Meeting EtiquetteAVW is fortunate to have access to many talented woodturners who arewilling to share their skills and techniques at monthly meetings. Weshould remember to honor their efforts and contributions to the club byminimizing the distraction caused by side conversations during thepresentation.

Monthly Health & Safety (H&S) TipThis month, Dave Hickman presented a Monthly H&S reminderregarding the importance of wearing good eye protection whenturning... protection that is appropriate to the size, condition, andcomplexity of the piece being turned... remembering that airborne dustand small particles can be as detrimental to our eyes as the directimpact from “thrown” pieces of wood. For information on assessing theimpact risks, see the article from the 2014 issue of AmericanWoodturner, Vol. 29, No. 3. Thanks to AAW, the article is reproducedas an EXTRA on page 25 of this newsletter.

February ProgramsDave Hickman – Pen Turning Fundamentals

Our first demonstration featured Dave Hickman presenting the fundamentals of pen turning. Thebasic elements of a pen are shown in the figure below, along with the process and a list ofresources.

Basic Process: Select a blank (about ¾ x ¾ x 6)

Cut blank into upper and lower blanks(mark junction if grain is to match)

Mark center and drill holes in blanks

Scuff brass tubes with sandpaper

Glue brass tubes in blanks (I prefer 5 minepoxy) and let it cure/dry

Use barrel trimmer to square ends

Mount blanks on mandrel with appropriatebushings

Turn to shape paying particular attentionto size at the ends

Sand through the grits (150-220-300-400-600-1200)

Apply Finish

Assemble

Enjoy

February Programs (cont.)Tim Gregory – Stave Construction of Peppermills

Our second program featured Tim Gregory presenting a demo onthe construction of peppermills using glued-up staves that allowthe turner to combine woods to produce interesting patterns in thefinal product.Tim first outlined his process for cutting and gluing-up the stavesfor his project. The dimension of the individual staves is based onthe intended rough size for the peppermill blank and the design(i.e., the number of staves) of the particular blank. For a 10”peppermill, Tim usually builds a 15” long blank to allow himselfenough wood for an extra top or a salt shaker. The stavedimensions can be calculated using an online calculator that isavailable from the link given below. Except for the length of thestaves, it is the same process used to size and cut the segmentsused to glue up the rings for a segmented turning. The followinglink also allows downloading an app for your tablet or smart phone:

http://www.woodturnersresource.com/extras/projects/segmentcalc/

Tim rips individual staves from a piece of stock that has been planed & squared. The key to thisstep is setting the bevel angle of the saw blade precisely to the desired “cut angle”, as determinedby the number of staves (sides) that will make up the turning blank. Precision is necessary hereso that the edges of the staves form the blank without gaps. Once the saw is set up, it makessense to do a “production run” and make enough staves for several blanks.

Once his staves are ready, Tim uses good-quality, strong masking tape (3M is recommended) toset up an assembly “jig” like the one in the pic on the right below. The 3 vertical strips of tape aresticky-side up and are held in place on the flat surface of his storage box by the 2 horizontal stripsof tape. Individual staves are laid across the sticky tape... tightly arranged edge-to-edge... until allthe staves are in place. Tim recommends a test roll-up to make sure that the staves are going tofit into a tight blank without gaps between the staves. The assembly is unrolled and glue is appliedto the mating edges of each stave (Tim prefers Titebond) and the package is rolled up like a jellyroll... with the excess tape wrapped around the assembly to hold the staves in place until hoseclamps can be applied to provide clamping pressure while the glue cures.

Tim uses several hose clamps along the length of the blank, tightening evenly with a power driverand assuring that the staves in the bundle are adjusted to eliminate any slippage or mismatch thatoccurred during the roll-up and application of the hose clamps.

Tim uses a shop-turned wood center...

He drills out the blank to accept the mechanism, rough turns the blank, and gives it its final shape.

Alternating staves with various wood types canbe used as a design element to create a varietyof looks in the finished mill. The more “curvy” thebody of the peppermill is, the more the color ofthe staves accentuates the curves.

2016 Monthly Programs and ChallengesRemember: Each month, on the Thursday following the Saturday MonthlyProgram, there is a mentored skills-improvement session from 6:00-8:00 pm.

DIY Buttons for Cole Jaws: Provided by Marcus Cooper from AAW.

Dear Marcus,

Shop tip from AAW

Sometimes when using my jumbo/Cole-type jaws to finish thebottom of a bowl, I find the standard buttons are not tallenough. Looking around for something else to use, I noticedsynthetic wine corks and decided to try them. I drilled throughthem on my lathe, held in a set of small spigot jaws. I addedsome M6-1 × 50mm bolts and the new, longer buttons worksuper.

I have since discovered a commercial product similar to myidea, but mine uses something that would otherwise bethrown away, is fun to obtain (drink responsibly), and costsabout $2. Also, they leave no black or other colored markson the surface of the wood.

The point of this exercise is not to get precise numbers, but to get a sense of the range of potential impacts you may encounter in the kind of turning you do.

ASSESS YOUR RISKLynne Yamaguchi

3. Choose a few lathe speeds typical of what you would use for a blank of your chosen size. Divide each lathe speed by 60 to convert it to revolutions per second.

4. Multiply the circumference by the converted lathe speeds to get the velocities in meters per second.

1. Choose an unturned blank that is typical of what you turn. Weigh it and a finished object of similar size, using kilograms as your unit. Divide the weights—half, a third, a quarter, a fifth—to estimate the weight of typical fragments.

2. Convert the diameter of your blank and object to meters and multiply by π (3.14) to get their circumference.

5. Find the kinetic energy (the energy of an object in motion) of the potential projectiles by multiplying mass times veloc-ity² times ½, or ½mv². In other words, plug the velocities and the estimated weights of various fragments into the following formula: 0.5 × kg × m/sec² = joules

(Notice that, in contrast to mass, velocity affects kinetic energy exponentially.)

6. Compare the numbers you get with the following figures:• 4.4 joules: the impact standard

for American faceshields

• 15.5 joules: the impact standard for European (“high energy resistant”) and Australian and New Zealand (“extra high impact resistant”) faceshields

• 111.1 joules: the impact stan-dard for American riot helmets

Is your faceshield adequate?
