Bow River and the FVWG are pleased to present
Bruce Campbell
Demo: Sharpening and more
Saturday December 10th, 2011 from 10 am to 4 pm
Admission $40.00
Lunch and wood supplies provided. Bring your own tools.
After tool control, sharpening is perhaps the most important skill needed in woodturning. There is lots of information out there but it is often misleading or contradictory.
The previous Thursday evening at the FVWG monthly meeting, Bruce will concentrate on only one tool – the skew. But, we will look at most of the concepts there are in sharpening including, types of grinders, stone grit and composition, bevel angles, honing, different steels, different types of skews, jigs and jig systems and so on. Bruce will demonstrate a few simple practice projects that are quick, and fun while reviewing the basics of using the skew.
On Saturday, Bruce will expand the scope of the discussion to include all six types of turning tools (that right, there are only six). The hands-on projects will be simple and quick and every person will have a chance to use and experience different profiles on each tool.
The Saturday session at Bow River is open to everyone regardless of ability or experience. “I especially encourage absolute beginners to attend – even if you have no tools at all. The knowledge you will gain will easily save you the cost of the seminar and I guarantee you will have fun.” – Bruce
Those attending are encouraged to bring all of their tools and we will examine, discuss, sharpen and use them all. I hope this will be an open exchange of ideas and experiences so that we can all learn from each other. See you there.
