Unique Bowl and Platter Accents
This is a demo about using new materials and fun tech-niques to create unique
designs for accenting ba-sic woodturn-ings. Turning tear-out free ringed re-cesses and adding guitar perfling, sea-
shell, dia-mond and cir-cular insets, and other materials. Further en-hancing these inlays with dyes and air-
brushing. Demo covers safety considerations and material handling con-cerns.
I would like to thank David Lutrick for showing us all the tricks he had up his sleeve last month.
I had a chance to at-tend the Olympic Wood Turners 25th anniversary on the 28th of October. A few of Seattle’s “old timers” were there. They skyped, with Wally Dickerman, who happens also to be one of the founding members of the Seattle club. Many sto-ries were told from the “old timers”. In 2016 the Seat-tle club will be celebrating 30 years as an AAW group. From what I hear, the Seat-tle club was one of the first groups to join AAW. I will be attending a conference in January with all the presidents and Program Drectors for the northwest AAW Chapters.
We will be voting this month for many of the club officers and other service po-sitions.
Our own Diana Friend will be having some of her bowls shown at Kirsten Gal-lery at 5320 Roosevelt Way in Seattle from November 15th (2PM to 4PM for the recep-tion opening) to December 27th, 2015. I will be heading down there to see her work soon.
I would like to remind everyone that the club meet-ing now starts at 6:45 in-stead of 7:00. Also, remem-ber the club sells sealer for your green turned projects at $20.00 per gallon.
I want to remind every-one that the mentors and others are available to help people with any questions or turning challenges through-out the month, not just at the meetings or Saw Dust Sessions. I am more than happy to work with anyone anytime, just give me a call to set up a time. The men-tors also feel the same way, DON’T not feel like you are putting anyone out. That is why we have volunteered to be mentors!
Be safe out there!

TOPS TOPS TOPS TOPS TOPS TOPS
Don’t forget we are always encouraging folks to make a few tops in preparation for our work with Bellevue Arts and their kids program. This also gives folks a good in-troduction to turning. In general, tops should be around 3 inches tall with the stem being the longest part. The bottom should be about one third the total length. Usu-ally the more weight on the bottom the longer the top will spin. The image is of a top Richard Raffin made in one of his books. All of the cuts he used to make the top
are numbered. This may be something of a guide in turning yours. Of course use your own design. The Outreach Committee will have a container available at each meeting for you to drop your tops off.
Christmas Party December 3, not December 10
Speaking of Christmas ‘Stuff’: this year’s Christmas celebration must be moved up a week to December 3.
As usual bring some sort of hors ‘de oeuvre to share. If you wish to join the Yankee Gift Exchange bring a gift for someone who is a ‘turner. Spendy gifts are not the usual—spend no more than about $20.00. The exchange, of course, is voluntary. It is great fun. At some Yankee Exchanges gag gifts are often given out. Ours does not include joke gifts.
There will be no wood raffle at the party and no project displays.
Reminder: Seattle Woodturners is now accepting your 2016 $35.00 renewal via Pay-Pal: http://seattlewoodturners.org/pay-membership-dues/ See instructions below or send me email with questions. After 1/1/2016, the Seattle Woodturners 2016 renewal will be $40.00.
We hope that as a current member of Seattle Woodturners, you plan to renew your mem-bership in 2016. Practically speaking, nearly all Club revenue is generated through membership dues to support hall rental costs, demonstration fees, outreach programs, audio/video equipment upgrades, Club trailer/tool purchases and maintenance, and other miscellaneous expenses in-curred to run the Club. For 2016 membership dues, your Board has agreed that membership payment before 1/1/2016 will remain $35.00/year, and payment after 1/1/2016 will be paid at the regular rate of $40.00/year. This year we’ve made several changes regarding how you can make your 2016 payment, including adding the ability for you to pay your dues electronically using PayPal. In fact, you are encouraged to use PayPal as the preferred method of making your 2016 renewal payment for sev-eral reasons, including: you pay when and from wherever you choose; you do not require a Pay-Pal account to make your payment using PayPal; you no longer have to wait in line (or try to find the Treasurer) at monthly meetings to make your payment; and, PayPal provides detailed transac-tion records to keep our accounting and membership lists as accurate as possible. To pay your 2016 membership dues using PayPal, complete these 4 steps: [1]Open this link, as found on our web site:

November 2015 Sawdust Session Is on the 14th!!!!!
We will be making Christmas Ornaments! I am looking for more people to demonstrate other than me because the only thing I can do is Christmas trees. (I did learn last weekend how to make the small ornaments at John Moe’s). I promise I will demonstrate how to make these. I do have a lot of dry wood to make small projects out of.
WHEN: Saturday November 14th
WHERE: AJ's Big Yellow Shop in back (Address below)
TIME: 9:00AM- 5:00PM (or whenever)
WHY: Help turners with techniques, sharpening or whatever you like.
WHAT to BRING: Your turning tools, a special piece of wood you have been wanting to turn. I will have wood available. There will be many lathes available to turn on. Don't be shy!! (We have room for more than 10 lathes)
Lunch is not provided. Bathroom services will be available in my house. Be very careful of the locals and do not let them out (My Cats).
PARKING: Please park along the sides of MY driveway or in front on the street. Please stay off the grass.

Club Ornament Class Great
Success!
John Moe, with Hal Johnson and Gary Clarke, hosted are in the process of leading ornament turning classes. In addition to creating an orna-ment, the participants first made two hol-lowing tools for the small sphere.
For some of us, it was fiure our first exposure to "reverse turning" for hollow forms.
A good time was had by all.
Thanks guys!!
Thirty Years-WOW!
In 1986 a bunch of dusty folks got together at Denver Ullery’s shop at Overlake School to talk woodturning’. Out of those discussions came the vaunted Seattle Woodturners which eventually became one of the early starting groups of the Ameri-can Association of Woodturners. As a part of that celebration Peter Palmer will be re-searching our history. If you have pictures, any “STUFF” from those early times let Peter know and he would like to include it in his developing study.

Sawdust Sessions are really worthwhile. October’s primarily dealt with mak-ing the sea urchin ornament. Dan Johnson also demonstrated making a hollow core ornament. Ten to fifteen attended in October. All who wished to, were able to turn a sea urchin ornament. Thanks to Dave Lutrick for sharing materials and
information on making this ornament.
Finishing Pens by Don Ward, Red River Pens (www.redriverpens.com)
Note: Please be aware that some, if not all, finishes can cause reactions to those who are sensitive to them. The topic of finishing pens comes up at least once a week on the pen forums with subjects such as these: • What is the best finish? • What is a quick and durable finish? • What is the most durable finish? • Which finish is the easiest to apply? • Is a sanding sealer necessary? Which finish is quick, easy, and durable? While those three qualities don’t go together, I would say that none of the finishes I’ve tried are especially difficult. Some take more time than others and some are more durable than others, but I’ve not come across a finish that is especially problematic. The quality of the final finish will be directly proportional to the surface preparation under that finish. A quality finish on a pen starts with sanding. Sanding should start with as fine a
is especially problematic. The quality of the final finish will be directly proportional to the surface preparation under that finish. Sanding should start with as fine a grit as possible. I turn pens with a skew leaving a very smooth surface on which to begin sanding. I often start with 320 grit sand-paper when possible. After sanding with the first grit, stop the lathe then clean the blank and apply a sanding sealer. Then, continue sanding through finer grits. I stop sanding at 600 grit. Stopping the lathe and sanding length-wise after each grit of sandpaper is also a good practice, as is cleaning the sanding dust off of the blank. Cleaning will remove dis-lodged grit and keep it from interfering with the finer grits. On open grain wood, I use a slurry made from thin CA and sanding dust. The CA slurry will be discussed in more detail later. After sanding with sandpaper sand with Micro Mesh, a cushioned abrasive, which leaves the wood surface as smooth as glass and ready for the chosen finish. More informa-tion about Micro Mesh, which is available from all pen turning suppliers as well as most woodturning suppliers, can be found at www.sisweb.com/micromesh. Purchasing full sheets and cutting them into smaller swatches is much more economical than purchasing the smaller swatches in sets. Micro Mesh will last for several months and can be cleaned by placing it in the pockets of jeans or in a separate garment bag and tossing in the washing machine. It can also be used wet for wet sanding acrylics and plastics. One thing I’ve no-ticed penturners doing (incorrectly) is assembling and handling pens as soon as the finish is applied. A newly finished pen should be given time to cool and cure before assembly and each finish has its own cure time. Learn what they are and respect that for a much better finish. FINISHES FOR PENS Shellac Based Friction Polish: The finish most of us started using is shellac-based fric-tion polish. Most penturners who make pens to give away (the recreational or casual pen turner) will continue to use shellac based friction polish. When used correctly, shellac-based friction polish produces a very stunning finish. However, all too often shellac friction polish fails to produce the finish we desire for two reasons: (1) the use of too much friction polish for each coat and/or (2) not applying enough pressure (friction) to create the heat needed to evaporate the solvent leaving the shellac behind. Ever wonder why it is called friction polish? Several coats can be applied but the pen blanks should not be handled until the fi-nal coat is completely cured. Waiting until the next day to assemble the new pen is best. A nice shellac-based friction polish finish can be ruined by handling the pen while the shellac is still warm and not fully cured. Shellac-based friction polish is not as durable or as hard as pure shellac. They have oils and solvents added that make them easy and quick to use, but reduce the durability of the finish. Remember the white rings we often find on older furni-ture? Those white rings were caused by moisture condensing on drinking glasses and re-acting with the finish—the shellac finish. Shellac reacts with the moisture and oils from our hands and causes the finish to deteriorate and turn darker as the pens ages and is used. Shellac-based friction polish is great for turnings that will not be handled. Several profess to like this patina and that’s fine. Several of us do not, and that’s fine also. Pure shellac is quite durable but takes lots of time to properly apply. Lacquer: Lacquer is one of my favorite finishes. It is not a quick finish because lacquer
takes a week or two or longer to fully cure and reach its full hardness. But once it does fully cure, lacquer can be buffed to a deep shine. Lacquer can be used in several ways: (1) full strength from the can; (2) diluted using lacquer thinner; (3) spray can; or (4) the dip-ping lacquer. Lacquer can be purchased in gloss, semi-gloss, or satin finish. But remember, lacquer must be allowed to completely cure to its ultimate hardness before buffing. This may take several weeks de-pending on individual shop conditions. I prefer a 50-50 mix of gloss lacquer and lacquer thinner applied on the lathe with a clean cloth. I apply 6 or 7 coats and allow the pen to cure for two weeks before assembling and buffing. It is not a fast finish, but lacquer is a great finish for pens. Plexiglass: After reading several threads on the penturning forums, I think plexiglass fin-ish has potential. Basically, the plexiglass is broken into small pieces, dissolved into acetone and applied to the pen. Smaller pieces will dissolve quicker. The solution needs to be stirred often to keep the pieces of plexiglass from forming one large mound of plexiglass reducing the total surface area of the plexiglass and requiring more time for it to dissolve. Add more plexiglass or acetone as needed to reach a solution that is close to thick syrup in consistency. The mix is applied to the pen using paper towels. Two or three coats are applied and when it dries, wet sanding seems to be the best way to sand. Wet sanding keeps down the heat and the finish doesn’t melt. Caution: use only real plexiglass. Other clear plastics like Lexan(tm) will not work. And, the best plexiglass to use is the Cyro brand which is used by picture framers. Cyro brand Acrylite(tm) is the only sheet acrylic currently manufactured that is guaranteed not to yellow. Other brands of sheet acrylic will yellow, especially the Plexiglasstm brand. Scrap from picture framing shops can be bought cheaply or often will be given away, else it ends up in landfills CA (cyanoacrylate) glue with or without Boiled Linseed Oil: As will soon be revealed, fin-ishing pens with CA glue has become my finish of choice. And, I also use boiled linseed oil with the CA. Woodturners have been using CA glue for filling checks, cracks, and gaps on woodturnings. But, CA has become a popular finish for pens. I know some turners who use CA for a finish on small bowls and spindle turnings. CA is used with and without boiled lin-seed oil and results are quite comparable. I’ve seen excellent and not so good CA finishes where CA was used with boiled linseed oil as well as without the oil. Several excellent in-structional articles have been posted on the penturning forums outlining the finishing tech-niques for CA glue. Go to your favorite penturning forum and you’ll find those instructions where ever the forum stores articles and instructions. My CA instructions follow. I use ei-ther a sanding sealer or a slurry of CA and sanding dust after sanding with 320 sandpaper. Sanding through 600 grit sandpaper is followed with Micro Mesh starting with 1500 and progressing through 12000. An application of Medium Walnut WATCO Danish oil follows. The Danish oil darkens the wood just a little and makes the grain very noticeable. The pen is now ready for the CA finish. Here are the steps I use: 1. Tear a sheet of paper towel into six or seven strips and fold. Use a piece of paper towel
folded several times, add three drops of boiled linseed oil and apply a light coat of oil to the spinning pen blanks, using a slow lathe speed. I use three drops for each coat of CA. I ap-ply the finish at a much faster lathe speed now than I did when I first started learning. (note: DON’T USE TOO MUCH OIL-it will damage the finish) 2. Hold the paper towel applicator from step 1 (which was used to apply the boiled linseed
oil) against the bottom side of blank. Starting with the paper towel and CA bottle on same end of pen, add a thin layer of medium CA on top of blank as the blank spins while moving the CA and towel pad from one end of the pen to the other--one pass only--then add light pressure with the paper towel on the blank, constantly moving side-to-side until the CA is dry and the surface of the pen is smooth and slick. The CA will heat up some (the heat is from the CA curing, not the friction applied by the paper towel applicator.) Repeat process for second blank. The paper towel should be kept moving from end to end and the CA will cure to a bright shiny coating. After some prac-tice, you will be able to determine how long to keep the applicator on the blank and moving. I think many who try this remove the applicator too soon and hence the high failure rate and frustration. Now, do the same to the other half of the pen.
3. I sometimes lightly sand between the CA layers but most of the time I don’t...you will
learn to tell when you should. I use very fine sandpaper (600 or 1000) or the 1500 Mi-croMeshtm
4. Repeat step two...I do four coats of CA/boiled linseed oil. 5. After the final coat of CA/boiled linseed oil, sand with Micro Meshtm 1500 to 12000. 6. After sanding with MicroMeshtm, I buff with Tripoli, white diamond and HUT Ultra Gloss
Plastic Polish. 7. Next, I use McGuire’s scratch and swirl remover auto polish and I use it as directed on
the tube. 8. I use no wax or other top coats over the CA finish. That’s how it’s done and the result is a great durable finish for pens. After using this finish for three years now, I get such a great looking finish after the final CA/boiled linseed oil application that I have stopped the sanding after the CA application and go straight to the buffing step. This has come with practice and continual tweaking of the application proc-ess. I often apply the CA to the paper towel applicator and then apply the CA to the spin-ning pen, but I think learning as I have outlined may produce quicker successful results. Happy finishing....and, OH YEAH, you should keep a can of acetone close by. You will figure out why! Do a good turn daily!
Beads of Courage Boxes Still Needed
So far we have about 10 Beads of Courage boxes turned in to Children’s Hospital. They say they can use up to 30 a year, so your work is still needed!
Remember, these kids go through some hella-cious tests and procedures. They earn many of these special beads. We need to make them top scale projects. Of great importance also is to be sure your box meets the size requests: 6” diameter and 5” height. You can fudge of these sizes only a little. It has been my experience that I often get a “design opportunity” for many of my turnings. Plan for that.

CorrosionX was invented in cooperation with the Navy in 1993. The Navy wanted to fight rust in both freshwater and saltwater environments. What makes CorrosionX so effective — in a sea of lubricants (no pun intended) — is a concept called Polar Bonding. Polar Bonding is the attraction of positive molecules in the oil to the nega-tive molecules (and vice versa) of any ferrous or non-ferrous metal, leaving a slick coat on each surface. I use a Powermatic 3520 for my own wood-turning projects. If you're familiar with that Lathe, you'll know it's the model with the sliding head stock, which is very heavy. The tail stock weighs a whopping 50 pounds, and eve-rything else on this lathe is heavy and hard to slide. Like most woodturners, I used to use paste wax on the bed rails. Then a few years ago, I was introduced to Cor-rosionX for the first time, and I applied copious amounts of it to the bed rails of the Powermatic, and proceeded to do some sanding. After a few moments I could see that the sawdust stuck to the bed rails, so I began to worry that CorrosionX might not be effective. I took a rag and wiped off the sawdust. What I did not know at the time, because of the polar bonding effect, the oil was still there in a coating thin enough to make everything slide well, yet not gather debris. Later I took apart my tail stock and treated it with Corrosion X. A visiting club member noticed how easy it was to crank my tail stock, and ask how I did it. I gave him some of my own supply of CorrosionX to try at home. He called me the next day. To his delight his tail stock was working smoothly. I only re-treat my lathe every few months. I use it on my chucks of every size, and I've recently been successful using it as bar oil on a chain saw. It has been the best penetrating oil I have ever used, and I have tried everything on the market over the years. It works because the oil is always seeking untreated metal. It will inhibit rust from developing, and free-up the most stubborn of rusted bolts. In the workshop I use it on all steel tables, table saws, ban saws, and my drill press. It is great on bearings, and is not affected by electronics, so it can be used to improve the waterproofness of remote control cars, boats and planes. Beyond the shop it is good on locks, trailer hitches, and garage doors. It can be used on anything involving metal-to-metal contact, like squeaky car door or trunk hinges. All it takes is a drop of it, and it works its way to the spots that are making the noise. Corrosion Technologies has over 100 products, and many are variations of the founding product CorrosionX, each with a money back Guarantee. Here's a selection of my favorite ones:
