Woodworkers of Central New York

May 2020 Online Show & Tell Event​

On Saturday evening, May 2nd, several members joined in our our first ever Online Show & Tell using the Zoom technology.  Below are some of the pieces shown during the event!  We expect to hold more similar events.

Picture
Mike Vecellio (left) showed two Giraffe pens he created using the process he described in the May newsletter.  He also showed a box elder bowl.
Rick Kiehl (right) showed photos of his bowl from a board using a one inch piece of cherry.  He finished it with a mineral oil and beeswax mix.  He also created the cherry salad fork and spoon, applying the same finish.

​David Wheat showed two shop tools using ideas from former Popular Woodworking editor, Chris Schwarz. First, an English  layout square with half lap joints for the brace and a bridle joint joining the two legs.  Details here.  The second jig - a kerfmaker jig - was used in the making of a shelf for storing his wife's beads.

Jim Ruddock showed a small (3x3) contemporary style clock using purpleheart, figured maple, and mahogany with a simple battery operated clock insert.
Picture
Ed Siegel showed three different items.  The first two were white limba and purpleheart bowls.  The purpleheart components were segmented using a wedgy sled that he finally created after helping others with theirs.  The chips and dip bowl has a glass insert he fit as he turned.  Ed is also starting on a turned chess set for his son. He's created a jig to hold the wood while turning as well as three pieces - two kings and one queen.

Larry Prunotto first showed his 2020 holiday ornament - a beehive complete with turned bees.  He also showed photos of the I Beam drill press platform he created using the Shop Time tip in the April newsletter as well as his wedgy sled for the table saw which is used for safely cutting segments.  Finally, he showed a dog crate cover built for his daughter.

French Cleat Mounted
In addition to turning a variety of bowls and more tops, Charlie LaPrease took on the job of creating a 98" long mantle for Chris,  a friend of Bo Rinn.  Chris already purchased the cherry from Logs to Lumber on Church Rd in Baldwinsville.  The owner, Mike Stock, did the initial planing on the wood.  Barbara helped him support the wood during various operations since the lumber was so long  Assembly was a challenge due to its length - thank goodness Charlie has long clamps that could be merged to pull each side together for a tight end.  After sanding to 400 grit, Charlie applied four coats of Tried & True and then a coat of wax for a final finish.  He thought about using his favorite finish, wipe on poly, but decided not.  He added the French cleat mounting system so Chris would not need to figure out how to mount the mantle.

When not working 60 hours a week on an outage at the nuclear plants, Robert Love completed a few projects.  First was his poplar and cherry cryptex box based on Ed Siegel's February turners meeting.

Robert also completed a black limba platter, ambrosia maple bowl/platter, and a FOGwood punky bowl. He used the Wood Hardener from Varathane as a stabilizer on the punky areas.

Mike Danial took a walk recently and found these galls.  After a discussion during our event, he decided to purchase some of the Varathane Wood Hardener that Robert Love used.  Mike then cleaned and coated the galls with the Wood Hardener before epoxying a screw into a couple galls.  The galls then became door handles for a screen door at his home!
FACTS - JUST THE FACTS:  Galls are abnormal plant growth that can be caused by insects, mites or plant diseases.  On ash trees, a tiny eriophyid mite causes male flowers to grow into round greenish, 1∕2 to 1 inch diameter tumor-like structure.  Sometimes the lumpy growths also cause leaf distortions.
Rod Castle spent his winter months at his Florida home where he has a small Jet lathe.  During those months, Rod produced a variety of small items for his Etsy shop.  Here is a collection of those items - kaleidoscopes with stands, coffee scoops, and awls.  He also showed a group of seam rippers and a bowl made by Keith Gotschall during the last meeting of the Florida AAW club. 
Picture
Dale Sherman showed three different jewelry boxes in the past, each with unique tops.  One of cherry and oak; one of tooled leather with aniline dye; and one with stained glass.
Jim Wolnik hasn't left Florida but while he was working on a scrolled bowl from a board at the shared shop space at his Florida location.

Mel Taber is turning almost every day.  He's completed 43 boxes and 59 bowls.  For the boxes, some are from red mallee, redwood burl, big leaf maple burl, spalted maple, yellowheart, elm, cherry, maple, and other woods.  Mel stated that he turned the bottoms first and then started working on the tops, fitting each to the ring he'd created.  A few have snap lids but most just fit so they can be removed without difficulty.  Mel sent photos of five bowls, including his bowl in a bowl with a glass insert.  They range in size from 9 to 13 inches and all have a wax finish.

More to come!
