Ed Pretty Beyond ABC Friday 8:20 9:50 D137-D138 Most turners have been told that the universal three-step approach to woodturning is as simple as ABC Anchor, Bevel, Cut. While this outlines the basic aspects, there is a lot more to a controlled cut than simply putting the tool on the toolrest, placing the bevel on the wood, and making a cut more than is seldom, if ever, discussed. None of it is complicated, and all of it is completely logical. This demonstration will give you a full understanding of Anchor, Bevel, and Cut and will help you understand at least two causes of catches that you may never have considered. You will never ruin the rim of a bowl on the finishing cut again. Eli Avisera Blocks & Inlays Friday 10:40 12:10 PM D137-D138 Eli will explain how to prepare the Avisera blocks and inlays, such as cutting and gluing, and then will turn a goblet with a long stem, while explaining the techniques of turning a thin long spindle.

He will decorate the bowl with acrylic paints and continue the decoration with a skew chisel. In the second part of the demonstration, Eli will turn a box with a decorated lid of silver leaf, to demonstrate different effects. Learn about this woodturning puzzle. Eli Avisera Decorated Plate Friday 3:30 PM 5:00 PM D137-D138 Eli will turn a 12 diameter platter with attention to design and using woodturning tools efficiently, including how to sharpen. He will demonstrate different techniques of decorating the rim, including carving, texturing, and coloring. May 17, p.m. Page 2 of 17

3 Ed Pretty Spindle Replication Saturday 8:00 9:30 D137-D138 It s safe to say that very many turners are reluctant to tackle a project that involves turning more than one piece alike, such as spindles or matching bowls. Turning multiples involves a few simple tricks that demystifies the process, using a couple of basic tool skills that are far less complex than is commonly believed. Understanding the process can turn something that is usually considered boring into something that greatly enhances tool control overall and can be meditative.

Wayne Miller Acrylic Segmenting Saturday 1:30 PM 3:00 PM E141-E142 As turners, we understand that there is no right way to do any of the operations, especially in stacked ring segmenting. After mastering cutting segments; gluing, clamping, and stacking rings; turning; and finishing, why not investigate other materials? Like acrylic. The steps are the same, but the technique is different because of the nature of the material and characteristics of the adhesive. Turning, sanding, and finishing also require different techniques. Learn the subtle differences with video and several hands-on demonstrations.
