Challenge for the Sept/Oct meeting:

[gketell]

Well, we didn't get to a demo this meeting so let me just throw a suggestion out there...

How about a "Turned Coffee Scoop" challenge? Normally a "Coffee scoop" is two tablespoons but for this all we will care about is a turned scoop. If you are looking for a real challenge, do a full set of measuring spoons.

Thoughts?

Hmm, a scoop. That sounds like fun

Gives me something new to try.

I like it. Interesting idea. Thanks again Greg.

so what if you do not drink coffee!

Then you can use your scoop to put sugar in a sugar bowl or some other thing in your kitchen.
Scoops are a good learning item. Think outside of the box for a way to use it.

Then you are making a prototype for your 2013 Christmas Gifts. :biggrin:

 

[kenlicciardello]

I'm caught up at work so I will try one. Just warning you, it may come out looking like a fork or skewer though.

 

[nava1uni]

Then if you use it for sugar you won't get too much. HaHa.
Glad that your vacation was nice. Missed seeing you. See you at the next meeting.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been off the grid lately but I'm back and turning wood. This looks like an interesting challenge. I'll have to read up on it and see what I can turn out.

I did a quick search on Google for turning a coffee scoop and there be a link to IAP from 2008. A redwood coffee scoop turning from Greg. I thought, 2008?, Greg's been around here a long time. Then I realized how long I've been around IAP. Hard to imagine I've been doing this so long and I started with a very small Turncrafter lathe. Time flies.

We're getting old, Dave. Time keeps on slipping slipping slipping into the future.

That has been the only coffee scoop I've made. I'm going to try making a different kind of jamb-chuck for this one. Having the scoop flying across the room multiple times just was too scary!

And miss all the excitement?
