Lauren and I will be demonstrating eccentric pendant turning at the next AAW Symposium (Tampa, in June).

We recently prepared some text and photos for the session handouts, and thought a few of the photos might entertain some of the folks here.

1) Using an eccentric jig to vary the axis of the faceplate.

2) Eccentric arcs cut into this piece of Corian have been filled with Inlace (with metallic dye) and returned to the lathe for final shaping.

3) Combining wood with jasper and Chinese jade beading.

4) Re purposing a photo ball head as a work holder, so Lauren can more easily do pyrography, piercing, inking, etc. The ball head is affixed through a square dog hole in this 100 year old Christensen work bench. A microphone stand boom arm make a comfortable wrist rest.

5) A simple piece of maple, with a raised bead around the "canvas" area where Lauren did some zentangling patterns. Finished with General WTF applied through an airbrush.

Hi Alan....wonderful work. Do you have a webite where we can see more of your work? Its been a while since anyone has posted any pendant work and it is very exciting to see it. Great lathe and finishing detail. Do you know yet what section you will be doing your demo in? Regards Darrell

Thanks for the kind words.

I haven't updated my web site in some time... but you can see a few of our shop project here and on the links on the left side of that page.

As for the AAW Symposium... we don't have any scheduling/rotation information yet. We hope to see some of you there.

Alan,

Great work. Like the inlace inlay. Did you put that in a pressure pot or just let it sit to cure?

Is that your own jig or someone else's like Ruth Niles?

John,

There's no need for pressure pot with Inlace used like this.

The jig is made by an IAP member, Richard Joyner, and is sold by NilesBottleStoppers.com and by TurningWood.com.
