FUTURE PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES Feb 6 BASKET ILLUSION INTRODUCTION Mar 6 GOBLETS & INLAYS Apr 3 MULTI-AXIS WOODTURNING May 1 TBD June 5 TBD

Tom Durgin has been showing off his basket illusion pieces for a long time. Additionally, New Mexico Woodturners has recently started a YouTube channel. Tom has produced a series of videos about his work. Let us combine all these efforts and produce February's demonstration. We will learn how Tom does his basket illusions as well as using the NMWT's YouTube channel. Kathy Knorr will be joining to help guide us along with everything we need to know about the YouTube channel. Tom will be narrating and answering questions about his videos. By the end we should all be movie stars and be able to share in growing the club's new channel. You will also be able to go watch

what everyone else is doing.

Beads of Courage ? NMWT's 2021 Challenge

Beads of Courage is the NMWT's Community Service Project. Beads of Courage, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization working in partnership with the American Association of Woodturners (AAW).

Our Beads of Courage Bowls are taken directly to UNMH Children's Cancer Facility here in Albuquerque for local patients. However, bowls can also be sent to a National collection point in Tucson, Arizona.

UNMH Children's Cancer Facility has been treating nearly one

hundred seriously ill cancer youngsters each year. For each

medical treatment a child receives, he or she gets a bead which

they can then keep in their bowl, hence Beads of Courage Bowls.

The children do receive a bag to put their beads in but a Beads of

Courage Bowl is far more special and reflective of the hard work

to beat cancer!

Elias is featured on with his prized wood turned box

The Challenge: Each club member to take the time and heart to make at least one Beads of Courage Bowl during 2021.

NMWT currently makes ~8 bowls a year & it would be great if we could increase that number exponentially.

Contact Scott Eckstein (505)270-0516, our NMWT Beads of Courage Chair, for more information, to purchase beads and to deliver your prized box/bowl.

Every "BoC" box submitted to the Instant Gallery will receive a half page photo below, or the Instant Gallery, to highlight challenge participants, their skills and their talents!

Visit here to review the Beads of Courage Bead Bowl/Box Guidelines!!!

January's Demo: Hand Thread Chasing with Kirk DeHeer

We kicked off the new year with Kirk DeHeer, professional woodturning instructor at Craft Supplies USA, teaching us the art of hand chasing threads on an acorn-style lidded box. We will not even pretend to share a fraction of the tips, tricks and subtleties of thread chasing by hand in this monthly newsletter. What will be included are a few images to strike your memory of Kirk's stellar demonstration. Editor's caveat: if you want to really understand the talent that is hand chasing threads take a class with Kirk. If that seems too far away for reason, contact a mentor in the club that is able to share the skill. The process is challenging but extremely rewarding and real-time feedback is exceedingly helpful.

Pictured at right are a freshly shaped pair of chasers treated by Kirk after a CSUSA signature turning class. Recall that he creates a dovetail shape on the left hand side of the mail chaser. This is to allow "escape" from the threads where the relief cut is made near the shoulder. Kirk has also created a rounded head on the female chaser and rounded over that edge to avoid catches inside the piece being turned. Note that both the chasers are treated as negative rake scrapers and contain a relief above the teeth. These chasers can be purchased here.
