Tom, Scott & Steve with Finished Pieces
Here are 3 students with the pieces they made in my class on Thursday
3/22/2018.
Left to right. Tom, Scott, and Steve.
They were taking my "2018 Winter Woodturning Workshop"
class in my Studio in Poughkeepsie NY.
Scott was a new student. Scott very quickly became a very good turner.
Tom and Steve are both very good turners. They have taken the same
class over and over a couple of times. We just keep doing more and more
complex things. They enjoy coming to the class for fun and camaraderie.
Tom made a Vase out of Ambrosia Maple. The shape was from a photo I
took in Portugal of some pottery.
Scott made a "Natural-Edge Vase" from page 101 of Mark
Baker's "Weekend Woodturning Projects" book.
Steve made a "Burr Oak Bowl" in Maple (not Burr Oak) from
page 131 of John Hunnex's "Woodturning Forms & Materials"
book.
Scott Cutting Out the Top of the Vase
I took a couple of action shots for each student. I am just going to
present them with no commentary.
I was too busy teaching to take more photos.
Tom Hollowing Out the Inside (Lathe Stopped)
Tom is using my Hollowing Rig. For more info see my “Carl’s TV Hollowing Rig” blog entry.
Note: I have 2 of these Hollowing Rigs. Thus 2 out of 3 students in
each class can use my Hollowing Rig. I plan to getting a 3rd Hollowing Rig,
if I run into a real need for it.
Remember, the camera adds at least 20lbs. Couldn’t possibly be the buregers, fries or whiskey.
The classes, instructor, fellow students and equipment are all first class.
seeing those pictures started me thinking about the fall class, can’t wait to get started. I really look forward
to your class each week because we have fun while learning and improving.
