Utah Symposium '02 - Day 1


The Utah Woodturning Symposium is held on the Brigham Young University campus	The first morning everyone gathers in the auditorium for a review of the speakers	There are 11 rotations with 10 speakers in each rotation	I first attended Alan Batty's session on sharpening

Alan walked through virtually all of the common turning tools	He then demonstrated the sharpening of each followed some test cuts	The ring tool was one of tools requiring honing only	The three sided point tool is often mishapen by improper grinding

My second rotation choice was Petter Herrud, a Norwegian turner	Petter sets up for his multi-center lidded box turning demo	He turns the box lid and hand chases the threads	Then Petter makes and threads the bottom of the box

By using multiple centers, Petter can make flats or twists on the sides	It's nice to have Bonnie Klein run your camera	The off center turning requires a heavy lathe to dampen vibration	Even nicer to have Bonnie Klein hold the light for you
