Woodturning – December 2018

In issue 325 of Woodturning magazine we have lots for you to enjoy. In Projects, Andy Coates turns a matching pair of handled espresso cups; Andrew Potocnik uses Australian blackwood to make a box with a finial; Michael Alguire shows how to produce his signature Wheel of Delicacy; and Stuart Thomas makes an apple box. We’re also getting ready for Christmas with Colwin Way’s plans for a festive queen nutcracker and Chris West’s design for a hanging ornament.

In our Techniques section, Mark Sanger explores integrating carving on turned work; Les Symonds constructs jigs for batch producing three-legged stools; Richard Findley learns how to add coloured inlay to a curved surface; Chris Grace discusses making the best use of the tools we already have; and Geoffrey Laycock continues his series on workshop safety by considering how past incidents inform present actions.

In Features, we meet Oregon-based turner Jim Piper; Kurt Hertzog finds out more about professional turner Willie Simmons; John Plater considers the sensitive issue of giving and accepting advice; and in Featured Artist, Gabor Lacko and Patricia Spero tell us about their latest collaboration.

As well as all this, our ‘Kit & Tools’ pages focus on small hollowing tools, plus there’s the ‘Leader’ from the Editor, ‘Community news’, and a sneak peek at our next issue.

All this and more in Woodturning 325!
