Ellsworth gave an all day demo, and discussed and demonstrated in detail the making of a bowl, a natural edge bowl, a hollow form, as well as discussed his unique views on sharpening woodturning tools
Notes from David Vannier, but first thanks to David for setting this up:
I'm fairly certain that everyone that attended today's demo will agree that David Ellsworth is an outstanding turner and demonstrator. I personally "learned" a number of things and will be trying use them.
Unfortunately I won't be able to try to put them into practice for at least a couple of weeks, so I hope that I remember it well enough then to put it to use. I also want to personally thank all of the people that pitched in and helped pull this demo off. There is plenty of work that goes into making this happen, examples:
* Curtis did a great job running the camera, letting all of us see what
was going on.
* George provided the lathe, and he and Jim help me move it to the LAYC facility.
*
Grant got us in and had the chair set up by the time we got there @
8:00.
* Gene provided the transportation for David.
* Edgar brought in the donuts, projector, camera equipment, ....
* Leroy for the coffee!
* & of course thanks for all the help in cleaning up to everyone that pitched in!
