Tony Cliffe came to our meeting and demonstrated the delicate art of Ornamental Turning. His demo was preceded by a powerpoint presentation to explain the theory and history of Ornamental Turning. He had a complicated setup of a (stationary) lathe which he indexed to enable a complex pattern of cuts to be made using a separate cutting machine. The whole process was very time consuming but yielded an interesting design on the work. Link to the Society of Ornamental Turners bulletin 136.

A good deal of interest
and purchases from the public this year yielded a very tidy sum for
the club coffers.
Lots of interesting questions and numerous contact details given. Several
enquirers had lathes left to them which
were gathering dust in sheds and outbuildings. We expect some extra
visitors in the next few months as they seek
help to re-assemble their lathes and get started.

Gary demonstrated several new ideas he'd had since his
last visit to us. After a refresher demo
for the new members on spindle turning the basic shapes,
he moved on to an unusual spinning top
device of his own creation (?)
