Happy Holidays Have a Safe and

Prosperous Turning New Year

Turners,

Well Folks, it has been three years since I was elected president of the turners, and it has been interesting to say the least.  First, my congratulations to the newly elected president, Jay, and vice president, Amos.  And the same goes out to new board of directors members Dean, El, and Chuck.  You, the members, are in capable hands. 

This is a good mix of club experience and new blood, and there is a bright future in store.  While I was the one who stood in front of you and led the meetings, I would be terribly wrong to not mention that the bulk of the real work was done by the board and other officers.  I will not name individuals for fear of leaving someone out, but I want to thank everyone for all the behind the scenes work.  It was appreciated.

During the last three years a lot of things have happened.  I am glad to say most of it was good.  We have had a lot of new members join up, and, unfortunately, we have lost a few very good friends.  As I write this last presidential input to the

newsletter I am reminded of something a “senior” woodturner (Don Brooks) once told me.  He told me that the challenge for a woodturner is to take a piece of wood, and when you’re finished, hopefully it will look better than when you started.  That is what I hope I have done the past three years, and that is what I wish for you all in the future.

Keep turning and BE SAFE!

Cliff

Cliff’s Notes

Thanks This is my last issue as Editor of ‘The Tidewater Turner’. After 6 years I felt it was time to let someone else take

over the reins and introduce some new ideas.

I thank all of the members who have sent me articles to publish and to the many woodturners whom I have

reached out to, across the internet, to give me permission to reprint their articles.

It has been a pleasure to produce the newsletter and I surely hope that your new Editor will take time to read

over the many newsletters from our previous Editors and follow in their footsteps and produce a newsletter of

substance and quality for you to enjoy.

Steve Wilson Thanks for flying with me! 2

President’s Corner

Ray congratulated El Halley, Chuck Lutes and Dean Sword on their election to the board. He welcomed Chandler Turner.

Jay:

— discussed the proposal of a welcome center at each meeting. This would provide a place where visitors and members could pick up information about the club and its activities. It should be located near the front door

and be manned by someone. The membership chairman would be a good choice. — proposed a visitor packet for visitors and a welcome packet for new members and discussed the contents of each. Ray recommended coordinating with Saw Warren, the membership chair who sends out a welcome email to visitors. — discussed forming committees to share the responsibilities for club activities. Cliff recommending forming only enough committees to carry out club work.

Amos: (Not present. Ray presented his agenda items.)

— has lined up meeting demonstrations for January and February. Gary Gobel will demonstrate end-grain goblets in January and

Clifton Chisum will demonstrate in February. — is talking to three potential demonstrators for future meetings. — has questions about selection of and paying for well-known turners as demonstrators. Since these directly relate to his work, the board will hold the questions in abeyance until the January meeting.

Bret: (Not present)

Connie:

— provided an update on the Christmas party. 62 people have signed up for the party. Cliff, Bret, Connie and Ray will cook turkey breasts and a ham. Having them catered is too expensive. El will provide soda, water, tea and ice. We will hold the usual ornament, mantle and potpourri competitions. — has picked up wood from Sommerton Ridge Hardwoods for door prizes.

Bruce:

— provided a report on the treasury. This report contained a bank statement reconciliation and a profit/loss statement. — reviewed the 2020 draft budget. Cliff and Ray agreed that the budget was a planning document so we could balance our budget. If any expense exceeded our yearly income, we would

have to agree to use funds from our treasury or raise money in another way. — reviewed our application for the Virginia 501(c)(3) tax free application.

Ray:

— asked for opinions on the success of the Turnathon. Everyone agreed that it had gone well and seemed well received by membership. — discussed the status of the Virginia Woodturning Symposium coming up in November 2020 and provided a list of demonstrators. Demonstrators include David Ellsworth, Nick Agar, Jimmy Clewes, Alan Lacer, and JoHannes Michelsen. — asked if we had purchased a smock for our turner of the year. It was purchased and is being embroidered. — reported that he had been contacted by a teacher at York High School about having a classroom demonstration on Jan 9th. He will send out an email looking for volunteers.

Steve:

— noted that he needs inputs for the newsletter. — proposed that the board meeting minutes be read at each meeting so members will know what we discuss. Ray asked if that time should be taken away from the meeting demonstration.

On December 5, 2019, the Board of Directors and Officers held their monthly meeting at Pop’s Diner in Chesapeake. Here is a summary of the meeting.

Steve: (continued)

— mentioned that agenda items talked about at one meeting aren't followed up during follow-on meetings. — noted that the December edition would be his last newsletter. Chuck Lutes will be the new newsletter editor and Steve will turn over materials to him. — discussed changes needed to our by-laws. AAW has changed the requirement for board members to be be AAW members so this should be removed from the by-laws. Also, he noted that the by-laws require candidates for club offices and board be published in the newsletter and that the budget be printed in the January edition of the newsletter. — reported that he would be turning over the square (credit card) account to the treasurer. — thanked Cliff for his work as president and thanked all present for their assistance in publishing the newsletter and club activities. — noted that he will not return to the club after the end of the year.

Pete: (Not present)

El:

— asked several questions related to the budget and asked for clarification on the number of outside demonstrators we want and their costs. — asked if we had an optimum level we should maintain in our treasury. Ray mentioned that it should be

enough to cover a catastrophic loses to our meeting place or equipment. — asked if we should increase dues to increase our budget requirements. — asked if we present our budget and financial status to the membership. Ray mentioned that in the past, we told membership that the information was available from the treasurer upon request. — reported that he was finalizing a club survey.

Cliff, Art: (No inputs.)

How To Save Turning BlanksSaving Wood

I don’t know about you, but I have always had trouble saving wood. Free wood seems to come in batches, and usually when I have a lot of work to do in my real job and can’t get to it. Consequently, it sits in the yard and cracks, gets filled with bugs, turns punky, and is basically unusable. Then I have to figure out how to haul it to the dump. It’s not fun to watch that prized walnut or cherry log slowly go this way.

Like many of you, I have experimented with all of the “cheaper” alternatives such as paint, roofing tar, glue, etc. I even tried commercial end-grain sealers and decided they didn’t work either. When I moved into my new house, I decided I had to find a way to

save, or at least prolong, the useful life of this free, green wood.

The first step was to understand the problem. Dying is the reason the wood checks. Sun and wind are two main factors that speed up the drying. Bugs are the other problem. Getting the wood off the ground and covering it is one solution. These proved impractical for me because the logs were too large and the only way to cover them was to throw a tarp over them, which was unsightly, and I didn’t want to do that to the neighbors (who were nice enough to put up with me running a chainsaw frequently).

I tried end grain sealer again, using two coats this time, and it does seem to help, but only postpones the end checking for a few weeks or so. Some logs I cut up into 3- or 4-foot sections and stood them on end. I covered the open end with black plastic trash

bags. I’ve used these logs several months down the line with only a little loss. The bugs still get at them and, of course, fungus starts, so this is a double edged sword. Good if it spalts, bad if the bugs eat it up. However, for short term storage this works quite well and may give me time to use plan B, which is cut the wood into bowl blanks and cover them with wax.

Of course, you never get to them fast enough if you get a lot of wood so I needed another way to save some of the wood. I take the logs that were starting to split and cut them in half through the biggest check. Then I go to the bandsaw and cut them into spindle and box stock. I draw or cut squares, starting as large as I can. I’ll cut the sections as long as I can handle on the bandsaw. For example, I start with 4x4 and then 3x3, 2x2 and even 1x1 if I can. This gives me stock for everything from boxes and tool handles down to ornament finials and mirror handles. I cut off any checks on the ends and then coat the ends with two coats of end-grain sealer. After several years of doing this, I now have a lot of dry or partially dry stock for these projects.

The methods above have saved a lot of wood that would have been tossed. However, they were less than successful at saving bowl and hollow vessel blanks. Several years ago at Thanksgiving, my father found some fresh-cut ornamental cherry logs in a neighbor’s yard. I talked to the gentleman and filled the trunk of my car with the fresh-cut logs. I always have trouble saving cherry and these were already just large enough for bowl and vessel blanks. If I had any checking at all, they would be gone.

How To Save Turning BlanksFortunately, I had just started using a new technique for me, waxing the whole blank. When I buy exotic woods, they often come completely covered in wax. I thought I could try that and see if it worked. I picked up an old electric skillet at the flea market. I heated some paraffin wax until I found the temperature that just melted it. I hot-glued the temperature setting at this mark. Even though this was low enough not to cause a fire, I kept the metal lid of the skillet handy just in case. Then I cut the bowl blanks and rolled them in the wax sealing all surfaces. On larger bowl blanks I was only able to roll the edges in the wax. For hollow vessels, I dipped the round cut ends in the wax. I didn’t really know what to expect but it has been wonderful. At the same time I also dipped some fresh cut apple blanks in the wax. I put these aside in the shop and let them sit until they started to check, just to see how long it would take.

The fully coated pieces have lasted for almost two years. The wax is starting to peel off. I may be able to freshly wax them and make them last longer. The vessel blanks that were coated on just the ends did well for a little over a year before starting to check. I even rough turned the outside of one hollow vessel, but not the inside, then coated the whole thing with wax. It held up for a little over a year before it started to check. The pieces turn like they are still green, but don’t throw as much water.

A friend suggested another alternative. Fill a small can with wax and let it sit in the skillet. Then you can take this can of melted wax and paint the wax onto larger blanks that would not fit in the skillet.

When I get wood now, the first thing I do is decide how soon I can get to it. I will put plastic bags over the ends. In the next week or so, I will cut them to a manageable lengths, lay one end on the ground, and seal the other end with endgrain

sealer. Then I cut and rough any bowls that I have time to do. If it looks like I won’t get to rough any more or don’t know what plans I have for the wood, I will cut the wood into bowl blanks, vessel blanks, or simply squares or rectangles. If I think I’ll get to it within a reasonable amount of time, I seal just the end-grain. For special pieces with curly grain, I seal all of it with wax. Then, I cut the rest up into spindle stock and seal the ends with wax.

This method has allowed me to save wood that would have gone bad. I just started cutting up thicker platter blanks and will see how long it takes them to dry and what kind of warping problems I will have. I’m expecting some decent results from this.

~ John Lucas Baxter, Tennessee

You will have more control when you heat the wax, pour it into a can, and then paint it

onto larger blanks.

Paraffin wax melts between 117 and 147

degrees. The flash point is 390 degrees.

Keep the temperature down to minimize risk,

and keep a lid and safety supplies handy.

Wednesday, January 1, 2020Step Up to the Plate: Second Inning | Annual AAW Member Exhibition Call for Entry1/1/2020 » 3/15/2020Time: 12:01 AM

SCENARIO:

I was positioning the height of the table saw blade and was using a combination square to measure with. The measurement had to be exact, so I found myself holding the square with my left hand at the blade and my right hand alternating between turning the raising mechanism and rotating the blade to distinguish absolute height. I have no idea why, but I reached down and under and went for the switch instead of the crank. The saw came on and nicked my thumb and forefinger. Not much damage...not much blood, but it scared the heck out of me. Just thinking that my fingers were that close to the saw-blade made me weak in the knees. It could have been much more severe.

ADVICE:

It's easy to let your mind wonder while performing simple, mundane tasks. I suspect that was the cause of my accident. It's like those times you make a sandwich and put the bread in the refrigerator and the mustard in the breadbox.

I now make a mental exclamation point each and every time I go for the power switch on a tool. SCENARIO:

I was using a dado blade to create a lap joint for a project. It was not cutting

smoothly and I did two dumb things to try to help with the last 1" or so left to dado. I pulled the piece backwards over the blade and was pushing down HARD directly over the blade with my left hand. The piece kicked out and my left thumb went into the blade, dadoing it on the inside (palm side). This happened on 12-20-97 and although it cosmetically healed after the initial microsurgery I still cannot actively bend it.

ADVICE:

The doctors told me that the most frequent injuries they see are from dado blades. They are very dangerous when proper procedures are not used. I now use auxiliary push sticks, feather boards, push pads, and the miter gauge to keep my hands out of there. This also includes the router which can also violently kick a piece at times. My hands are now never in a position to be thrown into a blade or bit.

SCENARIO:

What seems to be the most causes of accidents is forgetfulness. In a club of seventy woodturners there are those who have forgotten the pry bar inside the lathe and started the lathe only to have a twirling piece of steel (used to remove morse taper drive), flying about. Another is to forget to remove the tommy bars from a scroll chuck and start the lathe. Another is not verifying the speed of the lathe and

start the lathe with a large piece of wood between center. In all cases we had different projectiles that were very dangerous fly off the lathes.

ADVICE:

Always take the time to check your machine, do not leave it up to someone else or assume someone else has verified the machine for you. Always wear a faceshield, a basic pair of safety glasses will not save your teeth should a piece of wood fly off. Never, I mean never, sand with the tool rest on. Remove it. It takes only a second either way, but the consequences of not removing one is broken fingers.

Woodturning is a fun hobby, being safe is up to you, not someone else.

TRUE news story. NOT a

joke. Maybe.A lawyer in Charlotte, NC purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim with the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued....and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

But... After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.

Who is to Blame?

• No one was to blame for the accident but it would never have happened if the other driver had been alert.

• I didn't think the speed limit applied after midnight.

• I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.

• The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.

• I was going at about 70 or 80 mph when my girlfriend reached over and grabbed my testicles so I lost control.

• I was on the way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

• On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke.

• The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week.

• Windshield broke. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo.

• No witnesses would admit having seen the mishap until after it happened.

• I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.

• The accident happened when the right front door of a car came round the corner without giving a signal.

• I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.

• I left for work this morning at 7am as usual when I collided straight into a bus. The bus was 5 minutes early.

• An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

• I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk.

• The accident happened because I had one eye on the truck in front, one eye on the pedestrian, and the other on the car behind.

• I started to turn and it was at this point I noticed a camel and an elephant tethered at the verge. This distraction caused me to lose concentration and hit a bollard.
