They are cut to a depth where Stuart can continue hollowing |
He follows the plan he had laid out on the chaulkboard |
As he thins the walls, some of the debris escapes through the cuts on the side |
Stuart tapes a light to the gouge so he can hollow and see the progress |
|

|
With this simple setup, he can see the progress from the outside as well as the thickness |
Stopping and using a larger lamp, he can better assess the progress so far |
He deepens the cuts that need it |
The walls are at the thickness he wants and the spirals are all through |

With a Foredom tool, he power cuts the edges of the cuts to soften them finishing the demo |
One of the other sessions in that time slots was the penturning session |
It was a demo of making a high end pen set by Emory McLaughlin |

Every day between morning sessions, there was a refreshment break |
My Friday rotation 5 selection was Stuart Batty doing bowl turning |
Stuart sharpened his tools for the particular cut he was making at the time |
He explains why one gouge angle can't do all that is required |

The bowl is progressively hollowed to minimize movement in the sidewall |
The small bevel at the tip is what he will ride on to make the deeper cuts |
After turning the bowl, Stuart makes a jam chuck to fit |
The bowl is mounted to the jam chuck and secured with tape |
