Cindy showed ushow to make a small lidded box with oneof her signature finials. She also showedus how she sharpens her tools using aCBN wheel on our grinder. More aboutthat later.Cindy started out by showing us howto make various cuts with several different tools. All these cuts would be used inmaking the lidded box. She went intogreat detail on design elements and hadsome nice drawings to reinforce what shetalked about. Many of the design elements are related to scale, basic shapes,and some common sense.I am not going to try and write a stepby-step article about her demo. Therewas simply too much information sheconveyed. I’ll try and hit some of thehigh points along with pictures so youget the general idea.Cindy turned the finial section of thebox first. After some initial shaping, shestarted at the very top of the finial andworked her way down. The top is thethinnest part, andonce you turn asection down thatfar, you don’t goback. So takeyour time, be sureyou are in controlof your tool, and think before you cut.Cindy broke down the finial into sections and showed us how to shape eachone. She would finish each detail beforemoving on.After Cindy parted off the finial, shetook a smallblock of cocobolo to use asan insert whichwould becomea contrasting detail to the inside ofthe opening to the lidded box. It isthe red piece shown in the drawinghere. The small base on the bottomof the drawing is also taken out ofthe samepiece of cocobolo. Nothing is wasted.Several steps later, this iswhat the insert is startingto look like.Using some speciallyground tools, Cindy hasthe insert almost to finalshape. The fine edgeshown here is what willsurround the finial whenthe pieceis finished. Shemakes islook very easy.Next it was time to startshaping the box itself. Thisdidn’t really take too longat all. When dealing withsmall turnings, it is a goodidea to have all your steps inthe proper order and thinks 3or 4 steps ahead.

Afterremoving some waste from thebottom, shestartedshaping the leftoverpiece of cocobolo fromthe insert. A little finalsanding and here’s thefinished product. Verynice.overheat the tool. They are available indifferent grits and are supposed to last avery long time before they wear down.Cindy has these available for sale on herwebsite, which is listed below. I was veryimpressed with how sharp and smooth afinish the CBN wheel left on the tool. Shemade it look very quick and simple to do.But suffice to say, she has had plenty ofpractice.Cindy put on a very good demo, if youmissed it, try and catch her some time atone of the symposiums. She really knowsher tools and turning techniques, and is afine instructor also.Website address:Cindydrozda.comHere’s a picture of the CBN grindingwheel that Cindy used to sharpen her tools.They come in a number of different grits,this one happened to be 180. After settingthe initial angle of the tool rest, she dideverything else freehand. These CBNwheels are very intriguing. They are machined from steel, so they run true and arebalanced. They tend to absorb any heatfrom the sharpening process so as not to
Page 3NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSPresident’s TurnAn Opportunity to Experience a SymposiumThe 2015 AAWAnnual International Symposiumwill be held inPittsburgh nextJune. It will beginThursday, June25th and close Sunday the 28th andwill be my first experience at awoodturning symposium. I’ve heardthrough several of our club members that these events are not to bemissed, but I haven’t even made itto a regional one such as the OhioGuild’s near Cincinnati, or the Totally Turning event in SarasotaSprings, New York. Next year it willbe different.For our members who arenew to the club, and possibly evennew to turning, the main attractionsare the international professionalwoodturners who demonstrate, thegalleries of turned objects displayedto view or to purchase, and the vendors, some of whom will demonstrate in their own booth. The prosturn in rotations through the weekend and you choose who you willwatch and when. In betweendemos, you can check out the galleries, exhibitions, showcases, andthe vendor areas.Since Pittsburgh is relativelyclose, and it will be an opportunityfor me to see more well-known professional turners during one weekend than I normally see in a year,I’m planning on going. I don’t knowwhat the exact cost of this adventure will be, and the pro turners whowill demo are to be named later, butI’ll start saving some funds and lookforward to seeing at least a coupleof my fantasy league turners. Oneof our guys is planning on going tothree symposia next year, so Ishould be able to justify going toone of them, right?I’ll have another bit of incentive to attend next year, and so willyou. Since the AAW considersclubs within a couple hundred milesor so to be something akin to “localhosts”, we will be asked to helpmake the 2015 event a success.Not just by attending, but by volunteering to help with the severaldozen different functions that arepart of an international symposium.Think of the logistics involved inbringing a slew of pro turners andvendors into a convention hall tomeet with several thousand woodturning enthusiasts and maybe family and friends. It sounds like quitean effort.The Pittsburgh AAW chapter,Turners Anonymous, is alreadyworking on this since their clubmeets only a mile away from theDavid L. Lawrence ConventionCenter where all the action will takeplace. As a matter of fact, one oftheir members will visit us on Octo-
Page 4NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSPresident’s Turnber 4th to help get the ball rolling.David Dudney, the Symposium Liaison Chairman, will make a shortpresentation to us, explain what hasto be accomplished, answer ourquestions, and of course, enlist ourhelp. He attended the 2014 PhoenixSymposium so he will be up to dateon how the AAW currently handlesthis huge event.Dave told me that they willneed about 250 volunteers. As youcan imagine, they’ll need people tostuff and hand out informationalpackets, help with registration, AAWproduct sales, the Instant and Auction Galleries, the demonstrationrooms, the areas for teaching youngturners, and entertaining ourspouses. There will also be openings for us to assist with the videosystems, equipment and tool functions, grinder set-up, local woodprocurement, and demonstrator andvendor assistance.I’ve seen a PowerPoint presentation that describes all of thevarious functions in more detail andaddresses the timing requirements.For example, people who help withthe handling of inbound shipmentsor room set-up may even be askedto start on Wednesday the 24th.Dave will no doubt share all of theinformation he has, and will answeryour questions on the particulars. Ifyou’d like, I can email the PPP toyou.From what little I know, theInstant Gallery is a chance for everyregistered attendee to bring a fewpieces to the show that would bedisplayed, photographed, and possibly sold! There are other opportunities including a silent auction, several exhibitions or showcases, andnumerous chances to learn or winsomething. They will need volunteers to staff these functions, somaybe you can see them from bothsides.So for those of you who willalso jump at the opportunity to seesome world class turners, severalgalleries filled with incrediblepieces, and vendors that you haven’t been able to see easily (readRobust lathes, CBN wheels, andout-of-state wood sources), now isthe chance to start planning andsaving for it. For those who havegone to multiple symposia, it wouldbe great if in the months to come,you would share your thoughts withour members who might need apush toward Pittsburgh. Let’s do it!Happy and safe turning,Rick Weinbrenner

Page 9NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSSomething to think about.By Ken NuzumIf any of you have ever had to be anexecutor of an estate or handle disposalof the possessions of a family member,you will understand what I have experienced in the last couple of years. Afterhandling all the legal hassles comes thereal hassle: figuring how to dispose ofthat deceased person’s possessions. Ithink my experiences are typical; noidea of what promises may have beenmade to other relatives and no ideawhat might be the value of many of theitems. You realize that no matter howwell you thought you knew the wishesof that relative, you know only that youare guessing too much about what thatrelative would really want you todo.With this recent experience stillclearly in my mind, my wife and I bothdecided we wanted to direct the disposal of our assets and make it easieron my son who would be our executor.We are both heavily involved in crafthobbies - a lot of material and tools thatwould need to be disposed. We justdidn’t like the idea of strangers“pawing through our stuff” at someauction or garage sale. What we wouldmost want is for our things to go topeople who would treasure them justlike we had. We simply wrote our son adirective. First, let our close relativestake what they want, and then give theremainder to our craft organization tosell or use as they see fit.It is so much easier on our son toknow that as he does his job as executor he is making decisions with whichwe would be pleased. And it is comforting for us to imagine the tools orwood that I loved will continue to bringenjoyment to fellow woodturners.I guess the primary reason I amwriting this is the hope that others willhave also thought what they want tohappen and communicate those wishesto whomever will handle your estate.Write down your specific wishes andthen give those instructions to your executor. Our organization is able andwilling to assist your executor as longas there is no restriction on the disposition other than that the benefit will goto North Coast Woodturners. Believeme, your executor will appreciate yourpreparedness and thoughtfulness.

We have room for 6turners with 3 spots spoken for sofar. We also need at least one person to act as a host to talk to people that are watching the demosand get their contact informationif they wish to be further contacted. I have one volunteer forthe host position, but we alwaysuse more help.We will have food and pop onhand both for us and the Woodcraft employees, so no one willgo away hungry.Items to turn do not have to beanything really complicated. Iffact, something on the simplerside that observers can see takeshape are probably better suitedfor an event like this.This is a fun and important dayfor the Club, as we usually attractsome new members each time.Please contact me either byemail or phone to sign up to bethere. My email is:firehawkmph@gmail.comPhone numbers are:(330) 467-8640 home(216) 496-0180 cellCity Hall ShowcaseI am starting to get some responsefor revamping the display case atBrecksville City hall. We needabout two dozen items to fill theshowcase. They needn’t be verylarge, in fact 12” and under heightor diameter is ideal. If you wouldlike to have an item or two on display, please let me know and orbring your piece to an upcomingmeeting. I would like to get thisexchange done before the year isup. The items that are currentlyon display will be returned totheir rightful owners at the nextmeeting after the exchange.Thanks in advance.Woodcarver's ShowThere is a woodcarver's show atSauder Village in Archbold, OHon October 25 and October 26,2014.

Page 13NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSClub Updates (con’t.)Beads of CourageLidded boxes for the Beads ofCourage project will be collectedeach month. See Mike Hawkins atany of the meetings. Boxesshould be around 5-6” in diameterand about 4” tall with an easy- tograb finial on top. The Beads ofCourage beads are availablethrough the club. See Ron Sielofffor those. Please only take themas needed. These beads are purchased through the Beads ofCourage website.Please Note: Boxes can be larger than 5-6” in diameter, in factlarger is probably better. When Iwent to look at some articles ontheir site, a lot of these kids acquire numerous strings of beadsand could really use a little largerbox to store them in.One more thing that may makethis project easier is to use driedflat stock lumber for your blank.Cut a number of squares for layers and glue them together. Thisway you’ll have a dry blank thatshouldn’t be subject to movement, and its usually less expensive to use flat stock lumber.If you have any questions, feelfree to call me. (Mike Hawkins)These two boxes, a nicelymatched set by the way, weremade by Don Wilhelm. Nicework Don.These next two boxes with somereally nice inlays were made byRoger Walker.Nice job Roger.Last but not least, this box withcocobolo inlays was made by LenWidmer. Thanks Len.
Page 14NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSBeginner’s Corner“Why I like Woodturning ”I figured out the other day why I likewoodturning so much. A little whileback, I got the foolish idea to build someAdirondack chairs, out of real wood noless. While the chairs are turning out tobe very nice, the project itself kept getting bigger and bigger.It all started one day while visitingthe local Woodcraft store. I happened totalk to Mike Novak to get his opinion onwhat would be a good specie of wood touse for outdoor furniture. I didn’t wantsoft woods like cedar or redwood. I wasinitially thinking cypress until I lookedat the price. Mike told me that white oakis an excellent rot resistant wood to use.And to top it off, he just so happened tohave a delivery due in the next few daysthat was going to be half price. That settled it. I patiently sat at home andawaited the call that the shipment hadarrived.A few short days later, there I was,picking through the pile with anotherfellow. We each took about 100 boardfeet. I also bought a set of plans that hadpaper templates for making a singlechair and also a double chair with asmall table in between. The double chairwas all one unit when done.First step was to swipe a good pair ofmy wife’s scissors, luckily she wasn’thome at the time. It took me a couple ofhours to carefully cut out all the patterns. Next I looked around the shop andfound some leftover pieces of 1/2” furniture grade plywood to trace the patternsonto. I spent the rest of the afternooncutting out all the wooden templates onthe bandsaw. When I was finished cutting, I fine tuned them on a disc sanderand some hand sanding. That was theeasy part.As I startedlaying out thetemplates onthe white oak, Isoon realizedthat most ofthe piecesneeded to becut from 1 1/2” thick stock. I ended upat Doll Lumber, where Eric Doll fixedme up with over 100 board feet of 8/4white oak that was rough sawn. I tookit home and spent an afternoon runningit all through my planer. It took about24 passes per board to get it down to 11 /2”. An added benefit was I ended upwith over four heaping lawn cart loadsof sawdust.Okay,so now Ihadenoughlumber.Ontosome cutting. Imade a cutlist after analyzing all the templates.Most of the pieces were cut on thebandsaw about an 1/8” oversize. WhenI had everything cut, I mounted a flushtrim bit in my router table and useddouble-stick tape to fasten the templates to the oak pieces. You have to becareful with your initial approach to therouter bit. I had a few catches (yes,
Page 15NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSBeginner’s Corner (con’t.)“Why I like Woodturning ”router tables are related to the skew)and quickly destroyed my light dutyflush trim bit.So back up to Woodcraft. I bought aWhite brand, 1/2”shank, heavy duty bitthis time. Carefully, I was able to trimall the pieces. However this left sharpedges on everything. Back to the routertable. Using a 1/4” rounding over bit onthe thick stock, and an 1/8” roundingover bit on the 3/4” stock, I put a niceradius on all the edges.But wait, they’re not ready to go together yet. I sanded all the piece withmy orbital sander with 100 grit discs. Iknow that sounds rough, but it was likesanding granite. A disc would last for 4or 5 pieces. I went through 20 discs before I thought I was done.Finallyit was assemblytime. I usedthe extension tableon my tablesaw for awork platform, as it is nice and flat, and I don’thave to bend over. This is when I discovered how poorly written the smallinstruction pamphlet was. So as I mademy way through it, using many clamps,double checking measurements, evenpulling out my Starrett square to makesure everything was the proper angle, Igot the first chair together.This is when I discovered that I didn’t make enough parts for the secondchair. So I took inventory of all thepieces once again, marking templateswith a piece of blue tape with the quantity needed. So it was back to squareone and using every machine in theshop once again.As I was assembling the first chair, Iforgot to mention that I bought allstainless steel hardware from a localwholesale company. The screws haveself drilling tips, but all the laws ofphysics cease to exist with white oak. Ihad to use three different drill bits foreach screw I put in. If I didn’t, theywould snap off before seating themselves. I decided to countersink themalso. So back up toWoodcraft to buysome tapered plugs tofill the holes. I decided on walnut, for anice contrast. There’salmost a hundredholes in each chair,so I took the two hundred they had, andordered another two hundred. Gluing themin and sanding off the remainder stickingup went pretty quick. Orbital sanderworked well here.There were a couple of turned items oneach chair. I had to turn a 1” x 19” longdowel for each. The backs of the chairs areadjustableand neededthe dowel forthat part.Turning apiece thatlong and thesame dimension is goodpractice. I used a parting tool to cut a di-
Page 16NORTH COAST WOOD TURNERSBeginner’s Corner (con’t.)“Why I like Woodturning ”ameter every two inches that was about a1/16” bigger than finish size. I then tookvery fine cuts to get down to 1”. I was ableto get within 1/64” all the way across. WhenI installed the dowels, I drilled through themounting piece at each end and partiallyinto the dowel. Then I turned some smalldowels out of ebony that I glued in andsanded off flush.As I type this, I have the two singlechairs assembled awaiting a finish. I amgoing to make one of the double units. Ihave all the pieces cut out and just aboutready for assembly. The single chairs aretoo heavy to lift by myself. I am guessingabout 150 pounds each. I think they aregoing to stay in my shop. I may turn a pairof wheels for each to mount on the rearsupport arms to make them easy to move.The double unit will stay up on the deck inthe good weather with a cover on it. In thefall I’ll bring it in, probably have to arrangefor a fork lift then.I bought a clear satin finish upon MikeNovak’s recommendation. It is made byGeneral Finishes and is a water born exterior finish. It can be sprayed, 2-3 three coatsbeing necessary. For renewing down theroad, a light scuffing with a white scotchbrite pad is all that’s necessary before respraying. Most of the other finishes I look atincluding marine spar varnish, requiredsanding down to bare wood and starting allover again.So, what does this have to do with why Ilike woodturning so much? I think youprobably realize that this type of project Ijust described takes a lot of time, a lot ofenergy, a lot of lumber, a lot of machinery,and a lot of patience. Plus it hogs up a lot ofvaluable shop space. Woodturning on theother hand requires a small chunk of wood,a small space in the shop, many time just anafternoon or evening, and not much cussing.Sometimes I can be a glutton for punishment. What started out as a nice ideaturned into a much bigger project than Ihad imagined. Oh, and I forgot to mentionthe handful of mistakes I found in the initial templates, as the paper ones werepoorly drawn and far from accurate. Ifixed my wooden templates as I discoveredthe mistakes. I had several friends andrelatives ready to order a few chairs eachuntil I told them I would have to chargeabout 800 a piece, and even at that, Iwould probably be down to about 5/hourlabor. They cancelled their orders quickly.So very shortly, I can finally get back tosome fun turning projects .
