Bowl Turning: A Double Dose (aka The Mutt and Jeff Show)

Dave Schweitzer and Bill Luce will share some of their turning experience in a fast paced spectacle/demo on the subject of turning bowls, at times utilizing two lathes.

Discuss principles, demonstrate layout and cutting bowl blanks from a log. Roughing made easy – speed roughing outside and inside of bowls, demonstrating efficient gouge and coring use. Discussion on useful bowl grinds and why. Bill will turn a round bottomed bowl in real time, while Dave explains what Bill is doing. Dave will turn and hollow a hollow vessel in real time, while Bill explains what Dave is doing. Brief discussion of related topics such as boiling bowl blanks, sanding, finishing,etc. Time permitting, a quick Q and A. Shavings will fly, and it will be a lively yet informative demo you won’t want to miss!
