Prepping Ice Cream Scoop Handles

[Charlie_W]

Our Woodturning club is having a Girl Scout Woodturning event this Saturday. Two sessions with up to 8 in each session. I have prepped these maple blanks with the tenon for the ferrule, drilled and tapped ready to mount and turn round and shape. We will have a turning mentor for each Turner for one on one instruction.
We are using the Woodcraft Ice Cream Stainless scoop and will use a Mineral Oil/Beeswax finish. We will send each one home with a small tin of Mineral Oil/Beeswax for maintaining the scoops.
In 2017, our club did a Boy Scout turning event with the same scoops. That time, we did three groups of 8 in one day....and took 8 lathes to the site. This time, we are having the scouts come to the lathes.......work smarter, not harder.
These were turned with a 3/8" beading and parting tool and a 1/2" skew.

The Girl Scout slogan, which has been used since 1912, is "Do a good turn daily."

Awesome, Only thing I might add to your prep work is to add a little thin CA to the threads, unless you're going to glue them in permanently.

Yup….the plan is a little epoxy to lock them in place.

Interesting! Thanks, I'll pass that along.

BTW, isn't that the phrase Don Ward uses all the time?

Perhaps. Was Don Ward in the Girl Scouts? ;-)

When I searched for "Girl Scout Slogan", I found the text on the internet. I was a little surprised, because it was the same slogan I learned in the Boy Scouts when I was young.

@its_virgil ?

The Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts of America use the slogan: Do a good turn daily.
As in good deed.

Note with the exception of less than 8 countries (as of 1996, I do not know the current numbers), the Scouts are 1 organization and not 2. So makes sense the slogans are the same.

Congratualtions Charlie,
That will be a fun and worthwhile thing to do! I can't imagine how fun that will be for you, too. Please take a photo or two and tell how it went......
