Like most workshops in Melbourne, WoSP has been closed since the COVID lockdown started. So the only thing you can do if you do not have a workshop at home is browse through YouTube reviewing numerous videos.
Our club has been informed about Theo’s ‘Interactive Remote Demonstrations’ (IRD’s).
His sessions are a Live event using ZOOM, available each Saturday at 10.30am.
This week Theo demonstrates how to master spindle gouge control, to create the delicate coves and beads on the handle of an elegant letter opener. He will show how to form the flat surfaces, and keen edges evenly on both sides of the blade using the lathe!
Theo will cover:
- Wood selection and grain orientation
- Fine spindle gouge control
- Setting up and using a disc sander on your lathe
- Hand sanding techniques
- Finishes
You can reserve your place at this live event by emailing miked@recordpower.co.uk with a Subject line of “RSVP” requesting to attend the 10.30am session & stating where you are from. You will then be sent your ZOOM meeting login details.
