Ray burns in the decorations directly using the cutters ground from washers and bolts |
I enjoyed Ray's session so much, I attended his next session on pressure turning |
For the third rotation, I attended the session with Nick Cook |
Nick uses every opportunity to cover fundamentals and explain them simply |
Nick's session was on gift items that are simple and quick to make |
Using mainly a skew, Nick fashions a honey dipper |
As a production turner, it doesn't take Nick long to complete it |
Nick then starts a snowman ornament |
After quick work, again with only a skew, it is ready for decoration |
A closer look at the finished snowman |
The added decorations are three dimensional |
Some of Nick's high volume items are bottle stoppers ... |
tops ... |
baby rattles ... |
and garden dibblers |
A look at the Instant Gallery which has been completely set up during the morning |
The Yahoo Penturners Group pen display has the best spot in the house |
The work ranges from miniatures to the largest bowls and platters I have ever seen |
The work on display is from every corner of the world and reflects different styles and materials |
The Instant Gallery is open for the three days of the symposium |
