segmented turning demo

some of you will remember that about a year ago i did a segmented demo at my club. it was my first ever demo and was about 2 1/4 hrs long. well i have just been asked to do another one at a club in the wear valley it is the club that andy hall ( the hat man) runs. so i will have to start and get sorted with all my preparations. i will have to do 3 vases to do this demo as i am going to do a write up to go with the demo and need to do a photo session of all the stages along the way.

You worried about the last one at least this will be easier as you now know what to expect. All the best with it

thank you Derek

you are right and i have learnt from the last and will be doing this on the same but  there will be a few changes to the way i do small items of it. but if you don't do it you will never know.

Hi Dennis - well done. As I said in a previous comment a while back - fame at last

Are you planning on posting any photos taken at the demo?

Simon

Did you enjoy yourself, and was it easier the second time around.

hi Simon and Derek thank you for the comments. Simon i am hoping to get some photos from a friend that was ther so if i get them i will post some on the site. Derek yes i did enjoy my self. i had a little hickup on one part of it, a chucking point come of as the hot glue come away but was able to remount it and carry on any way. it was easyer the second time around and i will be considering doing another one as our club profesional has said he can maybe get me a few in this area that happen on a night after work. dennis
