2019 February Meeting
Monday- 6PM- February 11, 2019 Enchanted Woodturners Meeting
We will meet at ECO Woodworking Shop, see driving & parking diagram attached, or look at the ECO location on Google Satellite to see it better.
Subject: Hollowing a Simple Form Presenter: Alan Becker
Alan will demonstrate how to Hollow a Simple Form. For anyone who has ever been intimidated to try to turn or even has tried to turn a hollow form, Alan will remove the all of the mystique and simplify the process for you. All of the turning will be done without the use of a capture device or any kind of jig. Alan will demonstrate how hand tools are used to carve out the inside of a hollow form, by using only one hand-held tool at a time. He will start with an open form (sometimes called a bowl) so that tool movement and application of the cutting edge can be seen. Like a magician, he will then proceed to demonstrate a more closed form where the tool application absolutely cannot be seen. A prize will be given to anyone who can tell us what’s inside the tall black stovepipe hat covered with a white napkin.
Alan will also discuss the evolution of turning tools used to make hollow forms.
