Each workshop attendee will have the opportunity to complete the
following stages of making a beads of courage pot using segmented
construction and turning techniques. A discussion about how to size
and cut segments will also be part of the workshop.
Gluing and marking the segmented rings. All of the segments are cut, but
need to be glued for additional projects for BOC. Everyone should strive
to glue at least one ring.
Turning the outside round and making the disk
surface flat. The tenon will work with most #2 square
jaw chucks.
Gluing a ring onto the flattened base from the previous step. This ring will
be made before the workshop and already be ready to be glued onto the
bottom disk. (It is not the product from the previous step)
Turning the bottom ring round and to dimension. Again, I will make this
assembly before the workshop. (It is not the product from the previous
step)
The final glue-up, top, and knob will be turned to dimension so that
attendees will have a finished project other than final sanding and
finishing.
