Stephen Cooper was unable to attend due to illness and members expressed their hope for his early recovery. Club member Colin Simpson stepped into the breech.
He offered us a choice: "Something Square" was the cry.
Make sure the stock is square and find the centre - doing it well. Mount it on a screw chuck and watch your fingers on the corners! Turn fast, approach slowly. Caress the wood using a bowl gouge with a fingernail profile. Flatten the face, cut a spigot and profile the outside. Reverse, mount it in the chuck and turn the inside making the inside and outside parallel, at least until you get into solid stock - then the edge will be nicely parallel.
