Tips and Techniques for Using a Detail Gouge
Woodturning Tools, Techniques, and Projects Alan N. Leland Tips and Techniques for Using a Detail Gouge Roughing with a Spindle Gouge I prefer to rough out my spindles with a 1 1/4” roughing gouge or a ¾” roughing gouge. Roughing out can be accomplished with a detail gouge but it takes a bit longer and the finished cuts are not as smooth. Used properly a 1 ¼” roughing gouge can leave nearly the same finish as a skew. For roughing cuts: the cut is started approximately 2” in from the tail stock end and proceeds in multiple 2” increments cutting toward the tail stock until approximately 3” from the head stock end of the blank at which point the direction of cut is reversed toward the head stock these cuts are accomplished with the tool handle perpendicular to the blank and the end of the handle down at approximately a 45 degree angle to insure that when the cutting edge makes contact with the wood that the bevel is rubbing and the tool is not cutting until the handle is raised up to start the cut. Hold the tool firmly but not tight as in all turning the tool needs to be easily manipulated and this can not be done with a tight grip on the tool. The feet should be spread apart and the body should be free to move with the cut. To achieve the most control, the flute of the tool is sandwiched between the thumb and fingers of the left hand. The thumb is exerting pressure down toward the tool rest and is griping the flute against the fingers. -

THE IONIC CAPITAL OF THE GYMNASIUM OF KYNOSARGES. (PLATES VL—Vm.) THE excavations of the British School at Athens, in the winters of 1896 and 1897, had the result of determining that the site, on which they were carried on, had been a burial ground previous to the sixth cen- tury B.C. and again after the third century, and that, in the meantime, it must have been covered by the Greek building, of which we laid bare the foundations. The plan of this building resembles that of a large gymnasium; the period of its existence coincides with that during which we know the gymnasium of Kynosarges to have existed, and the position of the site is such as the various mentions of Kynosarges by classic authors leads us to expect. -

Exhibit A LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Cairo Supper Club Building 4015-4017 N. Sheridan Rd. Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, August 7, 2014 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is re- sponsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city per- mits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recom- mendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment dur- ing the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 CAIRO SUPPER CLUB BUILDING (ORIGINALLY WINSTON BUILDING) 4015-4017 N. SHERIDAN RD.

THE PASSAGE of LOTUS ORNAMENT from EGYPTIAN to THAI a Study of Origin, Metamorphosis, and Influence on Traditional Thai Decorative Ornament
The Bulletin of JSSD Vol.1 No.2 pp.1-2(2000) Original papers Received November 13, 2013; Accepted April 8, 2014 Original paper THE PASSAGE OF LOTUS ORNAMENT FROM EGYPTIAN TO THAI A study of origin, metamorphosis, and influence on traditional Thai decorative ornament Suppata WANVIRATIKUL Kyoto Institute of Technology, 1 Hashigami-cho, Matsugasaki, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8585, Japan Abstract: Lotus is believed to be the origin of Thai ornament. The first documented drawing of Thai ornament came with Buddhist missionary from India in 800 AD. Ancient Indian ornament received some of its influence from Greek since 200 BC. Ancient Greek ornament received its influence from Egypt, which is the first civilization to create lotus ornament. Hence, it is valid to assume that Thai ornament should have origin or some of its influence from Egypt. In order to prove this assumption, this research will divine into many parts. This paper is the first part and serves as a foundation part for the entire research, showing the passage, metamorphosis and connotation of Thai ornament from the lotus ornament in Egypt. Before arriving in Thailand, Egyptian lotus had travelled around the world by mean of trade, war, religious, colonization, and politic. Its concept, arrangement and application are largely intact, however, its shape largely altered due to different culture and belief of the land that the ornament has travelled through. Keywords: Lotus; Ornament; Metamorphosis; Influence; Thailand 1. Introduction changing of culture and art. Traditional decorative Through the long history of mankind, the traditional ornament has also changed, nowadays it can be assumed decorative ornament has originally been the symbol of that the derivation has been neglected, the correct meaning identifying and representing the nation. -

Festoons – Small Flower Forms in Landscape Gardens
Teka Kom. Ochr. Kszt. ĝrod. Przyr. – OL PAN, 2013, 10, 211–222 FESTOONS – SMALL FLOWER FORMS IN LANDSCAPE GARDENS Halina Laskowska, Margot Dudkiewicz Institute of Ornamental Plants and Landscape Architecture, University of Life Sciences in Lublin LeszczyĔskiego str. 58, 20-068 Lublin, [email protected] Summary. Festoon was a decorative motif in a park, in the form of a ribbon of climbing plants, (suspended between the crowns and trunks of trees), rambling plants (eg. Rosa L., Fuchsia L., Heliotropium L.) or stretched between small objects of landscape architecture. Festoons were spread on the ropes hooked to the stakes supporting rambling plants. To form festoons such plants as Hedera helix L., Vitis L., Clematis L., Lonicera L. and Ipomoea L. were used. Festoons were known in Antiquity, in Greek and Roman architecture. They were also used as a decorative motif in the Renaissance, Classicism, Empire and Art Nouveau. Festoons were used to surround eg. terraces, they were also placed along the sides of parterre carpets, on driveways in front of man- sions and palaces, or along walking alleys. Festoons belonged to the elements frequently used in landscape parks. Key words: festoon, small floral form, landscape park INTRODUCTION The state of research on the historical gardens in Poland is still unsatisfac- tory. Park features such as flower forms, statues and gazebos, are among the least durable components of the composition. Difficulty of this research is con- nected with the destruction caused by two world wars and long-term lack of protection in the second half of the twentieth century [Bogdanowski 2000]. As a result, preserved to present days, historical gardens require constant specialised studies to enable understanding of the compositional principles used in them and highlighting their artistic and natural values [Mitkowska 2008]. -
Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture Free

Periods and movements through time. The study of Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture architecture suffers greatly in comparison with its Greek and Roman counterparts because of the building materials used. Whereas Greek temples, such as Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture Parthenon in Athens, and Roman public buildings, such as the immense bath complex of Caracalla in Rome, immediately catch the attention and admiration of students and travelers, Etruscan architectural remains consist for the most part of underground tombs, foundation walls, models of huts and houses, and fragments of terracotta roof decoration. At the same time, thanks to the description by the Roman architectural historian Vitruvius Ten Books on Architecture 4. The perception of Etruscan architecture has, however, changed Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture since the advent of large-scale excavations Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture the late 19th century, and since the s new evidence has produced important results for our understanding of the architectural traditions in ancient Italy. The overviews on Etruscan architecture address very different kinds of audiences, and each has its own focus and strengths. Colonna and Donati are chapters in general books on the Etruscans for Italian as well as international readers, while Damgaard Andersen covers all aspects of early Etruscan architecture in a very systematic presentation. Barker and Rasmussen emphasizes the landscape of Etruria with accounts of excavations and remains, including architecture. A recent topic of discussion concerns the relationship between Etruscan architecture in general and the architectural traditions of ancient Rome. -

Exploration of Arabesque As an Element of Decoration in Islamic Heritage Buildings: the Case of Indian and Persian Architecture
Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 Exploration of Arabesque as an Element of Decoration in Islamic Heritage Buildings: The Case of Indian and Persian Architecture Mohammad Arif Kamal Architecture Section Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India Saima Gulzar School of Architecture and Planning University of Management and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan Sadia Farooq Dept. of Family and Consumer Sciences University of Home Economics, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract - The decoration is a vital element in Islamic art and architecture. The Muslim designers finished various art, artifacts, religious objects, and buildings with many types of ornamentation such as geometry, epigraphy, calligraphy, arabesque, and sometimes animal figures. Among them, the most universal motif in ornamentation which was extensively used is the arabesque. The arabesque is an abstract and rhythmic vegetal ornamentation pattern in Islamic decoration. It is found in a wide variety of media such as book art, stucco, stonework, ceramics, tiles, metalwork, textiles, carpets, etc.. The paper discusses the fact that arabesque is a unique, universal, and vital element of ornamentation within the framework of Islamic Architecture. In this paper, the etymological roots of the term ‘Arabesque’, its evolution and development have been explored. The general characteristics as well as different modes of arabesque are discussed. This paper also analyses the presentation of arabesque with specific reference to Indian and Persian Islamic heritage buildings. Keywords – Arabesque, Islamic Architecture, Decoration, Heritage, India, Iran I. INTRODUCTION The term ‘Arabesque’ is an obsolete European form of rebesk (or rebesco), not an Arabic word dating perhaps from the 15th or 16th century when Renaissance artists used Islamic Designs for book ornament and decorative bookbinding [1].
