President's Challenge, Feb 2015

See how I come up with a multiaxis interpretation of Rude Osolnik style candlesticks, using a technique called "Therming"

[@alansimpson596]

As an amateur turner I fully endorse Brian's recommendation that you join your local wood turning club. I've enjoyed and benefited greatly from having had a whole day's demonstration from internationally renowned turners.
Also, there's a great social side as you meet like-minded people and the competitions are great fun.

[@allanwright5736]

Thanks Brian I really love your demo's. Good for me to see that even the experts some time make little mistakes.

So i went online and youre video was the first i found and then you mentioned "Therming"........ man a hole new world opened for me :-)

Greetings from Holland.
Peter.

[@robertcornelius3514]

Joining a club is a very good suggestion. I been in one for two years now and just love it.

[@vitoriomartinez5955]

Thanks Brian, very good videos, with very good vision and placement of the cameras. As I do not know English, I am guided by the images and they are very good plans to appreciate the details of your work. Thank you and best regards from Barcelona, ​​Spain.

[@RickMcQuay]

Learned a ton, thanks.

[@KennethHayes08XX]

Thanks for your videos they are very helpful as I'm just getting into wood turning. I had no idea that these type of meeting were even a thing but there are several of them in my area and i'm going to look into finding one that fits.

[@CyrusTabery]

Really enjoyed that. WTG leaving the mistakes in - thought I was the only one ;)

[@saidchoucair9247]

Dear Brian, I learn a lot from your technics and your knowledge passed on with great wisdom, fruit of undeniable experience with woodturning. I am a woodworking aficionado of laser hours, the lathe is one of the machines that I have less experience with. I would like to ask you if this technique of drilling the part, with the Fostner drill does not present a great risk of accident, since, if the wood splits your hand, it can meet the drill by turning hundreds of turns?
Thank you very much. I wish you a lot of success and health, and also a big hug from Brazil. Said Choucair.

bello trabajo

[@geoffgwyther7269]

someone needs an electric screwdriver for Christmas.

[@curtgeorge]

Very nice!.I would suggest to make your blanks with square holes instead of round. You can hold the spindles in the squares, making it easer to index and change out.

[@BHavensWoodworker]

I have tried several other approaches to jigs, and I will have to try the square mortises too. I have not found a single type of terming jig that works well for all types of therming project, but rather that certain types of jigs work better for certain types of work. The advantage of the round holes is that turners that do not also work with flat wood could still use it. The big down side with the round mortises is that it easily racks. As you point out, the advantage of the square mortises would be easy to change out and index; but would be limited to 90 degree faces (e.g. no triangles, hexes)

[@geoffgwyther7269]

hey hey, half way through you got one.

[@dennisbuckner6957]

interesting drilling technique

[@hraun2berg]

Thank you for that lesson Brian, the sise of that gig you where using, how big is it in diameter? in millimeters please😊
Best regards, Júlíus

[@BHavensWoodworker]

6" (about 150mm) is a good size.

[@hraun2berg]

Thank you

[@gsilcoful]

Wow.

[@pesbes6062]

Robbie the Woodturner shows an example of this using a faceplate.
