Getting setup for the Jimmy Clewes demo on Saturday, April 30th, hosted by the Pembroke Woodturners Guild |
The demonstration was held in the auditorium of the Pembroke High School |
The audience starts to arrive and get settled while Jimmy checks out the equipment |
At 9am, Jimmy gets the day long demonstration started |

Jimmy get started on a winged, lidded box as the first of four projects for the day |
He starts with a rectangular piece and turns at high speed |
By turning it high rpm, the quality of the intermittent cut is improved |
After completing the base, Jimmy works on the lid of the box |

He finishes up and passes it to the audience for review |

Jimmy gets started on his second project, a green wood, deep hollowed vase |
Leaving some bark for a natural edge, he strips the bark, puts on a spigot and mounts it in a chuck |

Jimmy demos the hollowing using a variety of hollowing tools |
Taking a quick break for lunch, the group has a Subway sub lunch as part of the demo fee |

Jimmy also quickly does a long stemmed goblet in Walnut with a captive ring |
His last piece for the day is a shallow turning with surface decoration and dyeing |
As contrast for the hollowing, Jimmy puts in silver leaf |
