June 2019 – Hans Weissflog – Channel Islands Woodturners

Al G. introducing Hans Weissflog from Germany

First project is lattice-top lidded box – custom chuck

Showing shape of custom scraper 0.9 mm wide

Find the center hole of offset disk with pin

Cut grooves to shallow uniform depth – extend lattice to entire top surface

Flip over, hollow, and cut lattice through to opposing side

Cut through just enough to reveal opposite lattice

Sand and clean out the lattices – the tedious part

Second project is Standing Oval Box – Form 60 mm spherical shape

Create jam chuck to hold spherical blank – note the inverted gouge useful when hollowing end grain

Now the top in contrasting wood – prepare the tenon and reverse

Now we have a spherical box – next flatten to oval shape

Place in jam chuck to hold the sphere – rotated 90 deg

Third and final project is Drunken Box or Twisted Cone – Make a spherical box, rotate 90 deg, and cut cone on opposing sides

Cut cone to exact marks – must be exactly square

Hans made a purpose-made compression chuck

Rotate the halves 90 deg to form the drunken shape

Hans concluded demo with 45 min slide show of his and son’s work

Masur Birch and Blackwood Standing Oval Box

Lots of African Blackwood, Cocobolo, Masur Birch, and Boxwood
