Page 10 Woodworker West January-February, 2016 “Flat-pad sanders produce a flatter surface than RO sanders, but both require final hand sanding with the grain for optimum appearance. I always sand by hand between coats whether for flattening or for improved adhesion. Also, the first coat of any finish will cause little shards of wood to raise, whether the surface was sanded, planed, or scraped. When the first coat of finish dries, these hardened shards are what causes the surface to feel rough. Sanding with 320 paper will remove these hard- ened shards and subsequent coats will go on smoother. So, smoothness counts after the first coat of finish, but not much Jan. 18-22 before that.” Fundamentals of Fine Woodowrking “ is factory sanded to 180-grit, so it’s best to not sand plywood with lower than 180-grit, preferably by hand.

January-February, 2016 Woodworker West Page 33 From David Marks Studio Answering Reader’s Questions by David Marks

1. Tight Miters: Is there a “magic” formula to cutting tight miter joints? I struggle with this cut every time and normally end up by making several cuts, moving closer to the edges only to end up with a poor result. Jim David’s Answer: I use a stop block (piece of wood approxi- 1 mately 1 /2" square) clamped to the backstop or of either the miter gauge or fence of a chop saw (). The main thing is that the lengths must be equal. In other words if you are cutting miters for a rectangle, the 2 long sides must be exactly the same length and the 2 short sides must be exactly the same length, in order for the 45° miters to line up. The same rule applies to a square frame, except being a square; all 4 sides need to be exactly the same length. I think one of the best ways to cut accurate mitered corners is on 1 a sliding miter sled on the tablesaw. The sled is generally /2" plywood (good quality, I would use Apple ply or Baltic Birch ply) with a plywood fence attached to the top of it. The fence needs to form a precise 90° corner. If it is attached to the sled and your position is off just a little, it still works. As long as you mark the pieces of wood and cut side A on the left side David Marks has been a studio furniture maker of the fence and side B in Santa Rosa, CA for nearly 40 years and was on the right side of the Miter Sled the host of the popular woodworking television fence, they will still form a perfect 90° corner, even if one miter is program WoodWorks on the DIY network.

January-February, 2016 Woodworker West Page 35 Tools & Techniques SketchUp: A Better Approach to Design, Plan & Problem Solve by Robert Lang I’ve been making stuff from wood for more than 40 years, and de- signing and drawing projects for almost that long. Along the way, I realized that thorough planning makes for more enjoyable and more productive time in the shop. If I know how a project will go together before I start cutting wood, I can concentrate on doing my best work in the shop. I’m not sidetracked by math problems or design decisions. I was trained in manual drafting and have also used AutoCAD ex- tensively. When I became adept at modeling in SketchUp, I became a better woodworker, as have most people I know who have learned how to use this program. I make more accurate plans in less time, and that gives me more time in the shop. My shop time is more enjoyable, because I’m not interrupting the building process to solve a design problem, or fix something I missed while planning. Design is a 2-step process. The first step is close to art, it is all about deciding what to build: the size, shape, and overall configuration Woodworker's Guide to SketchUp explains how need to be determined from innumerable possibilities and con- to use 3-D modeling to efficiently design, plan, straints.

Page 36 Woodworker West January-February, 2016 it will be made. Making a 3-D model in SketchUp duplicates the process of building. One reason that I favor SketchUp over other methods is that when I get to the shop, I've already built the project on my computer and worked through the problems of sequence and assembly. KEYS TO SUCCESS As valuable as this software is, learning it involves working through several paradoxes. The easiest way to learn is by working on actual projects, but you won’t be able to make any headway on even the simplest projects without knowing the basics of how and why the program functions. There are also two sets of skills to develop: navigation in 3-dimen- sional space as it appears on your computer screen and the creation (and modification of) objects that represent pieces of wood. If you can’t navigate, you FIGURE 2. When a model is in three dimensions, you can orbit around the can't model, but you can learn to get around in empty model to see it from any angle, while you work. space (Figure 2).

It takes a while for your hand and eye coordina- tion to adapt to the imaginary world of SketchUp on your computer monitor. It is a very visual program, and if you can’t clearly see what is hap- pening, neither you nor the software will know what to do next. If you're brand new to SketchUp, I suggest you spend some time taking a close look at an exist- ing model before you attempt to create one. To make a good model, you need to zoom in and out, as well as orbit around the model (Figure 3). With practice, navigation becomes second nature, but you will struggle with it at the beginning. The most often used navigation commands are available by using the scroll wheel on a three- button mouse (Figure 4). You can also find these commands on the toolbar or through a menu, but when you use the mouse, you can zoom or orbit, while in the middle of doing something else. FIGURE 3. Navigation in the model is an essential skill. As you work, you zoom in on details to work precisely.

If you stick with it, it will become second nature, as you move around your model. The other buttons on the mouse are also critical, and you need to learn to pay attention to what your fingers are doing and what happens on screen when you click once, twice, or three times, or when you click with the left or right button. SketchUp relies heavily on differ- ent types of clicks in different situations. This also takes some getting used to, but eventually the light bulb clicks on and modeling ceases to be a struggle.

FIGURE 4. It is important to master use of the mouse. The number of clicks on different buttons create different actions.

January-February, 2016 Woodworker West Page 37 THE NATURE OF THINGS Objects created in SketchUp have two profoundly different states. When first created, every line and the faces within lines are both sticky and stretchy. This makes it possible to stretch parts and change shapes, but the down side is that when two pieces are connected, moving one changes the other. It’s as if everything is made of Silly Putty and coated with Crazy Glue. Those sticky and stretchy lines can be combined into distinct entities, called components. I make very part of the model that will be a distinct piece of wood in real life into a compo- nent (Figure 5). This changes modeling into something very close to working in the shop with pieces of wood. Anything you can do to a block of wood has an equivalent action in SketchUp, except perhaps lighting it on fire. Components are automatically saved within the active file, and they can be saved to collections on your computer or online. When components have the same name, they are clones of each FIGURE 5. Any part that is a distinct piece of wood in real life other; if you change one, you change them all. should be saved as a component in SketchUp.

If you’re modeling a table (for example) with tapered legs and mortises, you only need to add the details to one leg, and those details appear in the other three (Figure 6). When you know how to use components (and how to copy and edit them) you rarely need to make anything from scratch, and accurate, detailed models, don’t take long at all. When the table model is finished, we can alter it to a different size. By selec- tively picking which objects to move and which ones to stretch, we can change a coffee table to a lunch table in a couple minutes. This doesn’t require any great talent; this is the power of 3-D modeling. FIGURE 6. Changes made to one instance of a component will occur in all other components with the same name.

In SketchUp, there really is a board stretcher; you can change the size of complex parts without disturbing details that are time-consum- ing to create. You can save a dovetailed drawer box or a cope-and-stick door frame, and use the parts in another model. You can test joinery details, without cutting expensive materials, and you have all the information about every part and piece of a project available when you need it (Figure 7). FIGURE 7. Copies of components can be added to the model, or stored in libraries for use in other models. When you model in SketchUp, you copy and alter parts more often than you draw them.

Page 38 Woodworker West January-February, 2016 INFORMATION GOLD MINE The goal of using SketchUp is to get to the shop with good information in less time than you would spend drawing by hand or drafting in a 2-dimen- sional CAD program. Back in the days of paper and pencil drawing, the finished drawing played an important role from the start of the process. The scale of the finished drawing and the arrangement of views on the page were decisions that needed to be made early. You had to worry about the second phase of the design process, without having all of the information from the first FIGURE 8. SketchUp makes it a simple matter to quickly make detail phase. A bad decision early on could mean starting over views with dimensions, a useful 3-D cutlist. or wasting a lot of time. The beauty of 3-D modeling in SketchUp is that you can measure them, or export a spreadsheet with each part and concentrate all your efforts on solving the design problem its dimensions listed. When you make each piece of your of what to build, without any concerns about how you model a component, you can generate a detailed print of will present the solution. After you know what you want every piece, showing the dimensions for the part’s size, to build, you gather the information you need from the shape, and joints that connect to other parts. You can print completed model, then decide what to present, and how traditional front, side, and plan views, as well as sections you want to present it. If you are careful in making the of the entire piece. You can make a dimensioned exploded model, everything you need to know to build your project view in a matter of minutes. I often print 3-D views of will be there, waiting for you to extract the information. subassemblies and parts for use in the shop (Figure 8). Instead of calculating the sizes of parts, you can simply If you need a realistic rendering to show how the finished piece will look in a room or with other furniture, Sketch- Up enables you to experiment with different materials and colors and place your 3-dimensional model of a piece of furniture within a 3-dimensional model of a room (Fig- ure 9). You can even create an animation that will provide a virtual tour of the piece within a room in your house. If all you need is an overall view with a few critical di- mensions, you can make a quick print to take to the shop. If you’re in the middle of building, and need to confirm a detail, you can quickly retrieve that information. All of this and more is possible, and the process is surprisingly fast and relatively painless. TRY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT Like any other tool, SketchUp requires an investment in time to learn how to use it. It is the best tool that I’ve come across for design, engineering, problem-solving, and communicating woodworking projects. And what every woodworker likes, SketchUp is free at www. sketchup.com. If you need assistance, let my Woodworker's Guide to SketchUp help you learn to use it.

Now, it is time to mount it onto the lathe.

MOUNTING ALTERNATIVES There are many methods available to accomplish this: 3- and 4-jaw chucks, screw chucks, expansion chucks, and face plates are among the most commonly used devices. 3- and 4-Jaw Self Centering-Chucks can be used, but there are a couple of “gotchas” when using them. The first is that there has to be a tenon turned for the jaws to grab onto. The size of this tenon is in proportion to the size of the bowl that you want to turn. A large bowl about 12" in diameter should Figure 1. Bowl blank mounted on the lathe, have a tenon 3" in diameter and at least 1" long. This requires supported by the tail stock. turning the blank between centers first.

One requirement of this chuck is that the blank articles are adapted from his writings in 2000. must have a flat surface so that the blank can snug up against the flanges of the chuck. Remember that green wood is much weaker than dried wood, and the blank can pull out of the threads if aggressively turned. The use of cyanoacrylate glue in the screw hole greatly enhances the screw chuck’s ability to maintain its grip. The best and safest attachment device, at least in my opinion, is the Face Plate (Figure 2). The plate should be made of steel Figure 2. 1 and be at least /4" thick at the flange. There should be at least Face plate 6 screw holes large enough to accommodate #10 screws. For attachment.

It is imperative depth, turning techniques. What we will discuss are that any checks be turned completely out.

THE HOLLOWING PROCESS Once the outside has been shaped, remove the tailstock and begin the 1 hollowing out process. Turn the bowl to a wall thickness of /4". To accomplish this, start at the center of the bowl and cut down about 1 1 1"-1 /2" deep (right). Move the gouge over about a /2" towards the outside rim. Keep moving toward the rim making the same depth of 1 cut, until you get the rim size to /4".

Now go back to the center and make another cut an addition- 1 al 1"-1 /2" deep. This stepping down process leaves strength and rigidity at the bowl’s side and allows you to cut a thin wall.

Repeat until you get to the bottom, leaving the bowl 1 3 thickness /4"- /8" above the tips of the screws holding the faceplate. Do not hollow out the bowl and then try to cut the walls thin, there is not enough rigidity to the wall to allow cutting.

Once you have established the wall’s thickness, do not go back to the rim and try to make another cut. It will end in disaster, because there is no longer enough wood to support cutting. This is especially true for end grain bowls and vase forms. On some woods, it 1 is possible to leave as much as /2". It can be a skosh, more or less. Speed is of the essence here (yours—not lathe’s speed), because once the hollowing out begins, the bowl will start changing shape. There will be no time for a coffee break at this stage. This requires some skill, but with practice, it is easy to turn out a bowl with a 12" diameter in as little as 30 minutes.

FINISHING THE BOWL With the inside complete, the face plate can be re- moved, and the bowl is reversed—mounted using a jam chuck, and supported by the tail stock—to turn the foot of the bowl. A hardwood block with a rubber foot attached makes an effective jam chuck.

Turn the foot until the screw holes disappear. At that point, the bottom of the bowl and the sides of the foot should be the same thickness as the wall. This uniform thickness will allow the bowl to relieve the stresses as is dries, preventing cracks.

The remaining tenon can be removed with a chisel. Do not to sand the bottom where you have just turned out the screw holes at this time! Power sanding (is there any other kind?) generates a lot of heat in a small place, and this alone is enough to cause cracking. Wait until the bowl is dry to complete this task.

January-February, 2016 Woodworker West Page 43 Education: Woodworking Ideas Northwest Woodworking Ideas Northwest (WIN) is a new non-profit, formed to help mentor high school woodworking students in Oregon. Through the study and practice of furnituremaking, they learn how to use their hands and their minds in design- ing and building their own work. It began as a pilot program when Mark Azevedo of the Sawing for Schools program in Albany, OR approached Gary Rogowski of the Northwest Woodworking Studio in Portland to help some promising local woodworking students, who were not necessarily college-bound. Gary agreed, and the City of Albany Parks & Rec- reation stepped forward to fund a 10-month trial. Directed by Gary Rogowski of the Northwest Woodworking Studio, Wood- Once a month, 4 students were transported from working Ideas Northwest is a program teaching high school students not 1 Albany to Gary’s studio in Portland (a 1 /2 hour only woodworking skills, from hand tools to power tools. . . trip) for a 6-hour session, learning about geom- etry, furniture design, joinery, construction, and finishing. For the rest of the month, they could practice what they learned in their own high school shop. During the 10-months, several great pieces were completed, culminating in benches, which were donated back to the City of Albany. “It was great to see how excited these kids were to learn,” explained Gary. “They listened to me talk about geometry and physics, and they asked questions. They listened to me talk about joinery and cutting angles. They were all interested in learning. And that’s what education should be about: curiosity and the excitement of discovery. Add on that you get to put your hands on tools, and it’s a slam dunk for just about every demo- graphic. But certainly it is of vital importance for these kids.” This pilot was perceived a success and received but also critical thinking and project completion skills, valuable for no an award from the Oregon Tree Commission. matter where their paths may lead them. This year, Albany increased funding to accom- modate 6 students. An additional 12 students came from the Portland area, supported through a fund-raiser held last Fall. “Even if these kids do not go on to careers in woodworking, they are learning how to think critically and how to carry a project through to completion. We need to get hands-on education back into every school. From the arts to music to shop class, we need to train our kids in the broadest possible way. This is called a liberal arts education. I’m a fan of it.” WIN is in the process of setting up a website— www.winoregon.org—to promote the program and seek support from the public to provide opportu- nities for additional students.

January-February, 2016 Woodworker West Page 53 Profile: Curt Theobald Curt Theobald of Pine Bluffs, WY uses segmented turning to express observations. Here is Curt’s story, in his own words: From early childhood, I have always loved to assemble things. My first exposure to woodworking was looking over my father’s shoulder, as he was always busy doing some kind of construction or repair. By age 9, I no longer was satisfied with making objects out of toothpicks, and my father relinquished the use of his electric to me. After minimal instruction and a safety comment (“Don’t cut yourself!”), I was off cutting various patterns in wood. From that point, I was hooked, wondering what could be created with wood. In high school, I took a lot of wood shop, though it was more like exploring on your own. For example, the instructions on how to use the lathe were “grab something off the rack, stick it Thunderbird in the wood, and see what happens.” Butternut, Wenge Carob & Holly 1 (4 /4" h, 6" dia) Being a wheat farmer, my father relied mostly on his own abilities, determination, and creativity to repair almost anything that broke. Growing up helping him, I internalized In addition to wood, Curt Theobald creates these same skills, which helped me secure a job with a segmented work out of alabaster. construction company as a concrete form builder and cement finisher. For several years, I built and set forms and poured hundreds of thousands of yards of concrete, moving from project to project. Even after becoming crew foreman, I woke up one morning in a Salt Lake City hotel and decided that there was more to life than living out of a suitcase. I landed a job in a production cabinet shop in Cheyenne, WY and found the skills that I learned building concrete forms translated well to the building of cabinets. Not being able to match my construction salary, the owner allowed me to use his tools on the side, and pretty soon, I was working late hours on pieces that I brought in myself. After a while, it only made sense for me to go out on my own, and I opened a cabinet business, out of a barn on the family farm. While working at the cabinet shop, I noticed an old Shopsmith lathe in the corner, and I purchased it, got it running, and began turning wood. I found working in the round was a great alternative from making square boxes, and I tried to set aside time every day to turn. After discovering a segmented turning project in a magazine, I went crazy, drawing up different designs that I could make. All I could think about was gluing wood together and turning. This passion consumed my every spare moment, until I became a full-time studio woodturner— with the encouragement of my wife Wanda—in 2002. As with most novice segmented turners, my early work was native American influenced. Living in Wyoming, I don’t have to go far to find chips or pieces of arrowheads, and I did research on the tribes of my region to replicate their craft designs in wood, such as Thunderbird (upper left). Today, I do sculptural pieces, related to my family, life Diamonds experiences, and observations. My Mothers (on the cover) is Alabaster, Ebony dedicated to my wife and the birth mother of our adopted (4" h, 5" dia) daughter. The smaller piece on the left symbolizes our

Page 54 Woodworker West January-February, 2016 daughter, composed of segments from both maternal forms. In Sisters (below), my two daughters are shown as polar opposites, existing in harmony as siblings. I begin each piece by making rough sketches of ideas, and then a quick and dirty prototype of the shape, out of cheap wood. Once satisfied, I will go back to the drawing board to interpret what I’m thinking in my head and how I want to present it to the public. Ultimately, I create a full-scale drawing, detailing what wood segments will be used and where the joints will be. The key element in segmented turning is paying attention to wood movement across the grain. There is interesting One of Curt’s miniature turnings, where precision segmented work that has end grain to side grain glue joints, really matters. which is only a recipe for failure. It is also important to be aware of grain and color in designing the piece. Non- segmented turners are under the impression that I can just use scrap wood, but if I want a vessel out of the same species, I want to use pieces from the same tree to insure the same shade and color throughout. In addition, the grain of the assembled segments can convey emotion, when working in harmony with the shape. It invites the viewer along on a journey of a deeper, more contemplative experience. Precision is the killer. If you strive for perfection, it will be close enough. If you go for close enough, it won’t be. I use machinist calipers, and I measure to the thousands of an inch. 3 That becomes real evident in my miniature pieces that are /4" in diameter with over 300 pieces of wood. If you are off by a few thousands, it will be quite apparent. Motivated by the challenge has kept segmented turning fresh for me, since the 1990s. I constantly push myself to do work that is new or at least better than the last piece that I have done. And I enjoy sharing my knowledge. I have produced two videos: Introduction to Segmented Turning and Segmented Patterns—and I teach in my studio and at various symposia.

You need your tools to be precise, reliable and last a long, long time. Which is why you invest in quality like the 1400-pound ultra heavy-duty, 7 1/2 HP 20" Planer (#30-360HC). Segmented feed roller provides positive grip and smooth, steady feeding for vibration-free performance. Knife replacement is faster with the unique Magnum helical head with reversible carbide inserts to reduce tear-out and eliminate the need for special torque-setting tools. Adjustable height in-feed table roller reduces snipe. And when the job calls for a portable planer, we’ve got you covered there too.
