Our club, the Midsouth Woodturners Guild, has started a "hands on class" where attendees can actually participate and get to try/learn new things. We are doing one class every three months right now. The first one was on sharpening which I missed. The one yesterday was on hollow forms and I was the instructor. The class only lasts 2 hours so I wasn't sure what I was going to do other than use my jamieson system so I decided I better rough out the outside before I went and then we could do the inside. I was really suprised when there were 22 members that showed up. There were 5 or 6 that actually tried the system. Most of them were new turners and had never hollowed. It was a lot of fun to see them do it and realize that it's not that difficult. Anyway this is the piece from yesterday, I finished it up today. 6-1/2" diameter x 10-1/4" tall with holly finial and inset. It will be donated back to the club for our annual Christmas auction.
