Turning Demo

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh

>Attended a nice demo this morning by Doug Trembath, professional turner. Among the many tips he shared was how to safely round off a bowl blank on the bandsaw:

After the log section has been split to create a blank with one reasonably flat side, loosely nail a round plywood template to the bark side. Place the blank flat side down (bark and template up) on the bandsaw, and just cut around the template.

Simple and safe. Thanks, Doug.

Best, Ted
