President's Challenge February - Writing Instrument plus January - Kitchen Utensil |
|

Bill is planning to turn two square pieces. First, making a shallow, thin-walled square platter. Bill will have a few beginner-level tips for turning thin-walled vessels. Second, he will turn what is called an inverted bowl, using jumbo jaws in a scroll chuck. Bill says a fair amount of planning goes into the chucking and reverse chucking of this second piece. Attached are written instructions that will help you follow along with Bill's demonstration. |
