Bob Harrington has been busy making pens practicing his skew techniques |
Brian Mazuchowski, Paul's son, shows his sword turning |
Paul Mazuchowski shows his fluted bowls, also the demonstration for the evening |
After a short break, Paul gets the evenings demonstration on Fluting started |
|

Here Paul shows one of the key ingredients to fluting, a good repeatable indexing system made per the plans in the latest AAW Journal |
Most of the fluting is done with a sanding disk on an inexpensive air driven die grinder |
While the turnout for the meeting was small, everyone stayed for the interesting demonstration |
With his indexing w/ locking mechanism and work surface mounted, Paul's ready to layout his fluting |
|

With the fluting layout planned and marked, Paul gets started cutting the first flute |
While it does require a touch, the fluting is straight forward and much easier than by hand |
The first flute rough cut and the blank indexed to the position for the next flute |
Paul tips the work surface to mark and demonstrate curved fluting on the vessel |
|

Using the same die grinder and sander, Paul creates the first curved flute |
The same tools and techniques can be used to do top, bottom, and inside fluting |
Here is an example of a bowl with inside fluting |
With an explantion of the various sanding techniques, Paul finishes up a great presentation |
