Bodging Scotland CWA-1 CWA SKILLS DEVELOPMENT SCHEME Green woodworking and pole lathe turning for beginners Hosted by: Dunnottar Bodgers Group & Dunnottar Woodland Park Association Stonehaven Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th April 2010 INVITATION Dunnottar Bodgers Group and the Dunnottar Woodland Park Association, in conjunction with the Community Woodlands Association, are pleased to extend a warm invitation to you to join them at the Green woodworking and pole lathe turning for beginners course held near the quarry area of Dunnottar woods, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. This event will offer another great opportunity to network, highlight and discuss common issues and concerns, share your skills and experiences, and learn from the inspirational work of others. This learning and networking opportunity is aimed at members of community woodland groups and members of the general public that would wish to learn more about the traditional craft of bodging and green wood turning. The objectives of the course are: • To provide an opportunity for participants to take part in a variety of green wood working processes. • Use bodging processes to make a simple wooden stool from locally sourced timber and/or contribute to the manufacture of shaving horses for use by the host group. The course will consist of an informal meeting and meal in a local hotel on the Friday evening prior event where participants can meet and have a general discussion. Kenny Grieve is the trainer for this course and will be on hand to answer any questions before starting the course proper the following day. On the Saturday morning the participants will embark on the two day practical course based in Dunnottar woods, where the Dunnottar Bodgers Group have established a base. Participants will start from freshly felled timber and carry out processes using side axe, draw knives, shaving horses and pole lathes. Please note that the entire course is based outside and shelter will be provided in the form of a woodland canopy but partipants should be properly equipped for cold and wet conditions (after all - it is Scotland in April). The workshop will continue as long as light and enthusiam prevails on Saturday night and will resume Sunday morning for another full day. Bookings can be made by emailing Alan Craig at [email protected] or completing the online form at www.dunnottarwoods.org/bodgingcourse as soon as possible and by no later than Monday 22nd March, 2010. Numbers are limited to 14 for the event and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. This event is supported by the Scottish Government Skills Development Scheme, Robertson Trust and the Hugh Fraser Foundation .

  • The Turner Issue 39 May 2014 Full
    TH ETURNER THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF TURNERS OF LONDON June 2014 On 29 th May 2014, Ascension Day, I became the 344 th Master of the Worshipful Company of Turners. Only 344 Masters in the 410 years since our Royal Charter in 1604 because for most of our first 160 years it was usual for Masters to serve for two-year terms. For many years before 1604 we believe that two Wardens governed the Guild of Turners and in the earliest times we know that in 1179 “the gild of strangers of which Warner le Turner is elderman” owed 40 shillings for not being properly licensed by the King. What an honour and a privilege to continue in a succession spanning at least 835 years. I am hugely indebted to the long line of distinguished Masters who have preceded me leaving the Company in such good health, and to our capable Clerk, Wardens, Master’s Steward, Committee Chairmen and Members, Beadle, Almoner, Archivist and Chaplain with whom to share the responsibilities of office. And I owe special thanks to Rhidian Jones who has proved to be yet another outstanding Master of the Company and whose wise counsel will be available to me as Deputy Master. My first experience of turning came in the 1960s when, as a young engineer in a modern aluminium rolling mill, I learned about lathe production of the micron finishes and cambers of mill rolls that are needed to produce sheet to the necessary gauge, flatness, surface finish and temper. One of my very first assignments involved production of high-strength, heat-treated aircraft sheet for the supersonic Concorde.
