Challenge Project and Show & Tell The challenge project was either a Turned Tool Handle or a Salt box or Both Gerry Werner Started the proceedings by showing several tool handles, He has to offer a Turning chisel handle, a Carvers tool handle and not shown sanding discs handles, it doesn't look like Gerry is going to let his new lathe sit idle.
Larry Truesdale proudly showed several Salt Boxes turned from various woods, shapes and sizes George Paes presented a different change for him and that being a handle with a collet feature to allow for changing the actual tools with the one solo handle. Yet to be tested
Yes, I said several, there were more only not photographed
Paul Knupp relatively new to turning & CCW proudly showed a Segmented bowl that he made under the teaching of Bill Kandler, not bad for a Rookie. With this product, what will we expect down the road. Well Done!
Rick Hasseman has gone a few steps further to enhance his work. He is now using glass rods, melting them to a shape he prefers and adds them to the turnings. He is also using fine wire and coiling into Coil like shapes and combining with the glass. What s next?
Gordon Rowland has his eyes set on a MULTI USE handle. He is incorporating a two ended handle by boring two different diameter mounting holes. Gordon further turned this handle on a multi center axis for grip feel and to prevent the tool to roll away.
Ernie Miller brought back from his trip to Rotary Engine Lathe symposium show a high strength switchable magnet. More info will be forth coming on its use, We hope?
NO, It s not candy, these are some Glass designs created by Rick Hasseman, a close up of Rick s bead work Gerry Werner has offered for the asking Deer antlers and abalone shells that can be used in turning embellishments
