February 10, 2011 Turners Class

Our February Turners meeting was attended by thirty members, thanks for a good turnout. The subject was on how to create some of the "Features" used in a Segmented feature ring. I needed to start by showing how to determine the size of the pattern and it's surrounding background. Our example was diamonds by using a tablesaw. A number of members have DeltaCad so I briefly showed how it get the face length and height in a drawing. I next briefly showed Bill Kandler's "Segmented Project Planner".  We had some fun with "LaminationPro" part of the WoodturnerPro software. My next talk was on Points, both vertical and horizontal showing the sled to create the vertical ones. I have patterns from all these from my past projects. I got lots of good questions which I enjoyed as is shows all were involved. The last item to show was the glue up and cutting to create an "IndianBlanket". I had hoped to make a Diamond and it's background using a disc sander but our time was up, perhaps a future time.    Butch Davis
