TURNER’S TALKJuly 13
“Open Discussion & Future of Turner’s Talk”
Subsequent Meeting Schedules August 10
September 14 October 12
November 9 December 14
While the meeting was held, a quorum was not present so all agenda items but one were tabled until August. Those present reviewed the agenda for items of importance and this documents the discussion.
****************** Ray:
— reviewed the new Woodcraft policy to close at 7pm on Thursdays effective August 1st. This requires us to move our board meeting to an earlier time or change board meeting sites. Changing times could cause a hardship on current and future officers/board members. Several had discussed moving to a near-by restaurant, specifically Uno's. This would allow us to have a dinner meeting and also be close to Woodcraft for members who need access to video equipment. Ray stopped by Uno’s to check the facility and those present agreed this was a good site. A vote to move the meeting site was taken by telephone in order to reach a quorum. Results were unanimous in favor. We can revisit the question later if a better site is found.
— reviewed a proposal from Cliff that several members put together material to give demonstrations at regular meetings should the regular demonstrator cancel.
— discussed the need for a training coordinator to schedule classes. Chet mentioned that he thought it should be part of his job as mentor coordinator.
Steve:
— discussed the need to form a nominating committee to fill opening positions for the 2018 officers and board.
— mentioned that he learned about several programs at the AAW Symposium. First, AAW provides a free membership to teachers and students under 18 years old. Second, a committee could be formed to visit local high schools to promote woodturning and AAW in high schools.
— mentioned that there would be no Show & Tell in July because Barbara Dill is demonstrator.
Chet:
— reviewed the status of the mentor program and reported that two new members were being mentored. He has a total of 19 members who volunteered as mentors.
Any members who have topics they would like discussed at a board meeting can forward the topic in writing to any officer or board member.

Woodworking Dangers
I would venture to guess that in all, the biggest threat to a woodworker comes not in the form of bodily injury from a power tool, but from wood dust. Now to overlook or minimize the importance of hearing, eye, and overall physical safety when dealing with power tools, it is the small stuff—the tiny and easily overlooked wood dust particles—that can cause the most long-term damage. So, just how does wood dust affect a woodworker?
Long-Term Damage: Forget about the large chips and visible sawdust: perhaps the most damaging element is the invisible fine dust (sometimes called “coarse inhalable particles” ranging from 2-10 microns). Basically, these tiny bits of sawdust float around the air and linger even after the tools have stopped running. These invisible particles get inhaled and cause tiny wounds and scarring to our lungs: each time this happens, it causes a very small amount of irreversible damage. The immediate effect is unnoticeable, but over long periods of time, this can result in significantly decreased lung capacity, and a number of other health issues.
Irritants: The most common way that wood dust affects a woodworker is by being an irritant. This simply means that it can irritate our skin, our eyes, and our lungs. This can mean reactions such as itching, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, rashes, and asthma-like breathing problems.
Sensitizers: Taking things a step beyond being just irritating, some woods can make us more and more sensitive upon each successive exposure. So even if you don’t experience any sort of allergic reaction to the wood or its dust upon first exposure, each time you breathe the dust or handle the wood. Sometimes the eventual reaction can be quite strong, resulting in rashes or boils, severe sinus or respiratory pain/inflammation, or a number of other conditions depending on the wood species.
Toxins: Not nearly as common, some wood is considered to be directly toxic. One example of this is Yew, which even according to ancient Roman knowledge, was capable of causing fatality in certain cases. (See the introduction of the article, Wood Allergies and Toxicity.
Carcinogens: If you look at the toxicity chart of wood species, you’ll notice that some species have been shown to cause NPC. That is, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, or nasopharyngeal cancer.
To see a complete list of all the wood species, along with the most commonly reported reactions to their wood dust, see the Wood Toxicity and Allergen Chart.

AAW POLICY ON FRACTAL BURNING The AAW has always been a faithful advocate for woodturning safety. Recently, the subject of fractal burning has been in the news because of another tragic death.
The AAW Safety Committee has studied the issue and concluded there may be a distinct influencing benefit in adopting a policy against the use of Fractal Burning and publicizing it immediately to chapters and members. As a result, it was recommended that the AAW Board adopt a new policy against the practice, which was unanimously approved on May 17, 2017. The new policy is as follows:
It is the policy of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) that the process known as Fractal Burning is prohibited from being used in any AAW-sponsored events, including regional and national symposia, and that AAW-chartered chapters are strongly urged to refrain from demonstrating or featuring the process in chapter events. Further, the process of Fractal Burning shall not be featured in any written or online AAW publication, except for within articles that warn against its use. AAW publications will not accept advertisements for any products or supplies directly related to the process.
Additionally, the Safety Committee recommended that an article be published in the August 2017 issue of American Woodturner to highlight the dangers of the practice and publicize the new AAW policy.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MELISSA SCHAPPELL
June 5, 2017
Melissa,
Yesterday we enjoyed a picnic at Myron and Sue Curtis’s home under large red maple trees with three tables of great food. I was asked by several turners how was the Salem HS Program going. I explained what had happened and what was finished by the students. Myron is very interested in the program, and asked me to pass along his feelings to you. With 30 years as a member of the Tidewater Turners and many years as a High School teacher, he feels your work to attract 10 students to our organization was wonderful. He thinks the work you did as extraordinary, that you are a valuable member of our community. “Wonderful,” was how he referred to your work and he would like to have us carry on these classes, which are leading the woodturning community by bringing youth to our teachings. Your work at your school has made Mr. Curtis very happy! Those who helped you out are also pleased to be part of working with you and for you always feel if you need any help we are here for you! Sincerely, Arthur E. Green

BARBARA DI LL
A SHORT BIO ON OUR UPCOMING DEMONSTRATOR THIS MONTH,
BARBARA DILL
Barbara received a BS degree in Nursing from the University of Tennessee in 1968. Her career took her to
Europe and to East Africa in the early 70’s and her photographs were her souvenirs. She received a
Masters of Psychiatric Nursing from Boston University in 1980 and coordinated psychiatric aspects of emergency departments at Boston City ED and at Medical college of
Virginia’s ED. Barbara’s first experience with carving wood was in 1988 at a carving class in Richmond, VA. Wood became her passion and in 1989 was able to
retire from a 21 year career in nursing. She first studied woodturning in 1990 at Arrowmont with
Michael Hosaluk; then in ’91 with Ray Key; then in ’92 with David Ellsworth. She has attended symposiums, workshops and demos through the years. In 1998 she started teaching beginning woodturning at the Hand Workshop in Richmond (now the Visual Arts Center,
1998-2006).
She was always fascinated with multi axis turning and in 2006 her focus turned to multi axis turning. Tired of running into dead ends with her candle holders, she
decided to see if there was a way to sort out the confusion of this aspect of turning. If an obsession is to wake up with a new “what if” most mornings, then
she was obsessed.
Barbara enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge. She has made an instructional DVD which is on her you tube channel, has recently compiled a book loaded with drawings, photos, and information and has published
articles in the American Woodturner (Fall and Winter of 2007, February, 2010, December of 2011, and October,
2013). She was an Emerging Artist at the 2011 National Symposium and has demonstrated at SWAT in Texas,
the Appalachian Center for Craft, Arrowmont, The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, and at AAW
symposiums, as well as turning clubs in many states and in Canada.
She now teaches in her studio in Rockville, Virginia.
”My interest is to experiment with the many
forms that can be turned on a lathe between centers.”

Natural Edge Wall Hangings / Platters by Brian McEvoy November 2011
You shouldn't need any extra equipment or tools to complete this project. I generally use only two turning tools: ¼" and a 5/8" bowl gouges. You will need a good face plate and a four jaw chuck to turn these platters using the method that I use. In May 2011 we published an article on turning a large off-center wall hanging that covered essentially the same steps as what we're going to take you through with turning a natural edge wall hanging/platter. Probably the biggest difference is the perception that natural edge platters are much more difficult to tackle. The basic turning process is identical with the exception of a few safety concerns. The fact that the edge is spinning at very high speed and can be razor sharp is the # 1 safety concern. Most natural edge pieces I turn are with burl wood that tends to have weak spots such as bark inclusions. These pieces must either be removed or strengthened with epoxy. I've had pieces fly off that have actually stuck in the ceiling before I learned my lesson. I don't want to frighten you
away from giving this a go because with a little extra attention to safety, the outcome can be stunning.
Lay out your timber and determine the front and back. I usually use the largest surface for the front. This slab is three feet at its widest and 2 inch thick maple burl. Mark the approximate center as you would with a regular platter. In some cases you may want to move off center to create a more interesting effect.
Choose an appropriate size face plate - you don't want to be using a small face plate with only a few holes for a large natural edge piece. I always believe in using more screws than is necessary, after all we all have power drills. For the larger platters I generally use 12 - 1 - 1 ½ #14 screws. I'm never lazy in this regard, remember safety first. With the large pieces that are heavy to handle, I turn on the lathe to the lowest speed possible (i.e. 25r.p.m.) for mounting. Then slip the faceplate onto the mandrel where it mounts itself.
JULY 2017 | Page 10
Natural Edge Wall Hangings / Platters
Note the tail stock support. For safety reasons I always use the tailstock whenever possible.
Always use full face and eye protection. I also recommend leather gloves; remember the edges are very sharp. Long hair and loose clothing can also be a concern. I can't emphasize enough that there are very sharp jagged edges flying around at high speed so a good dose of common sense is in order.
With the lathe set at a fairly high speed, start your cut as you would with a regular platter. You'll develop a feel for the speed to run at: there are a number of variables such as lathe size and the size of your platter. I generally run as fast as I'm comfortable with. You don't want your lathe vibrating excessively, and definitely not walking around the shop.
Because of the natural edge, you'll be turning air to begin with and you won't be able to rub the bevel as readily to turn as you would a regular platter. Make sure your tool is firmly on the tool rest and hold the handle securely when presenting the tip into the wood. There will be a lot of clunking and noise but just carry on as you normally would. Until you've established a cutting edge in the wood just slowly advance the tool tip until you make contact.
JULY 2017 | Page 11
Natural Edge Wall Hangings / Platters
I like to turn a dovetailed recess in the bottom to accommodate the expanding dovetail chuck jaws.
Throughout the whole process keep a close eye open for any loose pieces or bark inclusions that might cause a piece to break off. I always test the suspect areas
carefully. This bridge area is fine, as a matter of fact it will add quite a bit of character to the finished piece. But the bark inclusion running virtually from edge to edge has me worried so once I finish the bottom and move on to reversing the platter on the lathe, I'll reinforce this section with epoxy.
I always start by power sanding with an 80 grit power lock disk just to clean up the rough surface, in particular near the outer edge. Though you will be sanding air as well as the wood at this stage with a gentle touch, you'll be surprised at how effective this method is.
I'm sure most any sandpaper will work but I like to use the foam backed Sia Soft. I find it much easier on the hands. Note the gloves for protection. I always progress through 9 grits from 80 - 500. http://www.sia-abrasives.com/en/index.php
For the stubborn areas I've found a palm sander works very well
JULY 2017 | Page 12
Natural Edge Wall Hangings / Platters
With the bottom complete, including epoxying the suspect bark inclusion, I've installed the chuck in the dovetailed recess. With large pieces I install the chuck off the lathe. Unless you have help holding this large heavy piece in place I've found this method to be much easier than struggling to hang the piece on the chuck, holding it in place and tightening it. For smaller platters this isn't necessary.

For smaller platters this isn't necessary.
Use the tail stock for support and added safety until it's in the way.
Follow the same steps for the top as you did for the bottom, turning
whatever design suits your fancy.
I can't emphasize enough how much fun this wall hanging can be to turn, and as I mentioned they are really not much more difficult than a regular platter.
The main thing is to adhere to safe work ethics and stay focused throughout the whole project. If you are interested in selling your work, I find these natural edge pieces as well as natural edge bowls to be a great seller. I've turned hundreds of them all shapes and sizes and have a hard time keeping up with demand.
The platter used for this article is not yet completely finished so I have the included the photos left as examples of some of my finished pieces.

Can You Hear Me?
Ralph Greenspan, an elderly gentlemen, and was wondering if his wife Marta had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, "Marta, can you hear me?"
There was no response.
So, he moved a little closer and said again, "Marta, can you hear me?"
There was still no response.
Finally he moved right behind her and said, "Marta, can you hear me?"
And she replied,
"For the third time, Yes Ralph! I can hear YOU!"
