www.woodturners.nzApril 2019Workshop NewsWe have finally purchased the Auburn Reserve Workshop. So nowwe own the building and rent the land under it from the council.There will be a working bee soon to spruce up the workshop area(Ray Morgan has already done a great job on the kitchen) beforewe have the “Official Opening”Photo is Noel Graham signing the Purchase Agreement with KenDuff who is the Receiver for the previous owners.The Saturday 30th session at our workshop focused on wig stands, with only a total of six members,a bit disappointing. However seven stands were produced and will be taken to the Cancer Societythis week.Our first guest demonstrator, Neil Turner from Perth, came to us on Monday 1 st April and did threedemonstrations for the 16 members there. Neil showed us how he turns, how he uses each part ofthe chisel when making an ogee shaped platter, a sphere and small jar. Neil is known for his flameinspired decorating and showed us how to achieve this effect with various cutting and sandingpieces. Another type of decorating is to use various size drill bits doing blind holes or piecingthrough to have a coral look.So a busy week for the club and our new workshop, showing the benefits of having our ownworkshop facilities. Thanks to Noel and Joe and team for preparing the workshop for these events.It was a pleasure to host Neil Turner and thanks to Ray for helping me with the transport.Rick BolchBowl Saver Demonstration and Hands OnThursday Evening 2nd May at the WorkshopWe are starting to build up a collection of specialised equipment at the workshop. We have recentlyacquired a Woodcut Bowl Saver. This is a device that can be used to core out a number of smallerbowl blanks from the centre of a larger bowl blank rather than turn all that centre wood intoshavings. So typically you can save one or two smaller bowls from the centre of your blank andthen you have less hollowing out to do. Because of the specialized nature of this device and thepossibility of damaging the device and/or the user (if it is used incorrectly) it will become one of thedevices that you have to be “signed off” on before you can use it. This demonstration and “handson” session is a chance to use the device under supervision and get “signed off” on it so that youcan use it, in the workshop, any time in the future.6

It is sponsored by the National Association of Woodworkers.Different clubs host the event, this year it is being hosted by the Waitaki Woodturners Guild inOamaru. Each club that is participating will have a “Display Table” and will provide one or more“Competition Teams”, usually of 6 turners per team that will compete to turn a particular object.Display TableEach team prepares a display table with up to 10 items that have been turned by club membersover the last year. The theme for this year is “Weather” so we are looking for items that you mighthave turned that are weather related such as thermometers, hydrometers, barometers,anemometers, wind vanes, rain gauges little man and woman that come in and out of their housedepending on the weather conditions that sort of thing.Competition TeamsCompetition teams usually consist of 6 turners and they have to try and turn three identical pieces.This year we will be turning a square vessel with a round lid. So three of the team will turn thesquare vessels and three will turn the lids. At the end of the event the team with the “most similar”square vessels with round lids will win the competition. We are keen to enter two teams so wewould like to see at least twelve turners put their names down for this event. At the Club Night onthe 27th April the competition process and various designs of square vessels with a round lid will bedemonstrated and at the “Hands On” evening on the 16 th May you will have an opportunity topractice turning one of these items.7

Without a doubt, the AAW has affected my life in a positive way. First, woodturning has given me a creative and enjoyable activity that I can participate in during my retirement. I view the AAW as the core source from which all information and advancement in woodturning originates. Without the AAW there would not be a Northeast Florida Woodturning
