Our October guest demonstrator is Craig Timmerman. He will demonstrate his process for turning a delightful multi-axis project he calls a Weed pot. A link to his handout for this project is included at the end of the short description – Making Multi-axis Weed pots.
This is a fun and simple project to experiment with multi-axis turning. These weed pots are miniature versions of the large vases I show in my multi-axis vase and spout off vase demos. They are turned using many of the same concepts, without the complexity of having to hollow out a vessel. As an added plus, they can be done on almost any size lathe. Optionally, this demo can also cover regular weed pots, which are a great exercise for those new to turning as a practice in spindle work and help in creating shapes and forms that are pleasing to the eye.
