11 June 2022 Club Meeting Show and Tell Items

 Here are some pictures of a couple of items that were brought in to show the fellow members what we have been working on for the 11 June 2022 club meeting.

 

The inside has been sanding a painted for a nice contract.

  

Beautiful wood for this container.  

 

Turned the wood to provide another view of the variations in the wood. 

Please note the 9 July 2022 club meeting will be at Sam's shop in Mackinaw City where he will show some of the equipment he uses in his resin turning projects.  - ajp2

Students at LaSale High School turn rolling pins.

 Steve Promo has been mentoring kids at the LaSalle High School in Saint Ignace in the skills of turn on wood lathes.   Recently several have been turning rolling pins.  Here are some pictures.

 

Innovative  protective gear to keep the wood shavings out of and off your clothes.  Protective mask against the dust of turning and sanding.  Well done.

 

Putting the finishing touches on a rolling pin with strips of darker wood.  Looks great.

Keep learning and practicing kids.  Have fun.

Red Pine Table Legs by Steve Promo

 Steve had a recent project to make four red pine table legs.  Each table leg has a tenon opening so it can be fasten to the table tenons. 

 

Finished table legs   28" long with a 3" square top to connect to the table. Hard to believe each leg was turn separately and not on an automated machine.

 

Close up of the top showing the tenon opening used to fasten to the table.

 

Another great project by Steve Promo.  Beautiful work Steve.
