And Rollie is one of the "Seminar Presenters" at "The Woodworking Shows".   The traveling ones - that used to start the first weekend in Jan and run for about 4 months.  That's going to start out a LOT different this year - with there being on-line sessions for 3 or 4 weekends starting in March(?).
Really enjoyed his sessions!
I'm curious how the "Vendors & Demonstrators" are going to do their thing.  I have bought something at every one of the Shows that come to my area.  In fact myself and others always look forward to seeing demos of "stuff" we have read about over the previous 12 months - and hold of on pulling the trigger on them until we see them demonstrated at The Show!  Hard to replace the eyeball to eyeball and hold in your hand experiences when it comes to buying tools!

Hey on another note do you happen to know or have you ever met Rollie Johnson, contributing Editor to "Fine Woodworking"?
He travels and does a lot of teaching and training. He actually lives out about 45 minutes from me here in Minnesota.

I teach woodturning classes.  The one I did today is local.
I traveled around some and did demos and hands on classes at clubs or
symposia.  I use the past tense as the covid has made that difficult for the
last year.  I will probably start again as it gets better, but using Zoom
may have some effect on that.

Thanks for sharing that Anthony.
I find that very interesting and appreciate your attention
to detail.

You come across as a true craftsman.
I can also tell you are passionate about your turnings.
Are you teaching woodworking classes? Just curious and
you don't have to answer if you wish not too.

Kind Regards,

Here are some pictures of a cup chuck that I am using to make boxes like I
showed images of earlier.
It must be sized correctly to the piece being held, and the inside leading
edge has to be crisp and within a degree or two of 90.
If the chuck is correct, you can do most eliptical work in it.

Hey Anthony,

Any time you reference something like this chuck your talking about can you
download a pix or two?
Just be curious to see some of these items. Possibly others would be
interested too?

Kind Regards,

A cup chuck.  The important part of the cup chuck is shaped like the inside
of a coffee cup with the rim being very crisp and of a diameter just
slightly smaller than the major diameter of the sphere and friction holds
the sphere in place while you work it.  The sphere can be placed in the cup
chuck at any orientation to permit access to its entire surface.  To make
the box, all of the work on the sphere is done in the cup chuck except the
initial step of turning the stock from square to approximate sphere.
The internal box, that piece that comes out of the sphere, is turned mostly
in a regular four-jawed chuck with one step done in a jam chuck.

them are pretty cool. What method are you using to turn the circles on the
completed Ball type turning?

I attached an image of the barley twist and a series of photos of a style of
box I have been making lately.
One of the difficulties with the twist is that the travel may not be
constant throughout its length.  I have only the two examples, and it is
difficult to be certain what is happening.

Sorry I did not see your reply to the bone question.

Do not boil your bone. a hot water bath will not hurt the bone, but boiling
will weaken the bone.

Hydrant peroxide a 2-3% will remove the oil and whiten up the bone, if left
to soak in it for a week or two.

here are some pix. of some of my turnings.

I bought the femur at

I have never glued bone before.  I guess that you might need to boil it
first.  Most of the bone I have worked with has a fair amount of oil in it.
I have had some boiled bone, it seems leached of oil, but I have never
turned it.

I am primarily a turner.  I have turned lots of things, but lately been
making boxes for fun and balusters and similar things for money.

Very Nice Anthony!

Awesome wand.

Where did you find A Giraffe femur?

What I have been doing is cutting bone disks out of Cow bones, and then
gluing the disks into a solid blanks for my turnings. sorta like making bone
Plywood. It take more time to make the blank then it dose to turn it. But
the results are very nice.
Please let us know more about what you are doing.

I read that you were considering turning some bone.
I have turned a couple of kinds of bone, this wand is made of Giraffe femur.
It is the densest bone, and has the largest cross section that I have used.
The other materials are Blackwood, Bocote, Pink Ivory, Boxwood, Verawood,
Satine, and Osage Orange.
I call it the Eveready Swiss Army Utility Wand.  Had to get the magical
batteries, the small pieces that screw into the base of the handle, by
seagull, the owls can't fly across the Atlantic, from the Eveready shop in
Diagon Alley.  The toothpick was necessary to quality for Swiss Army.

HI everyone.

I hope everyone  is well?

Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been
looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the
internet today.

I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone
disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can
turn, soon.
The problem is What should I make?
I don't like pen's!
I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of
projects.

I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores,
looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck
finding anything new.
So I thought I would ask you all.  Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that
you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff.  Perhaps a letter opener?
or ???

Any and all ideas are welcome.

Looking forward to talking to you all more.

Have a good night.

C.A.G.
