Presentations
Glue Blocks for the Lathe with Noel Green
Using a bought aluminum face plate, attach a glue block with a slight concave surface. This is dipped into a small frying pan that contains melted glue sticks. The bowl blank is centered and held against the glue block. Once dried then it is turned. Advantage of this method is that there is no wasted bowl blank by turning a spigot in it to be held in a chuck.
The bowl is released from the glue block by spraying denatured alcohol (methyl hydrate) on the hot glue. In a few minutes it softens the glue and the bowl can be separated.
Charcuterie Board- Woven Pattern with Paul Kidson
Start by gluing several pieces of different wood temporarily on top of each other (using drops of super glue) then making a wavy cut with a bandsaw through them. The pieces are separated then mixed up so a bottom board is matched with a top board then stacked, glued and cut again. This is done several times. Then a thin piece of contrasting wood is used between the various woods when gluing up the final board and laying out the woven pattern using all the cut pieces.
