  • The Ornamental Lathe
    The Ornamental Lathe G. Phil Poirier Bonny Doon Engineering Taos, New Mexico, USA Introduction Originating from the simple or common lathe, which is known as the mother of all machine tools, the ornamental lathe is arguably the most capable machine tool in the history of mechanization. In the 1981 Metalsmith Journal, Kener Bond Jr., professor of art at the Rochester Institute of Technology, wrote, “Contemporary jewelers have been less aware of the rose engine and ornamental lathes and the historical contributions they have made to jewelry design and production.”1 This paper was inspired by Bond's quote and will briefly cover the history of the ornamental lathe and how it works, give an overview of many of its accessories, and share how it can be utilized in the design and creation of new ideas in the jewelry industry. Evolution of the Lathe into the Ornamental Lathe The plain or simple lathe dates back over 3000 years. Not until the 15th century did the simple lathe start evolving into something more complex. One of the first of many evolutions included the invention of a traversing spindle, a spindle which could move in and out of its bearings along the lathe’s long axis. This would then impart a screw thread into the workpiece which was attached to one end of the spindle and would traverse the lathe bed with the spindle.2 This meant that the simple lathe could now create the threads needed to make screws. The earliest published illustrations of an ornamental lathe is in Besson’s Theatrum instrumentorum et machinarum.3 The illustration in Figure 1 shows several of the ornamental additions to the simple lathe.

Our annual meeting constitutes the largest woodturning expo under one roof anywhere in the world. This symposium is the culmination of another year of advancement for the AAW – one that finds the organization at 14,000 members strong and poised for significant growth ahead. The artistic and technological advances that have reshaped woodturning since AAW’s founding in 1986 will be on full display here in San José. The AAW has truly become a global institution, with more than 1,030 international members, many of whom will be with us in San José this week, coming from dozens of countries. We deeply value the perspectives that our international members provide and look forward to expanding their ranks in years ahead. For 26 years, the AAW has been the premier advocate for the ancient craft and art of woodturning, an activity that has seen phenomenal growth during the last quarter century by both part-time hobbyists and studio professionals. While the association publishes a world-class journal, maintains a topical website, and supports hundreds of local chapters with a variety of services, it is at this symposium that members see the creative and inspiring demonstrations and can experience hands- on interactions with the world’s best woodturners. We are delighted to bring the AAW annual symposium to the heart of Silicon Valley this year.

  • MDF Rose Engine Construction Instructions Jon Magill V6 – 2/27/07
    MDF Rose Engine Construction Instructions Jon Magill v6 – 2/27/07 This article is aimed at those people who have been initially intrigued with ornamental turning and want to give it a try but found the barriers to getting started too intimidating. If you have watched a demo at a past symposium, or perhaps read an old article with interest, but quickly lost enthusiasm after digging a little deeper and realizing how difficult or expensive it is to find, purchase and restore an antique ornamental lathe, then this may be the project for you. This article presents a very simple design for a rose engine lathe which is capable of doing high quality work, yet is easy to build in a home workshop. The Design There have been countless designs for rose engine lathes and there are many ways to make a rose en- gine. Likewise, there are an almost infinite number of possibilities for features that can be included when designing or building a rose engine. For the purpose of this article, the focus is on a simple design, a be- ginner’s lathe to gain experience on. That is not to say that this lathe is limited in capabilities. This design is simple yet very capable. It has also been designed to allow adding optional features to it. A future arti- cle will describe some advanced features to add on to the lathe and ideas for where to go once you have gained some experience using your first rose engine. Paul Fletcher, an accomplished and ingenious orna- mental turner from England, shared his basic design for an MDF rose engine lathe.
