SHAVINGS<br />
...from the Prez<br />
Mike Jackofsky<br />
Greetings All<br />
It’s time to shift gears, and take<br />
advantage of our great warmer<br />
weather, and be more creative<br />
in the shop! With many activities<br />
approaching, such as our<br />
annual picnic with a unique<br />
raffle of donated turnings, and<br />
the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> County Fair<br />
with competition generating<br />
many rewards, we need to<br />
plan our turning schedule.<br />
I know many of you appreciated<br />
the presentation by Michael<br />
Hosaluk, because I observed<br />
much note taking and photographing.<br />
No matter how long<br />
or much you’ve been turning,<br />
you undoubtedly picked<br />
up some new ideas from his<br />
marvelous demo! I am eagerly<br />
anticipating viewing our next<br />
Instant Gallery to see his influ-<br />

(All Day - No Charge. Lunch NOT provided)<br />
Mike Jackofsky<br />
Mike Jackofsky has agreed to conduct a free all day<br />
meeting for our club members. He will be discussing<br />
everything you could ever want to know about using<br />
your bowl gouge to cut both a bowl and a hollow form.<br />
The bowl gouge is one of the most important tools you<br />
will use in woodturning and many people have trouble<br />
deciding what to do with it when they do. Mike will go<br />
over how the grain affects the cuts and how to finesse the<br />
wood into your desired shape.<br />

Airbrush Techniques<br />
w/Joe Fleming<br />
From Joe: “I will be demonstrating airbrush techniques. I will talk<br />
about paint and dye selection, air brush cleaning, and how to transition<br />
from oil to alcohol to water-based materials. I’ll show some practice<br />
techniques to develop your own air brush skills. We will explore some<br />
painting techniques like how to do masking, how to do shading, and<br />
how to blend colors.”<br />
As many of you read in these pages ia month or so ago, Joe hosted a<br />
two day airbrushing class at his shop for club members. I found this<br />
class (and the information presented) fascinating and enlightening.<br />
I’ve included some examples of work (mine, Joe’s, and others from the<br />
class) below. Don’t miss this program. It could very well be one od<br />
those “ah-ha” moments in your wood turning.<br />

See you there!<br />

Have fun, work hard, and stay<br />
safe!<br />

Feelers Out!!!<br />
As we approach Spring and the<br />
work that people typically do in<br />
their yards please keep your “feelers”<br />
out. Tree removal happens<br />
for a number of reasons and we<br />
want to be ready. Yes, we want to<br />
add to our wood inventory. Black<br />
acacia, ironbark eucalyptus, maple,<br />
sycamore, and maple are on our<br />
“must have” list. These woods and<br />
of course some of the old standbys<br />
(ash, walnut, olive, citrus, avocado,<br />
etc.) are welcome anytime. Give me<br />
a call if you come across something<br />
that you think might be of interest to<br />
the SDWTs, (619) 403-0377.<br />
The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Wood Turner Meeting<br />
in <strong>March</strong> will highlight one of our own. Yes, Mike Jackofsky is<br />
generously volunteering his time. Mike is an outstanding turner who<br />
is always willing to share his knowledge with club members. Please<br />
come and purchase that special piece of wood to apply some of what<br />
you will learn from Mike. Actually, you should purchase several<br />
pieces!!!<br />
Wood is $.25/lb and anchorseal is $15/gallon. <strong>March</strong> should be the<br />
month where you look at purchasing the wood and sealer needed for a<br />
busy Spring at the lathe.<br />
Those of you purchasing wood in <strong>March</strong> are eligible for a special treat<br />
in April. If you purchase wood in <strong>March</strong> and turn it into something and<br />
bring it back in April (can be a rough or finished turning) you will get a<br />
free 10-20 lb. piece of wood of your choice from our wood collection.<br />
Your piece could end up on the share table but does not have to in order<br />
for you to be eligible. Don’t miss out!!!<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello SDWT Members,<br />
While researching the size ranking<br />
of our AAW Chapter (in<br />
2012, we were the 9th largest<br />
out of 300), I also found that the<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong>, Inc.<br />
was the 8th Chapter inducted<br />
in the American Association of<br />
<strong>Woodturners</strong>. We were so early<br />
that we own the rights to use<br />
the name “<strong>Woodturners</strong>” in our<br />
chapter name. Any California<br />
chapter that wants to include<br />
“<strong>Woodturners</strong>” in their name<br />
needs permission from us – and<br />
that means just about all of<br />
them!<br />
If you want to:<br />
- join the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong><br />
- renew AAW and/or SDWT<br />
membership<br />
- check your member number<br />
or renewal date<br />
- add your photo to the<br />
SDWT Membership Directory<br />
- obtain a new 2013 Membership<br />
Card for local merchant<br />
discounts<br />
- order a Membership Badge<br />
(wear your badge and receive 1<br />
extra raffle ticket!)<br />
- have an idea for our club …<br />
… please see the instructions at<br />
the end of the newsletter, just<br />
before the membership application,<br />
or contact me at Leonard-<br />
Badour@roadrunner.com.<br />
Thanks to everyone who renewed<br />
on time. It makes my<br />
job easier. Nearly all of the<br />
long time (pre-2011) members<br />
renewed by year’s end; newer<br />
members have a renewal anniversary<br />
date, the date they<br />
joined AAW and SDWT. About<br />
two months before the AAW<br />
membership expires, your AAW<br />
Journal will have a colored notice<br />
attached.<br />
Also, each AAW Journal Label<br />
shows your member number and<br />
renewal date with each issue.<br />
Your SDWT membership renewal<br />
date is the same as your<br />
AAW renewal date, no matter<br />
when you joined SDWT. When<br />
you receive an AAW Journal<br />
with a renewal notice, it’s also<br />
time to also renew your SDWT<br />
membership. (For insurance<br />
purposes, SDWT members must<br />
also be AAW members.)<br />
As of <strong>March</strong> 2011, all new memberships<br />
were converted from<br />
the older calendar basis to anniversary<br />
basis. If you have any<br />
questions about your membership<br />
renewal, please call AAW at<br />
(651) 484-9094.<br />

This Month:<br />
Mike Jackofsky!<br />
I decided to do something a little different from what most of you are used to seeing from me. Instead of just<br />
focusing on hollow forms for the whole day, I will do something closer to my normal demos I sometimes do<br />
when I visit other clubs.<br />
I will do a quick, small hollow vessel project, but I will use most of the<br />
time to concentrate more on general woodturning. I intend to spend some<br />
time on using and sharpening bowl gouges because I think that can be a<br />
confusing part of woodturning to many turners.<br />
I will make an open bowl and also show how I make a spinning top with<br />
chatter and maybe a small box.<br />
I don’t have any exact plan, but that way I can take questions about any area of woodturning that you guys<br />
want to cover. I intend to move fast in going through a number of projects during the day, in an attempt to<br />
keep ( at least most of) you guys<br />
from falling asleep!<br />
See you there!<br />
Mike<br />
Mike J Introduces New Tools...<br />
Mike Jackofsky is pleased to introduce two new additions to the Hollow Pro tool line. The “Rocket” is a set<br />
of 3/8” shaft small vessel tools; available as a set (one straight and one bent tool) both with #1 Hunter cutters.<br />
These tools will allow you to hollow small vessels up to 7” wide by 7” tall though openings as small as 1/2”.<br />
Both tools have Mike’s “negative” angle for increased control and smooth finishing cuts on the interior.<br />
Also available are the new Hollow Pro Calipers. Available in small and large sizes, they will accommodate<br />
accurate and repeatable measurements in vessels from 8” diameter x 6 1/4” deep (small) to 18” diameter x 11<br />
3/4” deep (large).<br />
Tools will be available for inspection and purchase at the <strong>March</strong> meeting. Mike will offer special club pricing<br />
at this months meeting.

What’s Up and Coming in the Club<br />
By Karen Freitas<br />
<strong>March</strong> is fast approaching and<br />
so is Mike Jackofsky’s all day<br />
demo. We will be only charging<br />
$10 (we had to raise the price<br />
of lunch to cover the increasing<br />
cost of food) for lunch and<br />
you get to enjoy an entire day<br />
of first class instruction on how<br />
to get the best cut on your bowl<br />
or hollow form using both a<br />
bowl gouge and carbide cutting<br />
tools. Mike has taught around<br />
the country (for a price) and we<br />
get all his knowledge handed to<br />
us because he is one of our own<br />
members. I want to thank Mike<br />
for donating his time and showing<br />
us how to use our tools. It’s<br />
both a learning lesson to new<br />
turners and refresher for those a<br />
little more seasoned.<br />
Mike has offered to conduct a<br />
one, two or three day class and<br />
we will be taking names at the<br />
meeting.<br />
April<br />
For our April Demo we will<br />
welcome Joe Fleming as our<br />
demonstrator. He brings a wealth<br />
of knowledge of many things but<br />
this demo will focus on using<br />
color and airbrushing to enhance<br />
our turnings. He uses color<br />
in many of his pieces and the<br />
preparation and finish are just<br />
outstanding. I have seen some of<br />
his airbrushing techniques and<br />
he is able to get some beautiful<br />
colors or pictures that remind<br />
of Bin Pho. I hope we see you<br />
there.<br />
May<br />
May will be our annual Picnic.<br />
This is a time we all get together<br />
to celebrate spring and enjoy<br />
each other’s company. Bring<br />
the family to Ken Roth’s house<br />
and let the kids run wild! (Hey<br />
it’s not my house.) Seriously, he<br />
has a beautiful and very large<br />
yard with its own stream running<br />
through it. The kids will love to<br />
chase the crawdads and hopefully<br />
not get too wet. We also hold<br />
our biggest and best raffle of the<br />
year. Everyone is encouraged to<br />
turn a favorite object and donate<br />
it to the raffle. This raffle has<br />
been my favorite since I pick up<br />
great artwork for my collection.<br />
I still have a few more peoples<br />
turnings that I need to add to my<br />
collection. So come on down<br />
and bring the family. There is a<br />
charge for lunch but I’m not sure<br />
of the amount so I won’t guess.<br />
June<br />
June is set to be another new<br />
thing to learn. We have Oskar<br />
Kirsten conducting a demo on<br />
how to core out your salad bowl<br />
blanks and get 3 or 4 bowls<br />
from one chunk instead of one<br />
bowl and all those shavings.<br />
Why waste a beautiful piece<br />
of wood when there are more<br />
bowls to make and sell. Oskar is<br />
one of our Mentors and I went<br />
over to his shop and learned how<br />
to use his Oneway Coring System<br />
and he has some great tips<br />
and techniques to get the best<br />
results. There are other systems<br />
out there and so far this was by<br />
far the easiest to use and learn.<br />
Of course being the tool-aholic<br />
(Continued on page 9)
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong> Page 9 <strong>March</strong> 2013<br />
(Programs- continued from page 8)<br />
that I am, I had to run out and<br />
buy one for myself. I think I<br />
will get lots of good use out if it<br />
and you can see if you need one<br />
too or if you just want to keep<br />
throwing all those extra bowls<br />
out with the shavings.<br />
September<br />
July<br />
July will be Graeme Priddle.<br />
Take a look at his web site<br />
(http://graemepriddle.com/) and<br />
see what you think. We will be<br />
having classes after the demo so<br />
start saving your pennies and be<br />
ready to be amazed. He comes<br />
all the way from New Zealand<br />
and makes some amazing things.<br />
He uses a lot of nature’s inspiration<br />
in his turnings and living<br />
near the ocean really shows in<br />
his work. He will conduct an<br />
all-day demo and most likely a 2<br />
day class so sign up early.<br />
August<br />
Jack Boggio will be conducting<br />
our August demo. He hails from<br />
Fallbrook and started out as a<br />
carver. He has since started turning<br />
and he adds some beautiful<br />
carving techniques to his turnings.<br />
He has a web site (http://<br />
www.timberstotreasures.com/index.<br />
html) that you can check out<br />
and see some of his work. He is<br />
going to show us some interesting<br />
Christmas Ornaments early<br />
enough we might actually get<br />
them done before Christmas.<br />
Well maybe not me but some of<br />
you should have them mastered<br />
by then. He will show us how he<br />
adds some simple (so he says)<br />
carvings to the center of his<br />
ornaments. I am looking forward<br />
to seeing how he accomplishes<br />
the holes to see inside the ornaments.<br />
And I don’t mean he<br />
makes a funnel like I make.<br />
September will be our Tools and<br />
Techniques demo. This is where<br />
you get to try out a new technique<br />
and learn from out Mentors.<br />
We will have stations set up<br />
both inside and outside (if it’s<br />
not raining) to allow you some<br />
hands-on training. You can try<br />
out a new tool or learn how to<br />
use a bottom of the bowl gouge.<br />
It’s all up to you. We have the<br />
stations set up and you take your<br />
pick.<br />
Our club has lots of opportunity<br />
to learn how to create something<br />
new or just increase your skills<br />
in you hobby of choice. Come<br />
on down to the meeting and see<br />
what you can do with the knowledge.

Michael Hosaluk Class<br />
by Karen Freitas<br />
There were only 4 lucky people<br />
who opted to take Michael<br />
Hosaluk’s three day class this<br />
month. I was afraid people<br />
who hadn’t heard of him would<br />
hesitate taking his class since he<br />
is more known for his unique<br />
artistic approach to woodturning<br />
since the class was before his<br />
demonstration. I was right and<br />
so the four of us got some extra<br />
attention and now I can tell you<br />
all about it.<br />
On Wednesday,<br />
we started the<br />
class at 9 am but<br />
of course I was<br />
preparing a few<br />
days earlier by<br />
cutting wood<br />
into prescribed<br />
lengths and<br />
widths. Ron<br />
Hoyt, Eric<br />
Freedus, Jeff<br />
Neff and I were<br />
taking the class<br />
and we had the<br />
ever popular<br />
Pete Campbell<br />
as our assistant.<br />
Pete made<br />
Mike’s and my<br />
day so much<br />
easier by cutting<br />
all the wood<br />
we needed to<br />
and it ended up being the size of<br />
a golf ball instead of a baseball<br />
but it was round (mostly). He<br />
moved on to a spinning top and<br />
then a spatula. I really liked the<br />
spatula and made several using<br />
the skew which was interesting.<br />
I now feel much more<br />
comfortable using a skew to cut<br />
something. That is the best part<br />
about classes is having the help<br />
to figure out what you’re doing<br />
wrong with a tool. I learned how<br />
I picked up Michael and his<br />
lovely wife Marilyn from the<br />
airport on Monday night and<br />
brought them to my house.<br />
Michael already had a full day<br />
demonstration planned for Tuesday<br />
at the Art Department of <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong> State University. While he<br />
spent the day turning and talking,<br />
Marilyn and I spent the day<br />
at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Zoo animal and<br />
people watching.<br />
be able to make<br />
so many great<br />
projects.<br />
Michael started<br />
with a turned<br />
ball and we all<br />
tried to make the<br />
same thing. He<br />
made the ball in<br />
like 5 minutes, I<br />
swear. It took me<br />
about an hour<br />
(Continued on page 11)
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong> Page 11 <strong>March</strong> 2013<br />
(Class - continued from page 10)<br />
to turn a ball, pound some dents<br />
or designs into the ball, sand it<br />
down and add water. Guess what<br />
happens All those dents you<br />
made come right back up and it<br />
will amaze your friends.<br />
Next, Michael decided to try<br />
making a bracelet that would<br />
bend. He had never made one<br />
before so it became a learning<br />
and teaching lesson. It didn’t<br />
take long for all of us to be making<br />
several bracelets and then we<br />
got to decorate them. We tried<br />
to figure out what size would<br />
fit most women and it didn’t<br />
take long to get a few different<br />
sizes for different sized women.<br />
I used my Master Carver with<br />
a couple different tips to make<br />
some designs and them I added<br />
some color. There are so many<br />
possibilities.<br />
The next day, we started on an<br />
end grain box long box. Where’s<br />
Allen Brooks when I need him<br />
We made a long box out of<br />
poplar that was cut at different<br />
angles and glued back together<br />
into a different form. It was<br />
the first time I had used a hook<br />
tool to hollow with and I really<br />
was impressed with the ease of<br />
use. I found out I was using it<br />
wrong when I tried a ring tool<br />
and scared myself half to death.<br />
Imagine that…<br />
using a tool<br />
wrong Michael<br />
made a form that<br />
I am now finishing<br />
and I will put<br />
it in the raffle<br />
or silent auction<br />
later this year.<br />
By the way I had<br />
Michael sign it<br />
and so now it’s a<br />
collaborative art<br />
piece!<br />
The last day, we<br />
spent most of it using all the different<br />
Milk Paints, Transparent<br />
dyes and lots of different carving<br />
burrs and wood burners. There<br />
are so many ways to change a<br />
plain piece of wood into something<br />
spectacular with some<br />
decorations.<br />
After the demo, Michael and<br />
Marilyn moved onto the Arizona<br />
Symposium and spent some time<br />
with family there. That was the<br />
main reason we couldn’t have<br />
the classes after the demo instead<br />
of before. They wanted to<br />
spend a few days with family before<br />
the next big demonstration.<br />
If there is enough good response<br />
we may be able to get him back<br />
out here since I believe he is doing<br />
a demo in Los Angeles next<br />
year. He won’t do a demo but we<br />
may get him for another class<br />
that hopefully would fill up.

Michael Hosaluk Demo<br />
By Karen Freitas<br />
Our demonstrator came all the<br />
way from Saskatoon, Canada<br />
just to show us all how many<br />
things he can make in a relatively<br />
short period of time. I don’t<br />
think I have ever seen someone<br />
make more items in one day<br />
than Michael did.<br />
I watched him make a ball that<br />
was the exact size of a regulation<br />
baseball, he made a spatula,<br />
a bracelet and oh yes a spinning<br />
top. I don’t know about you, but<br />
I’ve been asked at the Del Mar<br />
Fair if I know how to make a<br />
spin top with a string. I never<br />
knew how before but I think I<br />
may be able to do it now.<br />
I had no idea was different than<br />
California Pepper. I brought in<br />
a log and Michael decided to try<br />
it out for a thin bowl. I believe it<br />
was one of the prettiest pieces I<br />
have ever seen. I thought it was<br />
very interesting to watch someone<br />
cut a bowl to 1/16” thick<br />
and then say “Let’s make this<br />
thinner!” I know I would have<br />
had a funnel in no time but not<br />
Michael. He made that bowl and<br />
then let it warp which didn’t take<br />
too long. I brought that bowl<br />
home and finished sanding and<br />
oiling it and it now sits proudly<br />
in my art collection. I did notice<br />
it has moved some more and no<br />
longer sits flat but that’s the way<br />
of the wood.<br />
stick holder. I have not tried too<br />
much off center stuff but I have<br />
a better understanding of how to<br />
judge what the piece may look<br />
like when it’s done.<br />
I heard a lot of great comments<br />
and I think everyone enjoyed<br />
themselves. We have a very<br />
active club with a lot of great<br />
people in it. Please let Sally or<br />
I know what you would like<br />
to see. We are always looking<br />
for new ideas of what the club<br />
wants to see.<br />
He worked on a large scoop with<br />
a long handle out of a single<br />
piece of wood. I have seen that<br />
type of jam chuck used on a<br />
small handled scoop but never<br />
such a large one. He made a<br />
bracelet and a small octopus that<br />
he used the microwave and water<br />
to bend the legs outwards.<br />
One of our members had brought<br />
in some Brazilian Pepper which<br />
Michael was able to make a<br />
set of two door stops which I<br />
haven’t seen someone make<br />
in a really long time. The red<br />
Boxelder I gave him had a little<br />
crack that was big enough to<br />
break off during turning so now<br />
it has a flat side to its handle but<br />
it still works just fine. Michael<br />
also made an off center candle<br />

Wood Day at Nottingham<br />
By Mike McElhiney<br />
How much wood could a wood<br />
turner chuck when a wood turner<br />
would chuck wood A great<br />
deal is the answer to that one.<br />
Tom Edwards, Dan White, Mark<br />
Jacobsen, Roman Scheidel, Karen<br />
Freitas, Jeff Neff, and Allen<br />
Driver tore into our huge woodpile<br />
at Nottingham while club<br />
members observed, learned and<br />
then turned. Tom began the day<br />
by cutting up a round on a cleverly<br />
designed platform. He took<br />
the piece to a bandsaw, handed<br />
it to Roman who cut it round in<br />
a trice, showing me yet another<br />
method of making a bowl blank.<br />
If you don’t have a wonderful<br />
set of those round cutouts made<br />
by Karen Freitas, try this: find a<br />
piece of cardboard, draw a circle<br />
of about the size you need, tack<br />
it to your bland and voila! You<br />
are ready to turn.<br />
Tom went through the process<br />
of chucking up a piece and then<br />
turned a quick bowl, showing<br />
bowl gouge techniques, tenon<br />
tactics and fielding questions<br />
from the group. After the demo,<br />
Tom went back to the wood he’d<br />
selected for the day, cut blanks<br />
and handed them to attendees.<br />
They carried their pieces to<br />
Roman who manned the bandsaw,<br />
gave advice and sliced and<br />
diced the blanks. Inside, Allen<br />
Driver, Karen Freitas and Jeff<br />
Neff helped people get started<br />
with their bowls. There were at<br />
least six, maybe seven people<br />
turning at any one time. Many<br />
of the attendees took advantage<br />
of the astounding offer of FREE<br />
WOOD.<br />
Yours truly brought a piece of<br />
fresh and very wet sycamore<br />
to the party, sliced it in twain<br />
with my trusty chain saw, took it<br />
inside and turned a quick bowl.<br />
At least I started. The wood was<br />
so wet that I stopped, found a<br />
towel, dried my face shield and<br />
started again. Then I blew a<br />
fuse! I know where the fuse box<br />
is now and got that going again.<br />
But the floor was so wet from<br />
the sycamore that I had to move<br />
the lathe and get a mop. Eventually<br />
I finished, took it home,<br />
micro waved it and it sits waiting<br />
for sanding on my bench.<br />
That is how turning goes for me;<br />
always interesting, sometimes<br />
wet.<br />
But back to the woodpile...<br />
Quite a few people were taking<br />
advantage of the FREE WOOD<br />
offer by Dan. After finishing<br />
my bowl, I walked back to the<br />
club wood storage facility and<br />
helped to organize the unbelievably<br />
cheap and varied selection<br />
of wood. Star Pine or Norfolk<br />
Island pine or carob or olive,<br />
or oak or pepper and more –<br />
they are all there. It is a shame<br />
to not take advantage of this<br />
incredible wood supply. Go to<br />
Frost. Check the price. Come<br />
to Nottingham. Check the price.<br />
No comparison. And it is a<br />
shame to let that wood become<br />
firewood; a year in the sun and<br />
sealer on the end or not, the<br />
wood dries and cracks.<br />
Much of the wood there does<br />
have cracks in it – but it is still<br />
eminently useable. Tom Edwards<br />
taught a class on using<br />
epoxy resin to fill cracks and<br />
stabilize a turning piece. It is<br />
worth taking or if you have done<br />
so, use your know-how to make<br />
this wood into something gorgeous.<br />
We have avocado to die<br />
for. I took some home with me.<br />

Next time you come to a meeting<br />
at Nottingham, go home<br />
with a piece or pieces of wood.<br />
Too big Someone will cut it<br />
up for you. Too expensive...<br />
Never!

allows you to not only register<br />
a fixed pivot location,<br />
but still easily slide in and<br />
out. The Kirsten Tool Post<br />
is very simple; providing an<br />
inexpensive tool support with<br />
a known pivot as a reference.<br />
Now you can concentrate on<br />
what you think is happening<br />
inside the EV and knowing<br />
exactly where you are.<br />
The Kirsten Tool Post is<br />
composed of a rigidly welded<br />
“L” bar inserted into the lathe<br />
banjo and leveled just under<br />
the centerline of the Enclosed<br />

HOLLOW-PRO “ROCKET” Tools<br />
blast the wood out of small hollow vessels!<br />
Designed by professional woodturner Mike Jackofsky and manufactured in the USA by the Hunter Tool<br />
Company, these tools feature a unique negative angle built into the tip. They have been specifically designed<br />
to use the Hunter carbide cutters; the negative angle makes the carbide less aggressive and easier to control.<br />
HOLLOW-PRO ROCKET tools are professional, fast and efficient hollowing tools for making hollow vessels<br />
up to about 7" high x about 7" diameter. These 8" tools have 3/8" shafts to allow hollowing through very<br />
small, restricted openings. The tools use replaceable #1 size carbide cutters and are designed to fit into any<br />
large handle with a 3/8" or ½" opening. (Tip: place the screws from these handles on the side or top of the<br />
tools, so the bottom will slide smoothly on the tool rest)<br />
The round shafts of these tools can be rotated slightly to make clean “shear” cuts and the bent tool is also very<br />
useful for undercutting the openings on larger hollow vessels.<br />
Set of one straight and one bent tool includes replaceable Hunter #1 carbide cutters for clean cuts and durability,<br />
and a Torx wrench for rotating and replacing the cutters as needed.<br />
Notes On Use of Hollow-Pro Tools<br />
STRAIGHT TOOL:<br />
The Hollow-Pro Tools 3/8" ROCKET straight tool is a very versatile and efficient tool that can be used to<br />
remove wood quickly and easily from hollow vessels and open bowls. It also works very well for hollowing<br />
out boxes.<br />
BENT TOOL:<br />
The Hollow-Pro Tools 3/8" ROCKET bent tool was designed to hollow vessels up to about 7" in diameter,<br />
but is also intended to be used on larger pieces as well. By using the smaller tool to undercut the first portion<br />
of larger vessels the tool rest is closer, resulting in a cleaner cut and greater control. The larger Hollow-Pro<br />
Tools bent tools can then be used to continue hollowing pieces up to about 14-15" diameter.<br />
IMPORTANT: The tool rest height should be adjusted so that when the tool is held straight (parallel to the bed<br />
of the lathe) the tip is cutting at the center line of the turning. For less aggressive cuts, raise the handle slightly.<br />
Avoid lowering the handle, as that will raise the cutter tip and could result in a very aggressive angle of cut.<br />
Mike recommends holding the handle against your body and practicing with the tools on an open bowl before<br />
using them on a hollow vessel.<br />
TIP: To avoid stripping out the Torx screws, make sure you clean them out before tightening or loosening<br />
them, so the wrench can seat properly. An airgun and/or a sharp pointed object like a dental pick or a<br />
safety pin, works well.<br />
For more info e-mail Mike at: info@mikejackofsky.com or Visit Mike’s Web site: www.mikejackofsky.com<br />
Please wear safety glasses and follow all safety rules of woodturning.<br />
These tools are aggressive hollowing tools and should be used by or under the supervision of experienced turners.<br />

HOLLOW-PRO Calipers<br />
A. B. C.<br />
These Hollow-Pro Calipers provide accurate measurements in crucial areas of hollow<br />
vessels and open bowls.<br />
A. Top wall—inside opening<br />
B. Lower side wall<br />
C. Bottom thickness—This is the important measurement to enable you to re-chuck the<br />
bottom and KNOW how much wood you have to work with. This works equally well on<br />
open bowls!<br />
Hollow-Pro Calipers are precision made from steel and aluminum for maximum<br />
strength while maintaining a comfortable light weight. The Small size<br />
will work for hollow forms up to about 8" in diameter and up to 6 1/4" deep.<br />
The Larger size works for hollow forms up to about 18" in diameter and up to<br />
11 3/4" deep.<br />

Empty Bowls<br />
Each year potters, glass blowers and woodturners donate bowls to be part of a wonderful fundraiser to feed the<br />
hungry. We are all fortunate to have enough to eat every day and we sometimes forget that there are people in<br />
our own city who go hungry.<br />
TACO (Third Avenue Charitable Organization) is a local organization running the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> version of the<br />
national Empty Bowl initiative. At the event (in the spring) supporters pay $20 for a bowl of their choice and<br />
some soup. The soup is donated by a number of really great restaurants. (The bowls don’t have to be used to<br />
eat the soup).<br />
In 2012, 600 people attended and many bought more than one bowl. The event raised over $15,000 to help<br />
feed those in need.<br />
I would like to collect bowls all year so that we have a nice selection to donate. Please bring your donations<br />
to any meeting and I will keep them safe until it is time to pass them on for the event.<br />
Thanks for your generosity.<br />

As members of the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
Wood Turners you might come across an opportunity for us to add to our wood inventory. The following<br />
are among the types of wood we have an interest: olive, black acacia, fruit wood, ash, Norfolk Island Pine,<br />
maple, walnut, liquid amber, alder, carob, eucalyptus, oak, avocado, and wood burl.<br />
You might wonder about our guidelines for acquiring wood.<br />
“Access” to the wood is important<br />
“Chipping and/or hauling away material” are left to the owner of the property<br />
“Wood” needs to be fallen and of manageable dimensions for transport<br />
“Property lines and power lines” are respected<br />
“Safety” is paramount and every effort is made to keep our volunteers safe<br />
“Building relationships” and having a good time with other turners is important<br />
If you hear of anyone needing<br />
to move wood off their property<br />
please give me a call.<br />
