(Rick called in sick!)
The lads met on January 8/13 after the Christmas Holliday.
Work continued on the rolling pins and the Sushi tray.
Paul had a turned rolling pin that had no centre drilled.
Leo demonstrated how to drill it on the lathe.
To protect the wood, tape some wooden blocks of equal thickness on the jaws of the 4-jaw chuck.
This is to protect the wood.
The piece is held between centres.
The headstock chuck is rotated and the jaws are tightened in individually until the wood is centered.
An accurate way to do this is to place one end of a long stick under the workpiece, extending away from the lathe and resting on the tool rest.
As the headstock is turned by hand the far end of this stick can be seen to go up and down according to the degree that the piece is out of centre.
Adjust the jaws accordingly until there is very little movement at the end of the stick.
Leo has been granted the Order of Canada and a celebratory cake was presented in this great honour. We all agreed that it his high time that this award was given to the Professor.
Two new people attended from Louisbourg:
Gary Perry and Bennie Fudge
