Chuck Hargenrader demo’d peppermills for us this month. These are quick to make and fun too; as the form is completely up to the turner’s whim.

Here’s a pdf of
Chuck’s handout

Turns better if you fire up the motor, Chuck.

After parting off the top portion, he remounted it on a pen turner’s mandrel and formed a tenon to match the lower section.

Giving the top some
more attention.

The top and bottom portion get reacquainted.

Time for the spindle roughing gouge.

He seems happy thus far.

It’s round!

Club - meet Bill.

Bill - meet the club.

Attention to form.

John Ramsay enlightened us about spalted wood.

More form!

And still more!

The Landry’s take in the Show & Tell table.

Just about done.

Seems happy that the demo is over

The club learns about
Attic Wood.
