Hello fellow woodturners
The Aphasia Center of Ottawa (Description below) is holding their 1st ever craft sale in early November - they have asked if any of our members could possibly donate small items $20.00-$40.00 range to help them raise funds to maintain their very important work. Bart Poulter will be collecting donations at the October Club meeting Oct. 9th Your support would be greatly appreciated. "Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder. A person with aphasia may find it difficult to speak, understand spoken words, to read and to write. Aphasia can be caused suddenly by stroke or trauma to the brain or can come about more gradually as a result of a neurodegenerative disease, or sometimes an unknown cause. Our professional staff provide appropriate levels of support no matter what the language difficulty. A person with aphasia is not the only one affected. At ACO we take a family-focused approach where the relationship between the person with aphasia and their closest contacts is priority. At ACO we support people with aphasia in all aspects of community and family life. We offer a wide range of programming for people living with aphasia and their families." |

The Ottawa Valley Woodturners are very pleased to announce
Joe Ruminski Demonstration
Saturday Sept 29th 2018
Under the guidance of one of North Carolina’s foremost woodturners & educators take your skill set to the next level. Joe’s demonstrations have three main focuses, safety, tool control and the best practices for sharing your skills with others (Mentoring/teaching). He will go through 8 to 10 different projects that start with the basic and end up with advanced turning projects, set up in a sequential teaching process during the program. Each one builds on the skills from the previous project and adds to it. The demonstration is very fast paced so that participants can see how to approach several different skills and techniques used in woodturning. There will be something for everyone. The thing Joe enjoys the most about turning is being able to share with others and help them gain turning skills. Questions are encouraged and the more interaction the better.
The Saturday Demonstration (open to all) will be @ Confederation Education Centre, 1645 Woodroffe Ave, Ottawa, in the cafeteria. The session will run 9:00a.m – 4:00p.m. Doors open @ 8:15 am. It’s only $50.00 including a light lunch. You must pre-register.

Do not be disappointed by missing out on this great event! All registration will be based on first come-first served until it is sold out
Joe, who lives in Asheville, North Carolina, began turning when he was 13 and restarted at 50 when he began turning professionally after retiring in 2002. He has worked with the AAW youth program for 11 years as their Youth Program Chair and has received the very prestigious AAW “Honorary Lifetime Membership” award. He’s in constant demand as an instructor and has done numerous demonstrations and classes across the United States including Arrowmont and the John C. Campbell Schools
Throughout the demonstration safety and sharp tools are stressed. Long tedious turning processes are avoided by using partially completed forms along the way.
Topics that will be discussed:
⦁ When to use different mounting methods to hold the wood in place safely: Tenon or Recess, face plate or chuck, jam chuck or jumbo jaws. How to mount multiple center turnings.
⦁ Know what your tools can do well and what not to do with them. Spindle gouge or bowl gouge, Spindle roughing gouge for what? Which tool for finish work? What sharpening angle should I use on which tool? I need how many tools? Not as many as you think!
⦁ How to add a little color to some bland wood for a little interest.
Some of the possible projects are listed below, with a short description about the skill. He does little if any sanding because Joe wants to spend time teaching the turning process. Some of these projects may change due to materials available but this is a typical outline. None of these projects are large in size. He feels it is more important to teach the process than take the time to make it big. The skill set you will learn is priceless:
⦁ The ball and cup toy – Introduction to the art of turning. Use of a wooden drive spur, many ways to use a spindle roughing gouge, burning wire, and colouring with a marker.
⦁ Wide rim ring bowl -Tool bevel and problems it causes
⦁ Wide rim off-center bowl - Looks harder, but it is not. Easy remount for off center turning. Mounting, using a Forstner drill bit, homemade point tool & turning small bowls without bevel bruising.
⦁ Christmas tree ornament - Mini Hollowing tools and delicate spindles
⦁ Miniature wall hanging - Detail planning before you start. - Uses four different centers, reverse turning, mounting on a worm screw, and turning with a low RPM Rate
⦁ Wooden jewelry Pendants - Make money with scrap wood. Mount blanks with double sided tape & do off-centre turning using a homemade wooden chuck
⦁ Wooden side grain boxes - Fitting the lid and holding it together with tape while turning. Get the fit right the first time without measuring (most of the time)
⦁ Small two piece hollow form: Introduction to hollowing. See what the tool is doing and understand how it works. Make strong joint to connect two halves.
⦁ Long spindles made easy - Light touch and keep it simple - A 1.1 meter long spindle where the beads are about 5 mm diameter. Turn long spindles with a pass through the headstock method.
⦁ The goblet project will demonstrate how to: hollow with a spindle gouge, add a different color rim and start with the hollowing before shaping the outside. It is really easier.
