I apologize to everyone on dial-up connections. I received so many great photographs that I just didn’t have the heart to not post them all. Sixty two pictures to follow!

September 16, 2006 found the club treated to an incredible day long demo by Bob and Susan Rosand.
But first, President Peter McCrea makes a few announcements about some new stuff for the club.
|
|
And while he was doing that, Bob and Susan made plans to subdivide Erskine’s shop; as they’d already decided they kinda like it up here
|
|
|
The doughnuts were fresh and the coffee was hot; so the early morning cobwebs would soon be gone.
|
|
|
The club’s most recent acquisition is a new TV monitor. Finally the TV image is bigger than the real life image.
Speaking for the folks in the back row
“Thanks!”
|
|
|
Bob’s a lefty, and every once in a while he’d come around to the back side of the lathe to allow him to make a particular cut a bit more safely. I think he just wanted to show off his new Maine tee shirt
|
|
|
Here’s one of Bob’s newer pieces. it’s about six inches in diameter.
|
|
|
A close up.
And a bowl that really tells a story!
|
|
|
Here we see Bob getting started on one of his acorn ornaments.
|
|
|
Shaping the top
|
|
|
Pointing to the part of his gouge that he’ll be using...
|
|
|
... to shape this.

By the way, welcome to the club Genie!
|
|
|
Forming the icicle for the ornament
|
|
|
He turns, sands, and finishes each portion of the icicle before moving up to do the next
|
|
|
Wiping on his sanding sealer and turpentine mixture
|
|
|
Ready for the next portions
|
|
|
And here they are
|
|
|
A bit of sanding to clean it up
|
|
|
Checking the globe so the tenon can be accurately sized
|
|
|
Getting set to
part it off
|
|
|
I guess this is what makes it one of his “signature pieces”
|
|
|
Damon Harmon was among the first to pay his dues for the coming year. His prize was a new membership card
|
|
|
Dave Russell is considering waiting
‘til later.
|
|
|
John “C” Ramsay is hoping Burt Truman will pay his dues for him
|
|
|
Bob’s now turning another acorn ornament, beginning with the top
|
|
|
The top is now reversed in a jamb chuck
|
|
|
Here’s the finial for it
|
|
|
Setting the perch
|
|
|
All done
|
|
|
Ed Knapp contemplates the whole
dues paying process
|
|
|
Eugene Beaupre also considered it briefly, but he chose to put his money into the coffee fund and a new Rosand Hook Tool instead
|
|
|
Here’s a “multiaxis” Ring Holder that Bob turned especially for Mac Ray
|
|
|
Meanwhile, Susan Rosand was quietly painting ornaments
|
|
|
Quite the touch!
|
|
|
Well done!
|
|
|
Some of Bob and Susan’s work on display
|
|
|
Susan to Peter McCrea:
“I can't believe that Hoyt guy just stuck his finger in my wet paint!”
|
|
|
Phil Brown looks happy. I wonder if Burt excused him from having to pay his dues this year?
|
|
|
A top from some diamond wood scrap
|
|
|
Not only does it work - but it’s cordless, too!
|
|
|
Bob starts shaping a bell.
|
|
|
I love to see those shavings fly
|
|
|
Yup - it really is a bell
|
|
|
Making a friction chuck to reverse the bell
|
|
|
It works!
|
|
|

For his last project of the day, Bob turned an oil lamp
|
|
|
It went very quickly
|
|
|
Almost too quickly
|
|
|
A light touch
|
|
|
An even lighter touch
|
|
|
Very nice
|
|
|
Applying some more of his sanding sealer and turpentine concoction
|
|
|
One last tweak.
|
|
|
Bob’s website is something not to be overlooked. It’s a wealth of knowledge and inspiration
