Demo by Ted Pelfrey

[John K Jordan]

@Ted Pelfrey did an outstanding demonstration yesterday at the Knoxville woodturning club (SMWTS). Energetic and informative. Lots of great tips on design, the tools, and clear instruction and demonstration of the practical aspects of turning hollow forms. I predict some attendees who have not yet turned a hollow form will give it a try.
We also liked his table of examples - half the table were things he made and liked and half of things he made didn't like as much, explaining why (things like proportions). Thanks, Ted!

Awesome! I have yet to see one of Ted’s demos, but I’ve heard good things.

Jake and I agree - if you were nervous you hid it well. Your sense of humor made it even more fun. I didn't see anyone sleeping!
Sorry, I didn't take any photos of tool on wood, but there should be some in the newsletter.
Your handout is excellent.

I think your carving/embellishing demo would be good for Knoxville - if your arm can be twisted.

How far will Ted travel ??

I can't speak for Ted but it might depend on the extent of the bribe. Would be worth every penny - I've seen two of his demos so far. I think Ted is just a few steps away from the national circuit - far more interesting than some of the well known symposium demonstrators I've experienced.
