Websites are important if you want to sell your items.  And how do you promote your wonderful work through a website?  Contacts.  What are those and how do they relate to customers?

Consider your website the static brochure.  And on Facebook you have a page dedicated to woodturning.  Not travel, grandkids, etc….  The first thing to do is create the page.  Then go looking for like minded individuals… i.e. turners!

Here is an example of WHY and HOW this can work for you!!  There are over 10 woodturning groups on Facebook with no fewer than 200 members of a “private group”. so no political stuff, nothing but wood turning.  And on many not only do you post your wares, and pictures and prices — These get shared with all the friends of the turner who is in the group –

Turners without borders – Honduras

Through the Turners Without Borders program, AAW has partnered with a nonprofit, GreenWood, to help teach woodturning to artisans in a remote area of Honduras. We need a volunteer who can travel to Honduras for 12 days in late May to help train artisans, who will use their new skills to turn mallets that they will sell to the world market. Because electricity is spotty at best, the crew will use the human-powered lathe featured in a recent issue of American Woodturner. The volunteer will help assemble the lathe and use it to teach the basics of spindle and faceplate turning.

This is a major project for the AAW. We hope to use it as a model for similar, future ventures to spread woodturning knowledge worldwide. The ideal volunteer will have experience as a woodturning teacher or demonstrator. Knowledge of the Spanish language is important, as is a sense of adventure. All the volunteer’s travel expenses will be covered, and GreenWood will pay for all meals, lodging, and transportation in Honduras.

This is a priority. We hope that one of your chapter’s members will want to be part of this unique experience. Please email Phil McDonald or call the AAW Home Office 651-484-9094 as soon as possible (not later than April 1) if you know someone who is eager to travel and teach.

2015 October Meeting Info

Monday- 6PM- October 12, 2015 Enchanted Woodturners Meeting

We will meet at Santa Fe High School Woodworking Shop

Subject: Christmas Ornaments
Presenter: Alan Becker
Mentors: Elves from the North Pole

With the holiday season now approaching, it’s time to think of decorations that we can make for friends and family. A personally turned ornament can be a family keepsake and heirloom.
Alan is not teaching globes and finials, which of course are beautiful, but we all know how to do that.
Alan will be demonstrating how to create a turned Christmas angel. This is a simple project that will delight all recipients and is a real pleasure to produce.
Time should also permit Alan to demonstrate how to turn a snowman and a base for ornaments.

There may be time to demonstrate how to turn a Christmas tree, by a surprise presenter.

I’m sure we’ll have an informative and fun meeting at Alan’s presentation, so don’t be late, the meeting starts at 6PM Monday- October 12, 2015 at the Santa Fe High School Woodworking Shop.

“Show & Tell” please bring at least one “good” piece to brag about, and one “mistake/bad” piece to explain or ask what went wrong.

Women in Turning 2015 September

Here is some of what we do!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/835594199795368/photos/

Women in Turning (WIT) is the newest committee of the AAW, bringing together women worldwide who share a passion for woodturning.

It is dedicated to encouraging and assisting women in their pursuit of turning, to sharing ideas and processes to further members’ skills and creativity, and to increasing participation of women in the field of woodturning.
Women in Turning is on the web with both a public link to Facebook and private Facebook page.  A dedicated website is planned for the future.

2015 September Meeing Information

This is a reminder, that our September TEW meeting is another member-led program- Tips, jigs, and fixtures.  Please think about the jigs and fixtures that you have made or seen, which make turning better, easier, or safer.  Or if you have a tip for a new way to handle a task or solve a problem, please prepare to share that with your turning colleagues at the September meeting.  Alternatively, if you have found a jig suggestion in a magazine, and wonder if it would be worth the trouble to make, bring a picture in, and we can discuss whether it looks like a breakthrough or a blowout.  I look forward to seeing everyone on September 14th.   — Derek

2015 August Meeting WrapUp

TEW Finishing program, August 10, 2015 Wrap Up by Derek:

Our round-table discussion on finishing was very successful.  Cleve, our vice president, skillfully guided the discussion through all the stages, from preparation to finishing to final polishing.  He passed around Bob Flexner’s book, “Understanding Wood Finishing”, saying that it is an excellent reference.  Taz started the discussion off, showing some computer graphs of the drying process of pieces turned green.  His frequent weighings of the pieces showed that most moisture was released in twenty days, and moisture loss reached zero at around thirty days.  This was for pieces that were finish-turned, of roughly 3/8” thickness.  Taz also talked about soaking pieces in alcohol for a short time (~24 hours), at the start of the drying process.  Dave Wahl and Alan mentioned boiling as a first step, with a similar goal of speeding drying and reducing drying distortion.  Elliot outlined his use of the microwave oven to speed drying.

There was a lot of discussion about sanding.  I learned that most people stop sanding at 400 grit or below, depending, of course, on the details of the piece, and the planned finish.  Many members use Abranet abrasive mesh, which is excellent for clearing sawdust.  The foam-backed Abralon was also widely used, especially to polish finishes in the higher grits.  Bob Seigel spoke highly of another foam-backed abrasive, Gold-Flex.  All of these products are made by the company Mirka.  Cleve showed an example of the 3M Imperial abrasive film, which he had recently bought.  Someone else asked about the ceramic-based abrasives.  Antone, and others, said that they were good products, but not worth the high cost, in their experience.  Dave mentioned sanding wet, either with oil, or with water as a lubricant.  He said this reduces or eliminates the scratches that would be visible with the same grit used dry.  I had heard of sanding with oil, but not about sanding wood with water.  I plan to give it a try.

When the discussion turned to adding color, pigment stains didn’t seem to have much support.  Ralph made a strong case for Procion MX dyes, sold for fabric dying.  He said these dyes are the most colorfast available.  Dave Wahl mentioned that he has had good luck with Rit fabric dyes, and David Burling shared positive experiences with Solar-Lux dyes.  Several members recounted fading problems with alcohol-soluble dyes, and all agreed that Jimmy Clewes setting the dye and turning on fire was great showmanship, but not an essential step in adding color.

Wipe-on Polyurethane is a popular finish, which helps enhance the prominence and contrast of the grain.  Alan lauded the gel variety.  Poly helps “pop the grain,” emphasizing the attractive grain pattern on some woods.  Cleve introduced the term “chatoyancy” to the discussion, with is used to describe the shimmering changes in light reflection that curly, fiddle-back, and other grain patterns exhibit.  Oil is particularly effective for enhancing chatoyancy, and many members use oils such as linseed oil or tung oil, or the oil-varnish blends generically called “Danish oil”.  Watco and Waterlox are two examples of Danish oil used by several members.  Antone said he uses pure tung oil, and he, Alan, and Derek noted that many products labeled “tung oil” may contain little or no tung oil.  Several members mentioned mixing their own blend of oil, varnish, and solvent, and Dave said that Sam Maloof’s finish is that sort of combination.  Bob and some other members said they liked using walnut oil.  Elliot cautioned that using oil on a spalted piece can be a disaster.

Alan explained that CA glue can be used as a base for finish, and it will enhance chatoyancy/pop the grain.  He said that he uses it underneath several different finishes.  It fills the grain, and gives the evenness and sheen that would take four or five coats of a solvent finish to attain.  Alan said that CA is compatible under any other finish, and Floyd mentioned that he sometimes uses it as the only finishing material on some of his pens.  Cleve mentioned that he had read that shellac can be used under any finish, and Derek said that this is true for de-waxed shellac, but that many shellac products contain wax, which might interfere with adhesion for some top coats.  Derek recommended Zinsser’s SealCoat de-waxed shellac.

Alan said that he likes lacquer for a high-gloss finish, and this was seconded by several other members.  He noted that traditional nitro-cellulose lacquer is hard to find these days, and that he prefers acrylic lacquer.  Cleve endorsed Krylon acrylic lacquer.  Derek said he likes shellac as a topcoat as well as a sealer.  Several members mentioned friction polish.  Cleve pointed out that there are multiple formulations sold as friction polish, including some that contain linseed oil and/or lacquer.  Derek uses the Mylands product that contains shellac and wax.  Ralph mentioned the possibility of using pure carnauba wax as a finish, and Bob suggested that on stabilized woods, he sometimes just buffs with white rouge.

That led us to polishing the finish and adding wax.  Antone said that carnauba wax is the hardest wax derived from plants.  Other options include synthetics and waxes derived from petroleum.  Some microcrystalline waxes, such as Renaissance Wax, that are considered to be archival.  He said that many of the finishing processes that we had discussed could not be considered archival, and if we wanted our finish to last as long as our turnings, passed on for 500 years, we would probably need to approach finishing differently.  Alan, Dave, and Cleve mentioned automotive rubbing compounds and polishing materials as useful for getting a high polish on a finish.  Ralph said he got as good a gloss from wipe-on poly as someone using a buffing system.  Derek mentioned that he is currently experimenting with the Dr. Kirk’s line of polishing waxes from Craft Supplies.  He reported mixed feelings, since the first product in the system, Scratch-Free, liquifies at summer air temperatures, and the final product, the microcrystalline Versa-Wax, is somewhat hard to apply.

2015 John Ellis active candidate for AAW Board!

If you are a member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), you have probably seen the slate of candidates for the AAW Board.  (If you are not a member, please consider joining.  It’s a great organization, and its journal, American Woodturner, is a great resource for learning about turning.)  I am writing to support the candidacy of John Ellis.  John is a member of our club, The Enchanted Woodturners/Santa Fe Woodturners, and contributes to our monthly programs on a regular basis.  He also serves on the Board of the New Mexico Woodturners, and opens his home to woodturning workshops on a regular basis.

John has been serving AAW for several years as Volunteer Coordinator for the Annual Symposium.  He is a skillful and reliable organizer, and a good friend.  I hope you will consider voting for him.

Thanks,   Derek Roff

2015 August 10 Meeting

Finishing for Woodturning: TEW Monday- 6PM- August 10, 2015 The Enchanted Woodturners Meeting –

YOU are part of this month’s Finishing program for The Enchanted Woodworkers (TEW).  This is a program by members, and for members, in which we will share the techniques, methods, and materials that we use to finish our woodturning projects.  Probably none of us is a finishing authority, but each of us has tried several different finishing options, and we may have found an approach or two that we use in different situations.

Please bring samples and examples of some of your turnings with finishes.  Tell us about your successes and about your frustrations and failures.  Our vice president, Cleve Pardue, will lead the discussion, helping us to share our knowledge with each other.  I expect that we will each learn several new options and approaches, that may improve our finishing on future projects.  Cleve asks us to include such topics as sanding, sealing, topcoats (shellacs, oils- various types-, lacquers, water based types, super glues, friction polishes), dyes and stains, buffing, finishing on and off the lathe, rubbing out, waxes, etc.  Cleve suggests that we leave for a later program the topics of embellishing, carving, “decorating”, and woodburning!

We all have one week until the next TEW meeting, to select or create a few examples, and to think about the different elements that go into our finishing processes.  Please be ready to share your finishing experiences, positive and negative.

Meeting Info for July 13, 2015

From the desk of the Club President, David Wahl:

Monday- 6PM- July 13, 2015   Enchanted Woodturners Meeting

Meeting Subject: Ralph Watts will show us how to hold things on the lathe with various CHUCKS.

Sure, you know how to hold things so you can work on them. You know how to use a vise, a couple of clamps, big plyers, Army green tape or just put your foot on it.  Ralph will not discuss any of these.

Ralph, a self-described “nuclear garbage man” and Zen woodturner, has made some fabulously outrageous things on the lathe with ingenious chucking methods.

He will first give us some chucking tips that he has found useful over the years,

Then Ralph will discuss and show us several methods for chucking your wood including:

Basic Chucks, Screw Chuck, Jam Chucks, Faceplate, Center to Center Chucking, Vacuum Chucking,

and some other varieties. Ralph will also discuss what not to chuck!

All of the holding methods that Ralph will discuss and demonstrate are inexpensive, actually comparatively cheap.

If you want to go big time with a very expensive holding method, then use: “Honey, can you hold this for me?”

Inspiration!

Derek’s comments on the April Meeting

The Enchanted Woodturners had our first meeting at Santa Fe High School last night, and it was a great success. The woodworking shop is large and provides a good space for presentations. They have lathes and other equipment in place, which lessens setup time. Thanks to Dana Richards and SFHS for hosting us!

John Ellis presented an excellent demonstration on turning platters. He showed us half a dozen or more exquisite platters in varying styles, that he has turned over the years, and commented about the salient features in making them. He then took us through the process of turning a platter, starting with a bandsawn disk. John showed us how he attaches the workpiece, via double-stick tape, to another disk, made from MDF, to begin the shaping process on the lathe. He then trued the face, the rim, and cut the mortise/recess for remounting the workpiece in a scroll chuck in expansion mode.

Part of John’s focus was on the use of high vanadium content scrapers to produce a finish that requires very little sanding. John demonstrated several scrapers containing the V10 steel alloy, made by Doug Thompson. The scrapers had profiles similar to curved skews, with double-sided bevels, and roughly a 45 degree included sharpness angle. John showed how he creates a burr at the grinding wheel, turning the tool into a very fine negative-rake scraper. With a light touch, the finish quality is superb. John pointed out that the burr lasts a very short time, but once the grinder is properly set, the burr can be renewed in seconds. The burr makes this a temporarily single-sided tool; it can be reground on the opposite side, in order to reverse the burr, and allow the tool’s curve to match other parts of the desired profile. John said that while this technique can be used on other steel alloys, the burr on the high vanadium tools lasts much longer.

John took us through all the steps in making a platter, up to the moment when he would have begun finish sanding. For me, it was a very well-organized and clear presentation, filled with valuable information, and presented with great wit. Thanks, John.

The show and tell was less well populated than last month, but included intriguing examples of “the good and the bad”, as our president had requested, often on the same piece. Thanks to everyone who showed and explained their interesting works. Eric showed a beautiful large pine bowl, with striking blue stain coloring, which led to a discussion of where this color comes from. I’ve done some research today, and I’d like to pass along what I learned. Blue stain is caused by a fungus, listed in Wikipedia as Grosmannia clavigera, although other sites list other fungi names. It affects many types of pine and related trees, especially lodgepole and ponderosa, in this area. The fungus is carried by a beetle, but it can infect cut wood as it is drying, independent of the beetle. Several Virginia sawyers said that it is an issue in all pine cut during the summer months, in their area. Unlike some wood fungi, blue stain doesn’t decrease the strength of the wood. Several sites said that their are no specific health risks associated with blue stain fungus. However, one site said that individual people may be, or become, allergic to the spores of this fungus. The fungus becomes inactive below 19% moisture content, but the spores will remain in the wood. If the wood is sealed, it is unlikely that anyone using the turning would face significant spore exposure. Some people try to promote the growth of blue stain by storing damp wood in piles with some blue stained pieces, for a few months. All this is Internet research, so keep the quality and reliability of that source in mind.

The club voted to continue meeting at SFHS indefinitely. We also approved a letterhead design, incorporating our logo and that of AAW. Kathy Knorr created the design.

Next month, Taz Bramlette will present his hollowing system. He has been developing his ideas for more than a year, and has patented some of his improvements and innovations. I look forward to seeing his state of the art tool. I also hope to see additional works from all members, for the show and tell.
For the program committee,

Derek

Sept 2014 Mtg TUES Sept 9!!

The September meeting of TEW will take place on TUESDAY, Sept. 9th  (please note the change of day just for the month of September).  The meeting will start at 6:00 PM at the Nancy Rodriguez Community Center.

This month’s presentation will cover sharpening. Several members will demonstrate their preferential method of sharpening and explain why they chose that method.  To show a wide range of options, we will have available a belt sander sharpening system inspired by an AAW American Woodturner article, our club’s medium-speed grinder, a slow-speed Tormek sharpening system, CBN wheels, and mineral crystal abrasive wheels.  If you have any tool that you are having difficulty achieving a sharp edge on, bring it with you and we will assist you in achieving an optimum degree of sharpness.

Per the chapter By Laws, we will be putting together a nominating committee to help select next years officers.  Please be prepared to assist in the nominating process and make your desires known to the committee as to which position you would like to hold. The club is dependent on the members to run and organize our club activities and we need people to step up and accept these duties. I can assure you that any efforts you put forth will be rewarding and educational.
   There is still time to sign up for the NM State Fair either as a demonstrator or exhibitor. Contact Bill Mantelli of the NMWT at 298 2603 for more information.
    The Club has been officially recognized by the IRS as a non profit organization. This will open many opportunities to the club not the least of which is acceptance of charitable donations. Please keep this in mind in your year end financial planning actions. This will be discussed more at the meting.
      Don’t forget to bring your latest and greatest for the Instant Gallery.

Keep on Turning,
Alan

AAW Safety – Take Responsibility!

Safety is YOUR responsibility

1. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses that include side protectors. Use a full faceshield for bowl, vessel, or any turning involving chucks and faceplates.
2. Fine particles from a grinder and wood dust are harmful to your respiratory system. Use a dust mask, air filtration helmet, proper ventilation, dust collection system, or a combination of these to deal with this serious issue. Be especially mindful of dust from many exotic woods, spalted woods, or any wood from which you notice a skin or respiratory reaction.
3. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of turning.
4. Turn the lathe off before adjusting the tool rest or tool rest base, i.e., banjo.
5. Remove chuck keys, adjusting wrenches, and knockout bars. Form a habit of checking for these before turning on the lathe.
6. Tie back long hair; do not wear gloves; and avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or any dangling objects that may catch on rotating parts or accessories.
7. When using a faceplate, be certain the workpiece is solidly mounted with stout screws (#10 or #12 sheet metal screws as a minimum). Do not use dry wall or deck screws. When turning between centers, be certain the workpiece is firmly mounted between the headstock driving center and tailstock center.
8. Ensure the belt guard or cover is in place.
9. Check that all locking devices on the tailstock and tool rest assembly (rest and base) are tight before operating the lathe.
10. Ensure the blank is securely fastened.
11. Rotate your workpiece by hand to make sure it clears the toolrest and bed before turning the lathe on. Be certain that the workpiece turns freely and is firmly mounted. A handwheel on the headstock simplifies this process of spinning the lathe by hand before turning on the switch.
12. Be aware of what turners call the “red zone” or “firing zone.” This is the area directly behind and in front of the workpiece, the areas most likely for a piece to travel as it comes off the lathe. A good safety habit is to step out of this zone when turning on the lathe, keeping your hand on the switch in case you need to turn the machine off. When observing someone else turn, stay out of this zone.
13. Always check the speed of the lathe before turning it on. Use slower speeds for larger diameters or rough pieces and higher speeds for smaller diameters and pieces that are balanced. Always start a piece at a slower speed until the workpiece is balanced. If the lathe is shaking or vibrating, lower the speed. If the workpiece vibrates, always stop the machine to verify why. As a starting point, consult your operator’s manual for recommended speeds for a particular lathe. Ensure the lathe speed is compatible with the size of the blank.
14. Exercise extra caution when using stock with cracks, splits, checks, bark pockets, knots, irregular shapes, or protuberances. Beginners should avoid these types of stock until they have greater knowledge of working such wood.
15. Hold turning tools securely on the toolrest, holding the tool in a controlled but comfortable manner. Always contact the tool rest with the tool before contacting the wood.
16. Note that, when running a lathe in reverse, it is possible for a chuck or faceplate to unscrew unless it is securely tightened or locked on the lathe spindle.
17. Know your capabilities and limitations. An experienced woodturner is capable of lathe speeds, techniques, and procedures not recommended for beginning turners.
18. Always remove the tool rest before sanding, finishing, or polishing operations.
19. Don’t overreach, keep proper footing, and keep your balance at all times.
20. Keep lathe in good repair. Check for damaged parts, alignment, binding of moving parts, and other conditions that may affect its operation.
21. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Don’t force a dull tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose that it was not designed for or intended for.
22. Consider your work environment. Don’t use a lathe in damp or wet locations. Do not use in presence of inflammable liquids or gases, and always keep a fully-charged fire extinguisher close at hand. Keep your work area well lit.
23. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Pay close attention to unusual sounds or vibrations. Stop the lathe to investigate the cause. Don’t operate machines when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
24. Guard against electric shock. Inspect electric cords for damage. Avoid the use of extension cords.
25. Never leave the lathe running unattended. Turn power off. Don’t leave lathe until it comes to a complete stop.
26. Many accidents to woodturners occur while using saws, especially band and chain saws. Learn and follow the safety guidelines for this equipment.

AAW Grant Auction – Submit a Photo by 3-7-2014 for consideration

Changes Ahead for EOG Symposium Auction  June 13 -15 2014 in Phoenix

Fundraising has gone global for many organizations, and in 2014 the AAW will be joining the movement by putting the Educational Opportunity Grant auction online! The EOG program is a vital part of the AAW, offering grants for instruction, equipment, travel, and special events to AAW members, local chapters, and educational organizations.

The new auction format is expected to increase exposure and expand the audience beyond symposium attendees. The artwork will be selected from work submitted in advance, instead of at the symposium, and will be available for viewing and bidding before and during the live auction at the AAW symposium in Phoenix. The Instant Gallery silent auction will continue as it has in the past.

The AAW is proud to announce the panel that will be making the selections: JoAnn Edwards, director of the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco, owner of Tercera Galleries, and former board member of the Furniture Society; MaryAnn Hruska, Collectors of Wood Art (CWA) Lifetime Achievement award winner and former president of Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts’ board of directors; and Jane and Arthur Mason, CWA Lifetime Achievement award winners whose well-known collection is featured in the book and traveling exhibition, “Turning Wood Into Art.”

Applying to have a piece considered for the auction is free. Deadline for submissions is March 7, 2014. Watch woodturner.org/symposium for the link to apply.
