Club Meeting and live Demo by Ed Pretty:
Tuesday June 9th, at 6.30pm
Topic summary:
1. “Beyond ABC”: The focus is on improving tool control in bowl turning. It is an in-depth explanation of those things that aren't covered when someone talks about Anchor, Bevel, Cut. I presented this demo at the AAW 2018 symposium in Portland, Oregon. The demo time is 1.5 to 2 hours.
a. I explain and show how the legs are used to power and steer cuts rather than powering only with the arms.
b. I explain and demonstrate how the front hand and back hand have two different jobs. This is pertinent to all turners but also helps me a lot when teaching left handers bowl turning.
c. I demonstrate and explain when to engage the tool rest with your forward hand and when not. Many turners have anchored themselves to the tool rest completely which greatly hinders their ability to control the tool.
d. I explain the two causes of catches by breaking them down logically into action/reaction. All of this relates directly to spindle turning as well. For bowl turners it eliminates the issue of ruining the rim on the last interior cut as well as the dreaded catch about 3/4 the way up the outside.
