Woodturning Zoom Meeting Monday Session Report 05-10-20

This turned into a very busy evening with a lot of contributions from those attending, we even let one of those southerners get a word in....whatever next!!

So to summarise the evening then we had the following:

Allan Joicey showed us piece he had made from an oak cupboard for a member of the clergy to help with the transportation of the things needed for communion, the main body is made as a staved construction and, of course, it does have a hand chased thread on the lid. (Images at the bottom of the page folks!)

Ray Midgley brought us up to date with the project he had started to use up all of those offcuts, the segments had been joined up to form the blanks and we can now see the finished project, a clock of all different woods. Ray has also sent through some images of some of his other projects, two model sailing ships and the train he made a little while ago. (Images at the bottom of the page folks!)

Phil Irons some weeks ago had shown us some new paint additives he had gotten hold of to use in cracks and voids in some of his work instead of the metal powder inlays that he normally uses. The material is a "glitter" powder which can be added to paint (or in this case epoxy glue) and then used to fill in voids. (Images at the bottom of the page folks!)

Arthur Bowes has experience in the field of paints and paint additive and mentioned some flake additives used when spraying cars, Arthur has kindly sent through some photos of sample cards of those materials.

Kevin Purdy (or should I say the multi-talented Kevin Purdy!) sent through a photo of a crook he has made in Elm, woodturning, basket making, stick making, concrete laying.... is there no end to this man's talents!!

All told it was a successful evening and, I am delighted to say, it appears that plenty of you have got the hang of sending photos.....so thank you to those who have sent photos (Remember: you get better at it the more you do it !!) and to the others...get those phones out and get some photos taken!!
