Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 12:40PM OMG!! I've been away for a year. Lets fix that and get back in the game!!
I am so sorry that I have been away for so long. But I am back now. I'll be recording a new podcast this week. I'm also video taping some hands on demo segments.
The drought is about over... Again, Thank you for being more than patient with me!!
Happy Turning.....
Friday, April 23, 2010 at 03:00PM I must apologize deeply for the lack of activity here. I have not dropped off the edge of Earth!! Just been very busy lately with not much time to get into the shop.
I do want to get out and start a series on bowls. We have spent time so far on spindle turning, including small hollow vessels. Its time now to look at face work, or cross-grain turning. I'll post some diagrams in the notes section and get a some pod casts up introducing the concepts, tools, and methods of face turning, then we'll get to work and turn a simple bowl out of Box Elder.
Keep turning!!!
Sunday, February 28, 2010 at 10:48PM I have just posted the second and final part of the eccentric (off-axis) stemmed goblet project. This was a lot of fun and easy to do. Give it a try!!
Happy and Safe Turning!!
Sunday, February 21, 2010 at 05:13PM I am so sorry that I was gone for over a month. I am back and have posted the first of a two part series on turning a goblet with an eccentric, or off-axis, stem. The completed piece is in the photo gallery. I will post the second part in a few days.
I am also working on some stone inlay embellishement. Look for that soon as well.
Happy Turning!!!
