My last session was with Paul Ferrel |
Paul focused on holding techniques with repositionable capabilities |
He is a big fan of small faceplates with additional supports |
Paul uses wood screws with using a pilot hole |
|
|
|
|
|
After attaching the faceplate with screws ... |
Paul adds more screws through fender washers |
This belt and suspenders approach really holds the faceplate to the wood |
The cone attachment is then used with the tailstock to hold the work |
|
|
|
|
|
With this kind of support, you can cut pretty freely and aggressively |
After cutting, you can examine the wood for grain and coloration choices |
By loosening the faceplate, you can change the center by adding spacers ... |
under the faceplate and retightening the screws and then the fender washers |
|
|
|
|
|
You now have a different center taking advantage of the grain you discovered |
Now you can create that masterpiece |
You have the freedom to change centers as often as you feel necessary ... |
not being bound by your original attachment scheme |
|
|
|
|
|
Paul also covered his ideas for wall hangings using off center
attachment |
He uses a glue block with the same faceplate mounting idea |
This allows him quite a bit of freedom to do off center turning ... |
creating some pretty unique items |
