<strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>axis</strong> <strong>Woodturning</strong>IWT May 2012 Demo by Ron Sahli
Agenda• What is multi-<strong>axis</strong> woodturning?• What you can create• What will be demonstrated today• “Demonstration”– Safety– Layout method– Mounting wood on the lathe– Chisels• What is your challenge?• QuestionsMay 2012 2
What is <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>axis</strong> <strong>Woodturning</strong>• Barbara Dill explains it this way,– “<strong>Multi</strong> <strong>axis</strong> turning is created by turning shapes on anew <strong>axis</strong> in addition to the center <strong>axis</strong>. These ideasallow one to turn asymmetrical spindles on the latheand between centers. Spindles turned on the lathetraditionally produce symmetrical and round objects”• Everything I will show you today, I learned fromBarbara Dill’s video, a book, looking at internetvideos (no not those kind of videos, woodturningvideos)May 2012 3
What is <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>axis</strong> <strong>Woodturning</strong>Cont.• <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>axis</strong> turning can be done between centers,with the use of traditional scroll chucks, orspecialty eccentric chucks• Between center multi-<strong>axis</strong> turning only requires– A four prong drive center and live center– Sharp tools – bowl or spindle gouges, skew– Good turning skills– A healthy adherence to lathe safety– Nerves of SteelMay 2012 4

What Will be Demonstrated Today• Twisted Axis – Arc(air wood)– Used to create aspiral• Parallel Axis – Circular(solid wood)– Used to create offsetcylinders stacked on topof each otherMay 2012 12
“Demonstration”• Safety– Face shield, finger placement• Layout method– Turn round, then mark and pre-mount on lathe• Mounting wood on the lathe– Between centers using small sharp 4-prong drive• Chisels– Bowl and spindle gouge, skew, what you feel<strong>com</strong>fortable withMay 2012 13
What is your challenge?• Level 1 challenge– Document and turn a multi-<strong>axis</strong> sample spindle– Leave ends with <strong>axis</strong> marks– Clearly number each <strong>axis</strong> that you turned on• Level 2 challenge– Do the level 1 challenge– Completed another turning using your sample aboveand finish into a goblet, candle stick holder, etc.May 2012 14
