Bedside Lamp, Kevin Hodder - 25 October, 2011

Kevin started his demonstration witha talk about four things we should thinkabout when making a bedside lamp.These are dimensions, size/shape,wood, wiring - all of these need to bedecided before starting.

Kevin had laminated someMacrocarpa into a rough base and anupstand to make a small bedside lamp.He put this on the lathe and proceededto shape the base.

He suggested that the base should be1/3 and the upstand 2/3 and thesewould be good proportions

There was quite a lot of discussionabout whether the wiring could gothrough a hole in the side of the baseor to cut a groove in the bottom of thebase.

Kevin reminded us that if you use steelfittings you must have an earth.

Kevin turned a spigot on the base sothat he could show us how to drill ahole right through the upstand andbase. To do this he used a homemadetool about a metre long.

Standing at the tailstock end with thetool going through the tailstock, Kevingently pushed the tool through, pullingit back quite often to clear the dust andshavings from the hole.

Kevin didn’t try to complete the lampbut certainly gave us many things tothink about if we want to try one atsome time in the future. Thank youKevin.

Edwin had brought along somefinished pendant and earring setswhich he showed us at the start of theevening. He explained that the designand shape is open to your imagination.

Other materials, like acrylic or bone,can be incorporated into the designof the jewellery.

Edwin put a small block of wood onthe lathe to start making an earring.After turning it down to the requireddiameter, he then brought the tailstockup with a drill bit in it to drill out thecentre. This could also be taken outwith a chisel if you prefer.

Edwin also drilled a small holethrough the side of the earring to takethe hanger at a later stage. All the

fittings for making jewellery areavailable at Spotlight or bead shops.

The wood that Edwin was using wassheoak. After some sanding Edwinsealed it with Fishy’s sealer and then

polished it with EEE, and parted theearring off.

A small piece of acrylic was then puton the chuck to make a small ball forthe centre decoration of the earring.This was polished with Brasso whilestill on the lathe.

Thank you Edwin for the demon-stration. Hopefully it will inspire someof us to try to make some jewellery.

A guest for the evening, RaeleyneRushton, came along to explain howshe had hand painted wooden pen-dants made by Kevin Watson. Thesewere very well done and individuallyboxed to make an excellent present.Thank you Raeleyne.

Well, spent the weekend learning about carving with Mike Davies. Mike is a highly qualified carver from England,where he regularly writes for Traditional Woodworking magazine. I need to learn more about carving as I want to useit to embellish my turnings. Learnt heaps over the two days. Now it’s just about practice, practice and more practice.Guess it’s the same as woodturning where “Time on the Lathe” is the only way to really get better at my craft.

Show and Tell – 8 November 2011

Ian Fish

This week we were treated to part oneof two week’s demonstrations by IanFish, a legend in his own lifetime.

(Which is different to the BritishPolitician Michael Foot, who was oncedescribed as a leg-end in his ownlifetime).

His topic was ‘thin-walled bowls’.

First Ian gave us some background tothe woodturning scene when hestarted. The range of artisticenhancements was much less at thattime, with most woodturnersconcentrating on the range offundamental bowl shapes.

He moved from the more sturdy bowlscurrent at the time to the thinner bowls(he gave 2 - 3mm as an example of his

typical thin-walled bowl thickness)because of the pleasure he got bothfrom ‘look’ as well as ‘feel’.

Almost all of his thin-walled bowlswere cut from cross-grain wood as hefelt that the end result had a moreinteresting grain pattern.

PREPARATION: These were some ofthe guidelines he found worked best forthin-walled bowls.

Rough turn the wood, leave it to season(stored out of a draft) then give asecond turn a month before the finalturn. This minimises the chances ofdistortion.

He always turned out plenty of blanksso he had a ready supply.

The seasoning period must never beminimised - 1-2 years or more wastypical, and a 20% weight loss was

typical in that time.

He used up to 6 different types ofwrapping / treatment techniques, e.g.Mobil Ser alone, Mobil Ser +newspaper, Mobil Ser + newspaper +Glad wrap, depending on the woodand the moisture content, and wouldremove the wrappings at 6 monthlyintervals.

He did use ‘fancy’ wood but felt thatthe craft of the bowl alone should beable to sell it.

For the thin-walled bowls, tomaximise the chance of success heexamined it carefully for uniformity.He didn’t want any knots, cracks orinclusions.

Cracks are deceptive and always seemto go far further than you think.

MOUNTING: If you use a screwchuck you must be much more carefulthat the face is perfectly flat than witha face plate. You may need to placethe blank between centres to do thisclean-up first.

It is worthwhile mounting the woodto spend a bit of time bringing up thetail stock, rotating the wood, adjustingand repeating until you get a cleanrotation.

He uses parallel self-tapping screwsfor face plates, type ‘T17’.


www.wood.org.nz

TURNING: Yes, you need good sharptool, yes it helps to have a good lathe,solidly placed. Bolting it down can beuseful but is not a necessity.

MOST important is your basic toolwork - using LEGS not arms.

Turning speed - faster is generallybetter for cleaner cuts. If you get‘bounce’ for example, increase thespeed.

The tool rest height is generallyaround half the diameter of the toolbelow centre.

TOOLS: Those with good solid shaftsare preferable as they are moreforgiving.

11th Commandment: Thou shalt rubthe bevel at all times withdetermination and persistence! ONLYprofessionals break this rule(successfully!) and then veryoccasionally when they have muchexperience.

FIRST CUTS: Place the rest at anangle to the blank, and use a pull cutfrom the centre outwards. Ian used a35deg 16mm bowl gouge for this.

Try to do single cuts, not lots of littleones as they tend to ‘savage’ the wood.

He emphasised feet position (apart forgood stability and balance) one handholding the tool to the hip and usingthe body weight, controlled by thelegs, to do the cut.

Over and over again he said to thinkabout controlling through the legs andnot giving way to using the arms.

MOUNT POINT FOR CHUCK:When creating the spigot to be heldby the chuck the two most importantpoints are the undercut corner for thechuck and the immediately adjacentface of the bowl base, so that the jawsfit snugly into the undercut and againstthe face at the same time.

Be careful to see how the grain runsin the spigot. If the grain is at an angleto the chuck, then you may have muchless holding power than you think.

For any cross-grain spigot, look at theangle of the grain, be aware of it andbe extra careful.

This includes not overtightening thechuck as this can crush the spigotunevenly and lead to making the bowlout-of-centre.

PROCESS: Ian never finished theoutside before roughing out the inside.As the stress is relieved it can lead tobulges/distortions, which if badenough may leave you with the onlychoice of a thicker design.

He uses a 35 deg bowl gouge on theoutside and a 55 deg inside, even whenroughing.

If he was turning today, he thinks hewould use 3 angles, 30/50/70.

When turning the face he used the 55deg bowl gouge in a series of cuts fromthe outside in, and also using the gougeto take off the sharp edge of the rim toprevent being cut by it.

Next he continued in the orthodox waymaking a series of cuts, each workingtowards the middle and starting eachsuccessive cut closer to the edge. Thishe continued in a series of stepsworking his way down the bowl.

He said he often left a spigot or adovetailed hole at the base for latergripping using long jaws so he couldfinish the outside in preference to Colejaws or a vacuum chuck.

Ian Fish 15/11/11 Thin-walled bowlspart 2

Ian continued with his discussion ofleaving a spigot or a dovetailed holeat the base of the bowl (inside).

He often did this and used a set of long-nosed (70mm) jaws, and he found thetechnique very very useful.

If a bowl dries up out of true anddistorts the dovetailed hole, mount thebase in the jaws and using a 35mmbowl gouge clean up the hole - in, turn,once across should do it beforeremounting on the long jaws on theinside.

STANCE: Ian returned several times tothe theme of stance and presentation.

Get the height of the lathe right -

turning centre at elbow height.

Position the feet apart in a comfortableand stable position.

Hold the tool with the handle againstthe body

Move the body from the LEGS, guidethe movement of the tool with theLEGS not the arms.

TURNING THE OUTSIDE: Whenturning commercially he would doabout 3 continuous cuts using a 55 degbowl gouge.

The 35 deg cuts more wood, but hefound the 55 deg was more comfort-able to use.

He also re-emphasised using heaviergauge tools where possible, e.g. 13mmthick shafts, particularly for hard and/or uneven wood as it helps to minimise‘bounce’ as there is more mass.

TO GET A CRISP CORNER: (wherethe base meets the curve of the bowl)

With the handle down move the tip totouch the edge of the base sticking outfrom the bowl. As it touches lift thehandle and push forward to the corner,then drop the handle, rotate the toolanti-clockwise and pull cut (sheer cut)around the bowl to the lip. The sheercut is away from the tip of the tooltowards the side.

The base should have a slight inclineon it (larger at the bowl, smaller at thefoot) - it looks better.

Use the fastest speed with which youare comfortable, and move the toolslowly and deliberately.

With cross-grain bowls the cut mustbe slow - if you move it too quicklythe tool will tear the fibres rather thancut (and also if the tool is not sharpenough).

The tool must be presented at a speedthat will both cut the fibres and allowthen to be cleared away so they do notobstruct.

If you do get end-tears, after you sandyou will find that the tears usually godeeper than your sanding.

For successive cuts, feather them ingently working out to the lip. If youget this right you can then start yoursanding with 120 grit.

The final cut shavings should be almostflying off towards your chin with thecut finishing near the tip of the tool.

Thin walled Bowl, Ian Fish, Pt 2 - 15 November 2011

Do not be concerned if the cut leavestool polishing marks as they willalmost certainly sand out.

WALL THICKNESS: As a rule-of-thumb, when the wall thickness getsdown to around 4mm or less, itbecomes plastic. The pressure of thetool means the wood moves away, andwhen it starts moving that is as far asyou can go.

Most bowls which are end-grain canbe done quickly when wet and can besupported, whereas cross-grain ismore tricky.

To control the warping and distortionwhile turning thin-walled bowls Ianmade up a series of plywood rings.These had a slight bevel on the insideedge and a strip of draft-excluderrubber.

These can slide up the ouside of thebowl to hold it true (sized to stop ashort distance from the top of thebowl). The outside of the plywood ring

was rounded and sanded so that Iancould use his hand to steady the ringand bowl while turning the bowl tofit it and true it up.

FINISHING THE INSIDE: Ian usedan asymmetric rest. He cleaned up thelip to prevent getting cut by the sharpedge.

He then presented the tool handledown until it just touched the wood,then slowly raised the handle thenproceeded to cut slowly andcautiously down the side to thebottom of the bowl.

Use your ears. If you meet resistancetry subtle changes to the presentation(slight tool rotation), or moving thehandle slightly up or down. Even slowthe cut or stop until it goes right, thenproceed as before.

Remember to slow the chisel thecloser you get to the middle, as thespeed is slower. The course of thechisel tip from edge to middle is aslightly sideways ‘S’, starting at theedge at the height of the centre,moving downwards below the linethen through it and upwards above thecentre line finally down to the middle.

SANDING: Go through the grits -120/180/240/320/400, no more than10 -12 seconds on each.

If you use a sanding drill remember

the bowl is moving most quickly atthe edge and slowly at the middle sovary the amount of sandingaccordingly. Move the sander moreslowly at the edge then more quicklyas you approach the middle. If yousand evenly you can end up taking outtoo much at the bottom.

Typically a tiny pimple will be left atthe very bottom of the bowl, this canbe sanded out with 240 grit later.

All in all Ian’s enthusiasm, goodhumour plus his enormous fund ofknowledge and his willingness toshare made both parts of his demo areal pleasure.

Thank you Ian.

Trefor’s organisation of volunteers tohelp the people of Glenfield spendtheir Christmas dosh on turnedwooden objects was exemplary. Ateam to set up in the morning andwork through until after the mid-dayrush, another team to arrive justbefore the rush, take it through to theend and then break down the stall andreturn all to the Hut. Perfect!

All came to nought though becauseeveryone was having such a goodtime that nobody left! President Lesand ‘first lady’ Sandy on the ‘top’table with toys and bowls, under thegazebo Den and Sue, with Kevin andTrefor covering the ‘bottom’ table andoffering amazing bargains on sets offour toys for the extremely popularprice of $15, and Dave hovering inthe background keeping an eye onproceedings and generally having achat.

Sandy and Les’s contribution of cakesto keep everyone going was, ofcourse, gratefully received.

The star of the show by a long margin

was, obviously, Ian on the mini lathewho entertained and fascinated acontinual audience of youngsters andtheir parents by producing spinningtops, deftly and skilfully wielding thelargest skew chisel I have ever seen.This process was further enhancedwhen I remembered I’d brought thecoloured pens along, so now the kidscould specify which colour theywanted on ‘their’ top and weredelighted with their bespoke goods.

Very quickly Ian found that he couldnot only offer coloured rings, butspirals, by switching the lathe off andrunning the pen across the top justbefore it stopped - timing was criticalof course and defined how tight thespiral was. Not content with that, thenext development was two-colouredspirals - a quick flick of the on switchafter the first colour and there we haveit, a second spiral.

So now we had the kids dreaming upall kinds of sophisticated colourcombinations for their delectation andamusement. We had blue and black,pink and purple, red and green; the

audience totally absorbed with fixedgaze on the emerging ‘butterfly’ oftheir very own coloured top.

Back on the tables the pre-preparedtops were also selling well at a dollara go, but the honey dippers, as Trefornoted, last year we couldn’t getenough of them, were this year out offavour. Fashion is so fickle!

Pepi’s vases with inset bands werepounced upon and an appreciativeconstant stream of present-buyingyoungsters and parents soon clearedjust about all of the varied selectionof donated products, with one verydisappointed lad who came wantingone of Jack’s Christmas trees afterwe’d sold the last one.

Of course it was all helped along bythe fact that it was such a gorgeoussunny day; possibly we wouldn’t havehad such a good time if it had all beena bit soggy. Fund raising can’t getmore fun than this!

Cathy Langley, from South AucklandWood Turners Guild, came over toexplain to members the AorakiWoodturning Certificate, run bySAWG.

This is a 4 year course available towood turners, linked to AorakiPolytech in Dunedin.

Cathy explained that the courseconsisted of - bandsaw, tools, spindleturning, bowls, chucking, hollowing,anything and everything to do withwoodturning.

Several members from North ShoreGuild have enrolled for the course,some in their second year. All havefound the classes very informativeand challenging, and are pleased theydecided to start.

The rest of the evening was a practicalnight, and members were busyworking on finishing off the toys forthe Salvation Army Christmas box.

Greame Mackay’s imagination andartistic talents showed how a piece offirewood can be turned intosomething interesting and stunning.

The picture shows mainly pepperwood which would normally bedestined for the fire. Formed into avariety of pieces.

Here Graeme mounted a piece of offcentre pepperwood and explainedhow to stop vibration by usingpacking inside the bowl. He alsoexplained the three key rules whenturning pieces with craters and largeholes.

The rules are. . .

1. Listen to the wood while you areturning it

2. Feel the wood3. Relook and again feel the wood

This explained as. . .

When listening you are listening forchanges in sound along the wood.

When feeling the wood you arefeeling for cracks, loose pieces, piecesfalling off, bark inclusions.

When re looking at the piece oftimber after a few cuts you are lookingfor movement, discolouration cracksand faults.

Graeme prefers to use pepper woodbecause of the stability of the holeshowever, in some cases he explainedthat he has to use resins to make theholes and splits stable.

In this picture Graeme demonstrateshow to take small cuts and avoiddriving into the timber. He holds thetool between the fingers and takesmall cuts. Graeme then mounted a

small block into the lathe and begantaking small cuts to create a foot,feeling and testing for voids as hewent, emphasising at all times to takesmall cuts.

The next step was to mount aLongworth chuck into the lathe.Greame demonstrated how to hold abowl using the Longworth chuck toturn the foot and finish the bowl. Oneof Greame’s suggestions was usingGladwrap to hold the bowl in place.This stops any movement; anycracking and also reduces pressure tohold the bowl.

Greame finished off the evening byexplaining how he was planning tocreate a vase using a shaped piece ofpepperwoodwhich hewould gluefurther pieceto, therebycreating alarger blockto work with.

Once again we would like to thankGreame for another interesting andinformative night.

Michael needed to learn to bendtimber as his daughter had asked himto try and make her a guitar. As he hadfound some scrap purple heart offcuts,he thought that these would be a goodtimber to try.

He took these to a friend and planedthem down to 1-2mm thick, which hehas found is a good thickness to bend.

As he didn’t know much about woodbending, it was a case of try a few ideasfirst and then start some research.

You need to really soak the timber first –about 20 minutes so that it is really wet.

Michael had made up a length of100mm pipe in which he put a tray ofcotton wool soaked in meths and lit itto heat the pipe.

Then, once the pipe is hot, hold thethin wood on the pipe and bend itaround, using a small block of woodto protect your fingers. As the wood

End of term night this year started offwith a barbecue at 6.00pm to whichfamily and especially grandchildren,were invited.

Julie Gannaway looked after the foodordering with sausages, meat patties,rolls and bread and lots of other thingsto go on them. Terry Denvers tookcharge of the cooking department withsome help from others now and then,and other members helped whereneeded.

There was quite a bit of rain on thenight, but with a big umbrella over thebarbecue and the hall cleared to makeindoor space, it was a great night.Members had brought along a greatselection of cakes and sweet things tobe nibbled on as the eveningprogressed.Dave Dernie hadorganised several games to keep thechildren busy with fishing for bottlesof drink and candy canes and wiresculptures which beeped if you madea mistake while negotiating them.

The early evening was a roaringsuccess with many children andfamilies attending and taking part inthe games and eating the cookeddelights.

As usual, the toy tables were filledwith all sorts of wooden toys. Thesewere handed over to a representativefrom the Salvation Army who told usthat this year there were even morefamilies in need of help.

Later on a brazier was lit and thechildren, and some adults, roastedmarshmallows on the fire.

Santa Claus also turned up and lots ofthe children and many of the adultssat on his knee. He gave away sweetsand other goodies to all present

The evening ended with voting andprizegiving on the items on the Show& Tell table that members had made.
