Garden of England Woodturners

Dunkirk Village Hall

www.gardenofenglandwoodturners.org

Sat 2nd April 2016 This first demo by Andy Coates and the audience wasexcited to see what was the theme for the day , The firstproject was a Sycamore blank mounted on a ring centreAndy started out explaining the basic rules of turning abowl, but went on to explain why this was not necessarythe best way to turn it is a choice made by the turner ei-ther to turn from the chucking point towards the head-stock or from the headstock to the chucking point eachhad its own merits for and against , i.e not reachingacross the lathe to start the cut with no control of thetool , cutting from the headstock will give better controlof the tool but not such a fine cut.so it is a choice Onto the bowl and once the outershape and design had been com-pleted Andy then went on to ex-plain the use of a cabinet scraperto refine the outer surface, in a safeway . Here we see the scraper ontop of the bowl with thelathe in reverse .The next part was to reverse thebowl and remove the centre beforedoing this Andy said that youcould save some of the timber in the middle if you had acoring jig or with a parting tool here we see Andy ex-plaining how to remove as much of the core as possible

with a recess in the cen-tre then the parting toolis used at an angle to thecentre to remove thecore. Once the core had beenremoved Andy decided

this could be used for a lidas see on this bowl.

Notice the deer horn finial on thetop

The next project was anemerging bowl , first was tomount the blank central theturn the outer bowl .

Then the blank wascut in half and re-mounted to turn theinner bowl not thewedge at the back ofthe bowl to giveSupport

The last and final projectwas a Yew earring holderwith hidden ring box,Mounting the blank Andywent about making theshape and drilling the holesat the top then parting off

just of the base made a smallrecess big enough for a ringbut hidden by the cut andshape of the base as seenhere Thanks to Andy for a greatdemo and for the fun projectswhich I am sure will turn up onthe competition tablesSometime.

Tuesday Hands On Night

with Ed Oliver

Tuesday 12th April 2016 Semi Spherical Bowls. Demonstrated by Ed Oliver

The Sycamore blank wasmounted on a screw chuck.

The outside ofthe bowl wasshape. Ed keptthe tailstock inplace duringthe initialshaping.

A spigot of approximately 5m.m. (1/4“) depth was cre-ated.

The inside of the bowlbeing created.Ed had created a wood-en cone on which heused to hold the bowlwhilst he removed thespigot.

The bowl ran true on the cone because Ed had markedthe centre of the spigot andbrought up the tailstock tohold the bowl in place whilstthe spigot was turned down toa small stub that was sawn offand sanded. The foot of thebase was deliberately madeconcave so that should thewood move the base wouldstill remain steady.

Members were eager to be one of the first on the newlathes.

Our thanks to the Commit-tee and for arranging forthe purchase of the newmachines – at a good price– and Mike Blundy for pre-paring storage trays for thenew machines. Our thanksis alsodue toMike for

preparing blanks for this evening’ssession.

Report by Bob E

A Design Demo with

B.J Norman.

This month demo by B.J gave us and incite into hisworld of colour and how he applies different medi-ums to his work he we see a nice Vase however withcloser inspection it is covered with egg shells with notonly adds depth to the vasebut texture as well as theadded shades of the shell .This is on trial at presentbut you can be sure thetechnique will be refinedover the next few months.

Over the course of thedemo B.J. showed the au-dience a variety of appli-cations although on cardThe reason is to test theprocess first as see herewere he applied a masking

tape to the cardthen with anAirbrush ap-plied a differentcolour over theboard then re-moving themasking taperevealed thepicture under-neath

here we se an application of colour on a board withdust applied to make it like the Saturn's rings

Here we see another application ona finial with watered down irides-

cent paint ap-plied over a blackmedium here wesee the start thenwith the differentliquid colour ap-plied over the topwe see the nextstaged once thisis dry an application of lacquer issprayed on to seal the piece

The next part was an ex-citing piece when a col-oured board was sprayedwith a water mist allowingit to settle in droplets thenwith a lacquer spayed in afine mist from each sideof the board it was wasallowed to settle on the water and seal it then left to drybefore revelling a droplet effect on the board

Here we see another trial process B.Jhas tried on copying a photo onto aboard with a small demo on using thetexturing tool andwood applied directlyto the texture revel-ling a colour as seenhere it was anotherexciting demo by B.J.And a lot for club

members to try in their own studios.
