Leo started th evening with a demonstration of how to transfer and enlarge a drawing. The photos show how this is done. He used an example of a sketch for a sculpture done by Robert (a logarithmic curve design). He then went about explaining how to transfer lines so that one could proportionally enlarge this design to a desired ratio
eg 1 and 2/3 larger.
Next he demonstrated how to sand an eccentrically turned cylinder. He used a brace that was bolted to the lathe bed. A stick is pivoted against it with sand paper held by hand (on the stick) and the lathe is turned slowly.
Next Leo went over a few finishes. He stated that Salad Bowl finish is the most durable and best. Urethane oil finish is next and Danish Oil finish next. The oil finishes have to dry a few days between coats. He starts sanding the finish at 1500 grit and then goes to a polish.
