Presidential Words
For December 2015
Dear Members, Mt Coot-tha Exhibition Nov 28 and 29 As I write my Words for this month I am aware of the long weekend ahead that many WSQ members will have in order for us to stage our Christmas Exhibition. It takes a lot of work and organisation to run this event with over 50 plus individual members helping out across the weekend. I hope to see many Members and their families over the weekend. Clean up day December 5 On Saturday morning, from 9am to 12noon, we will be having a pre-Christmas clean up prior to our Party on the 8th. As we will be serving food in the workshop area, it needs to be thoroughly dusted and vacuumed, and all those bits of timber and stuff that has been just left lying around has to be removed and properly stored. We need as many volunteers as possible to get the job done in as short a time as possible. Tuesday Morning December 8 As this is our last open workshop for the year, we will be having a special morning tea for all members attending. There will be no afternoon training session for members as we will be organising the hall for the evening Party. “Rosetta/Thomas” Table David Thomas was our Secretary in 1989 when the Committee of the day was planning to build a workshop in the car park of the Old Nundah Town Hall. The B.C.C. wanted to charge us $10,000 for Permits, Application for Rezoning etc., before we even broke ground. David Thomas, as our Secretary, objected to this expense and the committee resolved that if David could find something cheaper they would have a look. Within a week he had found our Pine Street Hall. David was also responsible for some of our earlier building work at our hall. Kevin Rosetta, a retired wood machinist, joined in 1987 and soon became our main Demonstrator. When our Pine Street hall was fitted out with lathes and equipment, Kevin was the main tutor, teaching a lot of our members from 1990 - 2000. The special table that Albert Takken has created from one piece of this special slab of timber is
up for raffle. It will be drawn at our Christmas Party. It is a “members only” raffle as we want to keep the piece within the Society. Tickets are $5.00 each. They can be purchased from our Treasurer, John Reed. Hamper Raffles As usual we are having 3 Hamper Raffles at our Christmas Party. Members can donate items for the hampers by bringing them along to Pine Street until the morning of December 8. Bob McGeechan is organising this, so speak to Bob about what he needs to make each hamper special. Christmas Party The Christmas Party is being held on the evening of Tuesday December 8, from 6.30pm. The cost is $18.00 per person. We need to know numbers ASAP so we can order the food for the night. If you want to participate in Secret Santa, you will need to bring a wrapped gift to the value of $10.00. Each person who places a gift under the tree will receive a ticket from John and Barb Sheppard. Later in the evening we will draw out your corresponding ticket and you will then come up and collect a gift from under the tree.
Start Back Dates for 2016 We will be back on deck on Tuesday January 12. On behalf of our Committee, I would like to wish all our members and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2016. Rob McKee President

Treasurer’s Report
Hello everyone. A brief summary of our financial position for September follows:
Receipts Memberships $714 Meeting Income $1,209 Store Sales $627 Sundry Income $329 $2,879 Less Payments Membership Expenses $80 Meeting Expenses $98 Library Expenses $15 Competition Expenses $175 Store Purchases $207 Property and Equipment Expenses $5,841 Other Expenses $1,048 $7,464 Cash Shortfall $4,585 Cash at Bank $39,280
The major property and equipment items purchased during the month were a PA system to be used for demonstrations, a dust collector for the new the drum sander and table saw, and an awning for the window on the southern side of the building.
I am yet to present November’s results to the Management Committee and will provide a summary in the next Turnong Talk editon. However, our major activity during November was our Mount Coot-tha exhibition. Unfortunately, the weekend was not as successful as last year’s, no doubt due to the hot and steamy day on Sunday. Some brief results with a comparison to last year’s exhibition is:
This Year Last Year Sales $12,742 $14,499 No. of patrons 472 546 Raffle tickets sold 462 631 Kitchen sales $653 $569
Despite the lower number of patrons and sales, the weekend still generated a profit. I’ll let you know the figure in the next edition, after final costs have been received.

Gum Leaves and Nuts
(Air Brushing and Pyrography)
I recently finished a Jacaranda platter, 350mm in diameter, and thought it a good idea to decorate it. I’ve already done one of Nick Agar’s “Autumn Leaves” around the rim of a similar platter, mainly using air brushing. I learnt a lot doing this. So, I thought about trying a similar idea on this platter. The processes I used follow: 1. I did a Google search for “Free Gum Leaves”,
having discovered there were lots of drawings and pictures one had to pay for. I found “Eucalyptus Leaves Stock Photos, Images and Pictures” which had many suitable pictures. I printed this page to a PDF document.
2. I enlarged the page to a suitable size, and selected “Edit”, followed by “Take a Snapshot”. Then I pulled up a Word document and pasted the image on to that.
3. I made a copy of the Word document image and cut out the leaves only.
4. Using craft tracing paper, I traced the outline of the leaves and nuts onto the platter.
5. I got some clear contact from the cheapie shop (much cheaper than frisket), and stuck this over the tracing.
6. I cut out the leaf shapes only with a craft knife. 7. I air brushed the leaves with yellow, green, then
some black dye.
8. After taking off the contact, the stems and gum nuts were dealt with using pyrography, mainly with the sharp skew tip.
9. The platter was then finished with lacquer.
I was pleased with the final result. No doubt there are other ways to do this project, but this worked for me. John Byrne WSQ Member

October Demonstration by Marilyn Kunde
On Saturday October 24, 30 members and friends attended a demonstration by Marilyn Kunde. Marilyn’s topic was “French Polishing”. Marilyn started her session with some discussion regarding her 25 years in the Army; how she started in French Polishing; her 20 years doing French Polishing; how carpal tunnel injuries due to power sanding caused her to retire about 3 years ago; and her recent woodturning activities. Stripping Surfaces Marilyn demonstrated how to strip a surface using a small table. She painted the stripper on a small area. After allowing the stripper to breakdown the surface coating, she gently used a scraper to remove the finish. For small, detailed areas Marilyn uses dental tools as mini-scrapers. She makes her own scrapers. These have a flat edge and a sharp point. To clean up the stripped area she uses grade 2 steel wool with methylated spirits. She very firmly stressed not to use water for this task.
Marilyn with the Partly Stripped Table
Next, Marilyn discussed a range of products she recommends, or not. Only the recommended ones are mentioned in the following section. Glues
Techniglue H60: She uses fine sawdust to colour it as necessary. She doesn’t use dyes as she doesn’t think they look natural. Marilyn recommends white vinegar or lacquer thinner to clean up Techniglue.
Loctite 401: She uses this instead of superglue. It also can be coloured using fine sawdust.
Titebond 3: She uses Red, Blue (good for pens) and Green.
Fillers
Timbermate Woodfiller.
Abrasives 0000 steel wool. Norton No-Fil sandpaper. Finishes
Wattyl Stylewood lacquer.
Spray Stain: It is quick and easy to use.
Cabots Interior Stain: Marilyn claimed to love this dearly, but it takes time to dry.
Tips
Animal glue doesn’t work in Queensland.
Sand paper – go through the grades/ 80/100/120/150/180/240/320/400. She discussed the 1:3 ratio, i.e. ½ hour to make a piece, and 1 1/2 hour to finish it.
There are great variations in quality among sandpapers. Choose carefully.
Use leather pads between wood and clamps to avoid bruising the timber.
Use chalk, not pencil, to mark areas on the surface that need attention.
Use beeswax or soap on screws to make it easier to drive them in.
Use melted wax from wax stick to fill small holes.
Apply woodgrain fillers with hessian.
Oil is the greatest hider of imperfections.
Goods and Chattels is a good source of French Polishing materials.
Shellac Marilyn discussed the use of shellac in some detail, and she demonstrated techniques for using it during the latter part of her session. The following are some of the key points I noted down:
There are 3 types of shellac – Blonde/ Orange – use on most things/ Button – 50 times tougher than orange shellac, and doesn’t go off.
Buy shellac as flakes.
Mix shellac with methylated spirits.
Strain shellac through a stocking.
Store shellac in plastic or glass containers.
Keep shellac flakes in the fridge, if possible.
Shellac flakes go off, due to environmental conditions or age.
Apply shellac with a brush (called a “mop”), spray it, or use a special cloth pad (called a “rubber”, which is made using rags and cotton, and is made to fit your hand.) Marilyn demonstrated how to use a “mop”, and how to make and use a “rubber”.
Turning Talk – December 2015
Page 7 of 12
Marilyn displays the “Rubber” she has Made
The first couple of coats should always be brushed with an almost dry “mop”. Do not brush from the edge to avoid runs down the side of the piece. Brush from near the edge to the edge, and then come back over it once only. Do this process
gently, with a very light pressure. Sand lightly using 400 grit sandpaper between coats. After this, use the “rubber” to apply further shellac. Apply it in a figure 8 pattern. This pushes the shellac down into the grain.
You are looking to close the grain. This determines the number of coats required.
You would be lucky to get 5 clean coats per day. It was a very interesting demonstration. I’m sure everyone picked up many points about products and techniques, which can only assist them in improving the quality of their own future projects. Our thanks go to Marilyn for speaking to us about her area of expertise, which she obviously loves. Geoff Holbeck Editor – Turning Talk
Jest a Moment
Dave was riding his motorcycle south down Highway 1 along the Northern California coastline, as he often did. Suddenly, with little warning, the sky darkened and a booming voice spoke from above. "Dave." the voice thundered, "This is God. I don't usually make these kinds of appearances, but I have decided to make an exception for you. You have been such a kind and generous man throughout your life that I would like to grant you a wish. Whatever you desire will be yours, but you must decide now." Dave, who had always looked westward across the Pacific Ocean, knew immediately what that wish would be. "That's easy", he said. "I'd like a bridge that goes from California to Hawaii so that I can ride my Harley across the Pacific any time I like." Following some hesitation, God replied. "I could grant this wish, Dave, but the amount of resources which would be exhausted in the creation of such a massive structure would be catastrophic, and would be such a detriment to your fellow man that I implore you to choose something else." While disappointed, Dave understood the request and, after some chin scratching, replied with another wish. "Well... this may seem strange, but I genuinely believe that if I could better understand the women in my life and I could relate to their feelings, then I could make
more people around me happy and be a happier man myself. So I wish to be able to do just that." After a pause and a long sigh, God spoke again. "Ok, Dave. Do you want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?" Anonymous WSQ Member

WOODTURNING CLASSES IN JERUSALEM
I’ve been learning many new techniques during my Tuesday morning classes with Eli Avisera. Recent projects include a two-tiered earring stand (mahogany), a pair of earrings (ebony, multi-centre and textured) and a bangle (pine). The rings on the bangle were made using a very fine parting tool made from a bread and butter knife, followed by burning with a wire.
For making the small spindles in the earring stand, we first made a special drive centre from oak, by turning a Morse 2 taper to fit in the headstock, shaping the other end to give a 1-cm diameter shoulder and gluing a nail in the centre. After cutting off the head of the nail, a central point was turned using a skew. This jig allows for a small blank to be mounted between the spike and live centre in the tailstock. The surface area of the shoulder was sufficient to drive the blank, although extra grip could be achieved by gluing coarse sandpaper on the shoulder around the spike.

Health Hazards and Wood
Some of the potential health hazards associated with timber use
In Australia all wood dust is now classified as carcinogenic (liable to cause cancer). This list has been compiled to give woodworkers a little bit of an insight into the potential health hazards posed by some of the timbers that are used. This is by no means a comprehensive list. This list is not meant to discourage you from woodworking just as a guide to help identify some of the problems you may de having with your health or may possibly have in the future. It is a wise investment to purchase a good respirator especially if you are a woodturner or do a lot of sanding. You may also need to look at putting a dust extractor into your workshop and even a small particle dust extractor which can eliminate particles as small as 1 micron in size (invisible to the naked eye).
