Presidential Words

For October 2014

Dear Members,

Demo September 27th

Terry Martin gave us a wonderful

look at his Flanged Lidded

Vessels. The demo gave

everyone attending an insight into

the stages and number of

rechucking steps required to turn

these forms. Terry kept us

entertained with his turning

techniques and stories of his

journey from when he joined WSQ

in the late 80's until now. Terry

also had a number of copies of his

recently published book, the

CREATIVE WOODTURNER for

sale, but don't despair if you

missed out as he donated one to

our library.

After the Demo Terry also gave us

a short presentation of his recent

travels to China and the

Norwegian Woodturning Cruise.

Thank you Terry for a great

morning and a look back in history.

Monthly Forum October 18th

This month Charlie Edwards one

of our Top Turners will be giving us

a presentation on how he Cuts

and Routers the design on the top

of his Bowls and Platters.

Everyone who has seen these

pieces of Charlie's will want to

learn his secrets, so make sure

you don't miss this Forum. As

always we will have our critique of

members work after morning tea

and it would be timely for all

participants to bring along one of

their recently finished pieces.

October 25th - Two Part Demo

1. Getting started in Woodturning

This presentation will look at the

Wood Lathe, Lathe Tools, Power

Tools, Hand Tools and other

equipment that you will need to get

started in Woodturning without

wasting your money buying items

that you don't need. So if you are

a new member or still trying to set

yourself up, this is a must see

presentation. And after Morning

Tea.

2. The Science of Modern

Woodturning Chucks

I will be demonstrating how to get

the best out of your Woodturning

Chuck. I will showing how you to

create accurate Dovetail Spigots

and Recesses that will not fail.

Looking also at the range of jaws

that are on the market to suit these

modern chucks. A must see demo

for anyone who has lost a Bowl,

Vase or Lidded Box from their

chuck.

Special Dates for 2015

Liam O'Neil from Ireland has been

booked for February 20th, 21st

and 22nd next year. There will be

a Hands on Day on Friday the

20th, with an all-day Demo on

Saturday the 21st and another

Hands on Day on Sunday the

22nd. More details and costing

next month.

Till Next Time!

Treasurer’s Report

The Society’s major activity in September was our Annual Competition. We again had four judges, and the overall cost

of the competition was $674. The expenditure was well worth it, given the quality of the entries and the judges’

feedback. Other major expenditure during the month included the quarterly electricity account ($868) and store

purchases ($586). Total expenditure for the month was $4056. Total income was $2,804, mainly from membership

subscriptions ($933), member events ($1001) and hall letting ($520). The current cash balance is $32,448.

2014 WSQ Competition – Report

Another year, another

competition and another dose of

the creativity and skill that the

WSQ members have on offer.

There were a total 112 pieces

entered this year down from a

total of 146 in 2013. However, the

calibre of the pieces entered this

year was excellent.

The two highest scoring pieces

had a total of 190 points, 10

points shy of a perfect score.

We again had four outstanding

judges this year, who worked in

teams of two to critique the

items. Judges Eric Cameron and

Jeff Scorey from Bayside

Woodturners and John Rogers

and Ivan Medew from Bribie and

District Woodcrafters provided

excellent feedback for the

entrants.

The club appreciates the judge’s

efforts not only in judging and

feedback but also for attending

our presentation day on 25th

September to present the awards.

The presentation was well

attended with the winners being

presented their awards by the

judges. The club would also like to

acknowledge the time that the

local Councillor, Ian McKenzie

took to join us and present the

trophies. The trophy winners

were:

- Max Morris Shield:

Gary Bidgood & Paul Machin-

Everill

- Max Ma.Lu.Ca Trophy:

Paul Machin-Everill

- Ben Flack Memorial Trophy:

Charlie Edwards

- Morton Machine Tools

Encouragement Trophy:

Jeff Haylock

- Roy Hall Memorial Trophy:

Gary Bidgood

Councillor Ian McKenzie with Gary

Bidgood and Paul Machin-Everill

A special thanks also goes to the

Competition Committee

consisting of Richard Cooper, Rick

Harrison, Phil Harris, Charlie

Edwards and Harold Wiltshire.

These members have contributed

a significant amount of time to

make the 2014 competition a

success.

Thanks also goes to Mike Dodson

for catering both for the judges as

well as the awards presentation.

Flanged Vessel Demonstration

On Saturday 27th September the long time WSQ member and fountain of knowledge, Terry Martin visited the hall to provide a demonstration on how to turn and construct a flanged vessel.

Flanged Vessel Created by Terry

The demonstration was an exercise of chucking and rechucking, to perform the cuts necessary to shape the small flanged vessels. The timber Terry had selected for the turning were some pieces of red cedar that he had roughed and dried for a few years. The blanks were drilled with a 6.5mm hole to suit the screw chuck for the lathe. Before turning Terry passed around his favourite turning tool; the 20th Anniversary AAW Jerry Glaser Gouge. The tip of the blade is razor sharp which when combined with good technique produces a very clean cut with little tear out.

Jerry Glaser Gouge

Terry roughly cut the shape of the vessel, since it was a large block, he went for a taller curved profile. When cutting the shape he demonstrated some non-traditional cutting techniques and in many cases did not rub the bevel of the chisel when cutting. He followed this by saying that

the first rule of turning is safety, but after that, there really are no rules. For example, he considers his gouges to be his favourite scrapes, as they can cut cleaner with their finer edge. He recommended that if you can’t obtain a smooth curve by eye, that you can use a flexible rule and wrap it against the shape, anywhere that light shines through is either a raised area, recess or flat spot which needs further shaping. Terry finished shaping the spigot for mounting for the next part. The spigot is also two tiers for easy parting of and finishing later on. After finalising the shape the top was parted off to create the flange.

Rough Vessel Shaping and Parting

Locations

The flange piece was then remounted using the screw chuck and the original hole. The piece was shaped to have a small two tier spigot into the middle. The first tier in this scenario to create a gap between the flange and the vessel.

Rough Flange Shape

Terry then remounted the flange using the spigot in a 4 Jaw chuck to shape the top of the flange and create the small hollow.

The body was then remounted in a 4-Jaw Chuck using the bottom spigot and bored out using a Forstner bit. The size of the bit is determined by the diameter of the jaw chuck. He continued with some rough hollowing of the vessel however, he stated that it didn’t need to be perfect because the hole in the flange would be too small

to see or feel the inside of the vessel properly. After finalising the hollow of the vessel Terry shaped the insert for the flange spigot until a tight fit was formed, by cutting and checking repeatedly. Due to the dust emitted from cedar when sanding. Terry chose to finish the pieces at home with a full breathing apparatus.

He continued by discussing method he uses to embellish the flange of the vessel including pitting and piercing using a burs and scalloping and shaping using his vibrosaw. Terry finished the demonstration with the following pieces of advice. 1. Keep your tools as sharp as

possible. 2. Refine your cutting technique with

your respective tools. 3. Having a separate flange, allows

you to save more time when hollowing.

4. Cutting the flange from the same piece should allow both halves to move uniformly with changes in humidity.

After completing the demonstration Terry went through a small presentation of his exploits on the Norwegian Woodturning Cruise. He also talked about his efforts with Turners without Boarders who are currently working to bring back the skill of turning to China. Terry’s work with TWB was certainly awe-inspiring. At the end of the session Terry was presented with a certificate of appreciation. Terry also kindly donated a copy of his book “The Creative Woodturner” to the library.

QLD Towing Laws Guide

Dear Readers,

During one of the recent Tuesday workshops the issue of “new” towing laws was mentioned. There was a rumour that

was circling around the internet in early August regarding police issuing on-the-spot fines for having the incorrectly rated

“D” shackles. It started around the same time that the Department or Transport and Main Roads (TMR) released their

most recent version of the “Guide to Safe Towing”. The rumour has since been discredited by police, with an official

statement available from QPS here: http://goo.gl/w9pA4g

As of 27th October 2014, there are no rulings on the type of shackles to be used. However, in the interest of road safety,

TMR recommends that the shackles used should meet AS2741-2002 “Shackles” and should have a break load limit that

is rated at least 1.5 times greater than the ATM of the trailer.

The following is a summary of your legal requirements when it comes to towing a trailer in Queensland:

Legal Requirements

The vehicle and trailer must comply with all relevant registration requirements;

The vehicle and trailer must be in a roadworthy and safe condition;

All trailers must be fitted with a rear number plate and a registration label fixed to the left side or rear of the

body, with the label facing outwards;

Towbars and couplings must not obscure the towing vehicle’s number plate or rear lights when the trailer is not

connected;

Towing more than one trailer is prohibited;

People are not permitted to ride in the trailer or caravans; and

The speed limit for a vehicle towing a trailer is the same for a normal vehicle.

The following are some additional rules and recommendations from TMR:

Certification – Light trailers with an Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) over 750kg and up to and including 3,500kg require

current safety certificates and trailers over 3,500kg require a certificate of inspection when offered for sale or disposal,

or when being re-registered or having registration transferred from interstate.

Towbar – The load capacity of the towbar must be at least equal to the loaded mass of the trailer and must be fitted

with attachments for connecting safety chains capable of withstanding the rated load capacity of the towbar.

Couplings – Trailers that do not exceed 3,500kg ATM must have a quick release coupling. Typical approved couplings

include a 50mm ball coupling for trailers with an ATM up to 2,300kg. A heavy duty 50mm ball coupling for trailers with

an ATM up to 3,500kg and Pintle hook couplings for trailers with an ATM up to 4,500kg.

Braking – Trailers that have a GTM that does not exceed 750kg and have only a single axle, do not require brakes.

Trailers up to 2,000kg GTM require breaks on all the wheels of at least one axle and every trailer over 2,000kg GTM

require brakes on all wheels.

Safety Chains – Trailers that do not exceed 2,500kg ATM must have at least one safety chain complying with AS4177.4-

1994 or AS4177.4-2004. Trailers over 2,500kg but less than 3,500kg ATM must have two safety chains meeting

AS4177.4-1994 or AS4177.4-2004. Trailers over 3,500kg ATM must have two safety chains made from steel of a

minimum 800MPa breaking stress that conforms to the mechanical properties of Grade T chain as specified in AS2321-

1979 or AS2321-2006. Each chain must be sized that the minimum break load exceeds the ATM of the trailer.

For a full outline of the rules the “Guide to Safe Towing” can be found by searching the Department of Transport and

Main Roads Website. For convenience the following short-link will take you to the web page. http://goo.gl/pL7FG2.

Tree of the Month - Marblewood

Acacia bakeri, commonly known as Marblewood is a vulnerable species of Wattle and a member of the Fabaceae family. The native range of the species is very limited and exists in both tropical and sub-tropical rainforests ranging from Maryborough, QLD to Brunswick Heads, NSW. There are currently initiatives in both states to reintroduce the species and you can purchase sapling from a number of native nurseries. Description The Marblewood is one of the largest of all Acacias, growing up to 40 – 50 meters tall. However, many of the existing plants are much shorter due to forest clearing, and its relatively slow growth rate. The plant can be found growing in volcanic and alluvial soils along the East coast of Australia, and is one of the few Wattles that does not require fire for seed germination. As with most wattles, the tree has long strappy dark green leaves with multiple veins running along the length. The cream coloured flowers are round and fluffy. When pollinated the tree produces, long bean like pods.

Uses The Marblewood timbers has a heartwood that is yellow to golden brown with irregular brown, purple or black streaks weaving through the timber. The sapwood is paler with a solid yellowish colour and lacks the streaks of the heartwood. The grain can be straight or slightly interlocked and can have some open pores. The timber of the Marblewood tree is incredibly figured. The base colour of the timber is golden and has veins of dark brown racing through the timber.

Marblewood Bowl – Gary Camardo, Rosewood and Birch

Due to its high density the timber can have a blunting effect on tools. It has range of applications including flooring, veneer, turned objects, cabinetry, instruments and fine furniture.
