More work on the bucket.
All hands having trouble establishing correct jointer angle.
Paul’s bucket was too thin to turn as it was out of round and to turn it on the lathe would sacrifice too much wood.
Rick was missing a few staves.
Jim Hiltz's was oval in shape, as was his abdomen.

Drawing a circle and dividing it into 5 segments: See phooto in the album
Draw circle
Draw diameter C-F
Draw A-B using radius and starting at point G
Draw D-C (E-D =C-D)
Use E-C to mark off 5 segments on the circumference
Leo reviewed the math involved in the staved bucket project.Using a stop mechanism behind the jointer fence is a way to get accurate angles.
(See photos)
Leo reviewed some complicated material on measurement standards dating back before we ever established this woodwork club!
Leo demonstrated the cutting tool made from an Allen wrench for cutting the groove in the bucket bottom.
Leo demonstrated some jigs he made up to support the bucket for the turning process.
