What is this?
Featured presenter: Keith Gotschall
Quaich: Spindle to bowl demo
In this information rich demo we will explore both spindle turning and bowl turning. The techniques of one are easily transferred to the other and Keith will show you how. He will go over grain direction and how that informs the direction of cut, and how that makes such a huge difference to the outcome of your project. Traditional turning techniques will be explored and all the basic tools will be shown in use. Have trouble making beads or coves? Keith will show you how to improve your shapes and make it easier to get reliable results. In bowl turning, these same ideas come into play. In the end we will have a winged bowl that has been turned both as a spindle and a bowl; a very traditional Scottish vessel called a “Quaich” that is used for ceremonial purposes. Very exciting!
