Demonstration: Sanding
Bill Berry and Jim Keller, who appear slightly out of focus here, were
anything but in discussing the ins and outs of sanding. |
Bill emphasized the important of protecting one's lungs
when sanding and demonstrated several different techniques. |
Jim reviewed a number power sanding option,
including his favorite, his Milwaukee
close-quarter
drill. |
Jim even admitted that it's sometimes necessary to resort to a
"40-grit gouge" sometimes, especially when working with pieces
that have an abundance of negative space. |
For most of us, it's "sand, sand, sand...and
then, sand some more!. |
Faces In the Crowd and Other Pictures
September's meeting was held at Woodcraft's new location on I-45 & FM
1960W. |
A critique was conducted in Woodcraft's Library.
Here Kendall Westbrook comments about the form and finish of a piece
included. |
Jerry Bennett also critiqued member pieces, as he
did at the August meeting. |
Another shot of the critique session. These sessions are
designed to allow members to get constructive feedback
without criticism
on their pieces from Advanced Turners. |
Club president, George Kabacinski opened the
meeting with announcements. |
