1 Central Coast Woodturners of California News and info for April February came to a close with the fine demonstration by Scott Hampton shown here being introduced by his host Dennis Ivans. Scott Went on to do several different pieces with some different twists

2 Scott started off with some basic small lidded bowl turning and then enhancing with a process of coloring which gives the bowl a different effect, take note of the same bowl showing the before and after displayed on the TV screen

3 Scott s 2 nd project to fill the time reaching for the lunch break was a spinning top. He explained how important it is to maintain a proper shape to assure balance. Please note that the base has been embellished and the top is of a different wood. The proof came when he started the spinning and it did not move or wander.

He stressed the point of the exact squareness of the work piece.

4 After lunch break, he stunned a few of the audience by mounting what described as a perfect cube. He stressed the point of the exact squareness of the work piece. Next was to mount it into the headstock spindle minus a spur and to remove the center of the tailstock live center. The two photos shows it taking shape

5 What started off as a perfect cube is now a 3 sided bowl, he then went on to turn a top with a slender finial.

6 Scott s final project for the day was a platter of Mahogany. After establishing a desirable shape he showed several tooling effects that can be created. Far right, the TV Scree gives us a close up view.

7 Scott again added a different touch by using a power carver (Very Carefully) and what was new to many was a Dremel tool round burr cutter for a novel design. The members of CCW wish to thank Scott for a great day of turning and to Dennis Ivans for his work hosting the demonstration.

Terry does travel between houses, when here is from Morro Bay, back to the valley when he s not here and Frank is from Orcutt, Recently retired from Vandenberg AFB Gentlemen we hope you bring us some new and good ideas. We had a visitor, Dale Johnston of Lompoc who I feel will join our ranks officially soon as he has ordered some peppermill kits We know that it s a few months away but be prepared to attend our annual picnic on Sunday October 1st at the Nipomo, County Park More info as the time nears. The challenge for March was a MALLET, there were several shown but let me just add, next month the challenge is a SCOOP. Now the reason for a monthly challenge is to have all try to meet the challenge that month, not something made years ago. A quick note, if you were the recipient of the Black Acacia, and you wish to turn a piece that can be donated to the people who made it available.

10 Challenge project As mentioned the challenge was a mallet, mallets can be of different design and material. To start off, Left Mike Rude made his mallet of Lemon wood, the handle went unidentified. Center Dennis Ivans introduced his one time use of a mallet turned from Aluminite, a tree that grows in laboratories. On the right we have Jesse Olson who turned his entry of Maple with a water based finish.

Bob Gleason(Left) took the time and pleasure to laminate Oak into a 4x4 chunk. By our showing, looks like the Carvers mallet drew the most attention

12 George Paes (right) went for 2, a judge type mallet and a carvers style. Gordon Rowland(center) turned his offering in a different manor by going off center and ending up with a 3 sided tool. Blaine Harris (Left) showed a carvers mallet of Oak.

a lot of the piano for future projects, he then led us into SHOW

13 Terry Gilliland, Our newest member told us how he obtained the wood from an old piano, he went on to say he was able to salvage a lot of the piano for future projects, he then led us into SHOW AND TELL. His offering is a hollow form Manzanita. Again Welcome

14 Here s another twist, earlier you read about Aluminite now how about magnets? Jesse )Olson told us of the hi tech calculations he went through to be able to match is upper and lower space like saucers and to get them to levitate. I hope we don t lose him to some outer space alien. Good job of thinking and planning.

Mike was able to secure parts and assembled this effective tool.

15 Mike Rude showed up in time to help me describe a tool that Scott Hampton was using in the embellishment of the platter. Mike was able to secure parts and assembled this effective tool. Look closely and you can see the Dremel tool or cutter that does all the work. A closer look on the right

Dan Ross (center ) presented a footed bowl of Walnut. Rick Hasseman (Left) presented another version of his favorite beaded bowl of Canary wood

17 Art Everett showed what looks like a half set of chess pieces turned from Maple that will go to a grandchild someday soon. My suggestion is that he strike a deal with Ernie Miller and get some African Black Wood for the other half
