• Room re-arranged for the David Ellsworth demo - happy bunch
  • dsc03290
  • dsc03300
  • Using various cutting techniques possible with this gouge grind
  • David likes this live center because point is adjustable
  • Ellsworth grinding jig
  • Roughing with the gouge tip
  • Now for real - notice he almost always uses the face shield
  • dsc03323
  • Turning off the tenon
  • Forming the small foot
  • Showing how large tenon and foot design relate
  • Next project is natural-edge bowl in Liquid Amber
  • Discussing wing height and how to approach the external edges
  • Trying to balance high and low wings and bottom growth rings
  • Forming the exterior and large tenon
  • The final straight edge bowl
  • Setting the tip exposure using the Oneway jig length 2-1/8"
  • Gringing the gouge using the Ellsworth jig
  • His gouge uses a parabolic flute said to have good chip clearance
  • dsc03348
  • dsc03350
  • He works quite agressively while roughing
  • Setting up to use the jam chuck again
  • The chuck is cushioned with a foam sheet
  • Using the reverse shear scrape to shape the bottom
  • Fairing the rim and base together using shear scrape floating on surface
  • This floating allows elliptical and circular areas to join smoothly
  • Showing the use of the simple wire thickness gauge
  • Final natural-edge bowl
  • dsc03366
  • Second natural edge bowl complete
  • Block of Shamel Ash mounted for hollow form
  • Trying to find the grain direction - final form will be cross grain
  • Shaping the side grain
  • Roughing out an approximate sphere
  • Now rotated 90 degrees
  • Cutting off the tenons
  • Forming the large base tenon
  • Ready to remount in the scroll chuck
  • In the chuck
  • Shaping the top surface and opening lip
  • The hollowing strategy for the STraight and Bent hollowing tools
  • Tail stock off and hollowing with the straight tool to start
  • Again rather agressive hollowing with the 3/16" scraper tip
  • Way over to get better support with handle against his side
  • dsc03407
  • Now in jam chuck with foam pad to turn off tenon
  • Final hollow form - Ash
  • dsc03423
  • Sharpening the hollowing tool without jig and using rounded edge of wheel
  • Discussing the various flute shapes and best grinding profiles
  • Cutting with the gouge wing
  • Setting up for a fluid motion rim to center
  • Gliding in with a shear scrape - practicing relaxing the body tension
