June 2017 – Eli Avisera at Rich Studio – Channel Islands Woodturners

The audience for the Harvey Rich Studio dedication

Trembler: He feeds square stock through the headstock so support is always short.

Jig for holding trembler with string – MT2 for tailstock

Closeup of Eli’s “combination” tool. Top is flat with negative rake.

Next project: Human figure using offset turning

Next projeect: Roughing a top and its box

Thick tape to protect against chuck jaws when box reversed

Bottom will provide surface for spinning top

Painting the top surface only – acrylic paint won’t bleed into the wood

Decorate with long point of the skew with wood slightly offset in jaws

Measure for cork length and stopper overhang

Cut down the tenon at tailstock. Was thick to avoid splitting

Wooden jaws holds sphere. Cavity is cylindrical – could be spherical

Two scoops – the cup should be tilted the opposite way, but cutting off the tenon would be another step.

Next project: Winged bowl – template was 230 mm radius

He penciled the template curve on all four sides of board and numbered each side

Painted black with acrylic and offset cuts with skew point. He numbers each side so knows which side to bring forward next to achieve a spiral effect. Notice the pencil lines from the template to show desired curvature.

To keep vibation minimized, bowl is backed by form with same curvature as template. The green is tacky contact cement.

Pattern cut into winged bowl top surface before turning back. Notice the spiral effect.

Final shape. This method allows for very thin bowls.

Earring project: This collet allows for reversing the Ebony blank

Wet paint will drip with spin creating interesting pattern

Drybrush painting with little foam brush

Result with offset turning of grooves and metallic paints

Eli’s sculpture signifying the collegial world of woodturning
