March 2006 Meeting

Jerry Weisedel did the demo on Springett spheres

The first key is making the chuck to hold the piece

Jerry shows the proper technique for using the undercutting tool

An assortment of home made and purchased tools

A partially turned sphere with a plug in it for further turning

Accuracy is key with this type of turning

A sphere with the layout done

Jerry trims the plug on a nearly completed sphere

After turning the plugs need to be removed

Jerry puts a screw in the plug and pulls with pliers

Jerry sends the finished turning around for inspection

The crowd was excited by the great demo
