Are you going to manage up, Pete ?

Not this year, unless I get some huge order from a gallery. so not very likely.

Pity, it's a good time and plenty of new faces, tricks and skills to be found.

I was only kidding Simon,but if you feel like trying your hand again now/then would be a good time to

 

[joiner_sim]

haha, we'll see if I'm feeling confident enough

 

[Paul.J]

TWO WEEKS to go :shock:
Getting closer.Westonbirt next week than Bashday the weekend after
So it looks like we will be doing varied things on the day from Photography to Hollowing but again if anyone wants to see or do something let us know.
I will be opening the shop at 9ish so we can get a good day in,but we will just see you when we see you
Lunch will be around 1ish and there will no doubt be plenty of tea/coffee throughout the day so i will still have me little helpers again

Paul.J (known locally as brummie Paul in our house we know a few pauls :roll: ) has asked me to put together a brief summary of things i'm going to babble on about in my informal hollow turning escapade/demo :shock:

well i'm no expert on hollowing but i'll try to cover:

types of tools
outside shape/profile
safe working pratice
wet/dry wood
drying
wood storage
finishing
end grain/side grain
how to get the best blank from the log
small hole's
natural edge
roughing out
work holding
wall thickness

you get the idea- all things hollow form

plus i can also show how to chase a thread- I cant do them that fit together yet :roll: but i can chase one :wink:
