After a short break, the evenings demonstration by Kurt Hertzog got started |
Kurt's demo was on the shaping, sharpening, and various uses of the Ellsworth gouge |
Kurt explains the importance of the different shapes ground into the gouge |
|

|
He demonstrates the use of the Ellsworth sharpening jig |
Kurt shows the versatility of the Oneway Varigrind jig used for the same purpose |
Once the jig is set, the sharpening is pretty straight forward |
Kurt shows the "pull" cut used to face the bowl blank |

The Ellsworth or Irish grind also does a nice job of roughing the stock |
Here the tool is used in the traditional bowl gouge cut to do some rough shaping |
The shear cut is demonstrated showing it's ability to generate very fine and whispy curls as the surface is cleaned up |
The tool can also be used to quickly "hog" out the stock in a bowl |

Kurt explains the technique of going to the finished wall thickness as you progressively deepen the hollowing |
He shows the path he'll take as he continues hollowing |
The demo continues as Kurt progressively deepens the bowl |
With questions fielded along the way, last questions were asked as the demo finishes up |
