CHRIS STOTT

DEMONSTRATION DAY


Chris Stott is a well known international woodturner who has demonstrated around the world. In 2005 he demonstrated at Ohio Valley Woodturners Symposium, a prestigious event. In 2010 he demonstrated at Turnfest in Sea World Resort and will demonstrate this year at Turnfest.
His demonstrations are well prepared and presented, full of helpful ideas and practical methods including jam chucks. He quickly turns out a finished box of saleable size and quality. His strategy for turning many boxes from a single long cylinder is quick and efficient.
He is a Yorkshire man who has spent time making a living in Spain turning boxes from olive trees for sale to tourists - the ultimate test.
His book “Turn Boxes 50 Designs” is an excellent publication for design and construction details. It is in the W.O.T.H. library and very much in demand. One “learner turner” has made many of these delightful boxes. He has done much work on woodturning design as shown in his book and articles.
The demonstration by Chris Stott is an event not to be missed for “the average Joe” and better turners.
Date:    Saturday 31st March 2012. Time: Arrive 8.30a.m.

Where: WOTH clubhouse Newcastle showground.

Cost: $35 to WOTH members.

Safety and Competence Training

Members are reminded that Tablesaw and Drum Sander competence is best learned "on the Job" in a

boxmaking course. Not only will you learn to use these tools correctly and safely, but you can make

a great item for the Club to sell at the markets.

Ron, Ian and Greg will be pleased to give you the benefit of their vast experience.
