Michael Mocho Classes<br />
14 members of the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Woodturners</strong> had the privilege of working<br />
one on one with Michael Mocho at 2 two day workshops. Everyone<br />
was challenged to learn to use the skew correctly and lots of<br />
progress was made with the tool that many are really afraid of. We<br />
discovered that the finish off the skew really needs no sanding and<br />
when done right is not at all scary.<br />
Michael also showed everyone how any tool can be a chatter tool…on<br />
purpose! We learned to make great textures with most of the tools in<br />
our bags. We found out how to create accurately fitted pieces to fit together…like<br />
adding a textured inset into a box lid or a making a tenon<br />
on a finial that perfectly fits into a lid.<br />
Micheal demystified the Sorby texturing and spiraling tool so watch<br />
for pieces with wonderful details in the instant gallery in the future.<br />
We were all extremely impressed by what a great (and patient) instructor<br />
Michael is. All of us made some great strides in tool skills during<br />
the workshop.
