October 2017 club meeting:
Guy Michaels - Alabaster forms
|
|
|
| |
Alabaster is the stone of choice.
An excellent dust collection system is required.
A wood ring bonded to the stone works well and looks good.
The wood is segmented and pieced so that no end grain is exposed,
otherwise absorbed moisture will cause the wood to detach fron the stone.
The form of the piece is of great importance.

Duncan MacMillan's thoughts about WBW
|
|
WBW is quite simply a place to meet with others of likely greater skill and those just picking up skills.
The common interest is turning wood from something on its way back to nature into our own works of art.
Well, art sometimes happens by design or luck or simply the eye of the beholder.
For a newcomer to the hobby, WBW is a safe place to meet
- no judgments or rankings of skill,
just folks who enjoy a common hobby and are willing to ask and answer questions, swap tales and generally help out.
Most of all, while there are members who turn on their lathes weekly, perhaps daily,
there are plenty of us who need the meetings to keep an oar in the water or
to have a routine way of staying in the boat, so to speak.
This incentive is better than letting skills or lathes languish without a reason to keep them turning.
The member and "professional" demos from touring woodturners are valuable ways to learn best (and safest) practices.
Far easier than getting around to reading or even finding time to watch a DVD,
the demos offer interesting forums and an excuse to get the learning job done...and to have lunch as well,
in the case of most Saturday and Sunday sessions.
Less obvious opportunities exist for helping WBW by standing for one of the club's board or committee activities.
You don't have to be an expert woodturner to serve on the board. There isn't even a lathe in the meetings, after all.
The time requirement for board meetings is not a big add-on, with only
four meetings per year.
Think about it, especially now with elections around the corner.
