Santa Fe High School – Club Project 2015

Alan Turns a Fast one!
Dave and Cleve

Several members, Dave, Allan and Cleve in particular have really been busy for about a month.  They have firmed up a project with the Santa Fe High School.  The wood workshop has several lathes, tools, and accessories.  These TEW members have gotten together with the teacher (Dana R.) and the principal to work out a plan for community support of the project.

Here are a few pics taken during the first day of demonstrations at the school.  In two 90 minute class periods over 50 students really enjoyed seeing spindle and bowl turning.  And in one case, bowl flying!

2015 January 12 – Meeting Announcement

Monday- 6PM- Jan 12, 2014   Enchanted Woodturners Meeting

Nancy Rodriguez Community Center

 Al Mirman will show how to make, from scratch start to finish, a hollow vessel using the Trent Bosch Visualizer system.  Watch the video | http://trentbosch.com/introducing-the-trent-bosch-visualizer/ 

What’s different about Trent’s Visualizer?  On a TV screen you can and will see exactly where the cutting tool is inside the vessel, which gives you absolute precision wall thicknesses. (You can use a computer screen at home if you don’t have a TV).
Scratch start to finish means: 1.  how to prepare the blank for hollowing;  2.  hollowing the vessel using the Trent’s stabilizing system ( i.e. a contraption like Lyle Jamieson’s or anyone else’s, except this is Trent’s contraption)   3.  post hollowing finishing.

This will be a fabulous demonstration!

The Nancy Rodriguez Community Center, 1 Prairie Dog Loop.

The meeting will start promptly at 6PM with a buffet and open bar, so be on time!

David

P.S.  Come and cheer for the longevity of your new officers, you may be nominated to fill a vacancy.

Santa Fe High – Turning Project – Wood Donations! 12-2014

Dave Wahl is creating some therapy boards for a Bruce Mazur patient:

Chris & Cai Clow

1413ACaminoSierrra Vista 87505  505-690-3053

They run a Tree Service, dealing mostly with fruit trees, (removal pruning shaping planting training bracing, mulching and fertilization).

They will give us wood for the students, but is usually small diameter, but sometimes large Cherry.

Some other wood sources beside Robert Coates, check out the photos of their site, it looks like a lot of “cut offs” from large vigas we could get.
