Green to Clean: An exploration into drying methods for rough turned bowl blanks with Karl Koch

There are many versions of eccentric chucks available for a wood lathe. Usually they are made
of steel or aluminum and range in cost from under a hundred dollars to many hundreds of
dollars. Each one has its advantages and the complex ones are almost a science in themselves
to use. Generally they are not intuitive for most woodturners. So I created the Duxbury
Wooden Chuck --- now nicknamed the Dux Chuck.

This demo will review several different methods and tools for mounting pieces on a lathe. This will give you the opportunity to see first-hand a mix of techniques and real-life experiences you may not have seen before.

Trent will go through all the techniques used in the creation of a hollow form with an emphasis on the latest technologies. This demo is designed for anyone at any level of turning.

Alan has been making Goblets for many years. In this demonstration, he will share his thoughts on design and then demonstrate his process for making a natural edge Goblet.

Ciondy wil show us her process turn her signature box and finial top.

Like platters and want to learn where to begin? Or maybe you are looking for a new platter design? Well, join us for our March demonstration where Keith Gotschall will be showing us how he turns an offset platter.

While working in our shops, we woodturners sometimes tempt disaster. The very nature of standing in front of a lathe with a hunk of wood balanced between two points spinning anywhere from 300 to 4,000 RPM, attacking it with a hunk of strong steel is, naturally, anathema to safety.
