equipment. I'm not sure a person could even turn a pen on it, let alone a 12 or 14" bowl. The guy told me he bought the lathe to see if he would like wood turning. I told him I could guarantee he wouldn't like it if he had to use that lathe. It made me wonder, how many people have bought that lathe, or a similar product to see if they would like turning only to give it up and never know what turning is really like Steve

I would like to announce the new woodturning club in Santa Cruz County. It is called the Santa Cruz Woodturners Association. We just got accepted as a chapter of the AAW and currently have 17 members. If any of the members of The Patriot Woodworker live in the area and would like to come by, please email me directly at ldubia@yahoo.com. We currently meet at a members house until such time as we can secure a long term location. Our membership includes absolute beginners to professional turners so everyone is welcome. Thanks, Larry Dubia
