Sue
Harker's Potted History
My journey into
woodturning started at the turn of the
Millennium when I bought my Husband
Graham a lathe for his Birthday.
Snainton Woodworking Supplies where I
bought the lathe, run a beginners night
for those who have purchased a lathe
from them. I started to go along with
Graham for the social side of the
evening and to show an interest in his
new hobby. Before long I was so
enchanted with the beauty of timber and
the endless possibilities available to
the holder of the tools, I had to have a
go. I was so taken that by the end of
the year (my birthday and Christmas) I
was the proud owner of my own lathe and
chuck.
I joined two
woodturning clubs and began to see
professional demonstrations; these were
a source of inspiration and a wealth of
invaluable information. As my turning
improved I started to enter club,
Northern Federation and National
competitions with great success. These
competitions and my desire to create
something different were responsible for
the development of my open segment work
and with it the design of my open
segment wheel.
By 2006 I was
becoming well known for my open segment
turning and was being asked to
demonstrate at Clubs, Woodworking Shows
and Retail Outlets across England.
Through popular demand I now produce and
sell a range of open segment wheels
In January 2007 I
was accepted onto the Register of
Professional Turners run by the
Worshipful Company of Turners, London
and the icing on the cake came in late
March of 2007 when The Worshipful
Company of Turners awarded me a Bursary.
Reg Sherwin:
Which
Way Do I Turn?
A course in Spindle Turning
Eight DVD series
available individually or as a box set
Reg Sherwin - A potted history Reg. Sherwin became a self
taught woodturner in 1966, starting out with a lathe attachment for a power
drill. By 1968 Reg. had gone through the usual hobby turner stages of power
drill lathe, home made ‘lathe’ and ‘real’ lathe, which was in fact a Coronet
Minor combination machine. In 1969 Reg. was working in the aircraft components
industry when redundancy struck and so, armed with the ‘real’ lathe, Reg. set
out as a self employed woodturner to conquer the world. The next few years saw
Reg. surviving a number of adventures in the repetition turning trade and also a
two year excursion into employing nine operators. Reg’s first woodturning
article was published by G.M.C. Publications in 1981, and he wrote regularly for
G.M.C. from that date. His ‘Diary of a Woodturner’ became ‘Reg. Sherwin’s
Column’, and the last one, number 113, appeared in November 1998. His book,
‘Pleasure and Profit from Woodturning’ was published in 1987. He now writes
regular articles, reports and reviews and has also designed woodturning
equipment. He has demonstrated and taught up and down the U.K. and also
internationally and works from a specially designed teaching workshop at
Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings in the Midlands. Reg is on the Register
of Professional Turners, is a founder member of the Association of Woodturners
of Great Britain, and was awarded Lifetime Membership of the association in
2005, ‘For Services to Woodturning’. Having written something approaching 200
instructional articles on woodturning, this DVD set is his first venture into
instruction through the moving image.

This is the one that everybody's been asking for! An improved
format from the first film, we used three digital cameras with
an overhead gantry arrangement providing a unique "birds-eye"
perspective that works so well, you've just got to see the film
to believe it! The second camera provides the wide perspective
shots and the third takes you through an "up-the-arm" perspective.
Andy's superb blend of humour and skill, will mean that you'll
have to set-aside three and a half hours to yourself because once
you press play on your DVD player...you won't be able to move
until the entire film has played!
Projects are: Apple, Pear, Lemon, Plum, Cherries, Grapes and Satsuma.
The film culminates with Stems & Stalks and finally: Finishing.
This is one film we guarantee you will want to watch...again...and
again...and again!
This film takes you through the entire project from start to finish.
It's just like having your very own tutor in your own home! Andy
shows you everything, from stock selection, through grinding your
gouges the professional way, culminating with every aspect of
the project in real time. The film's new innovation is the picture-in-picture
sequences, which get you right into the action! You won't want
to be without this film as it sets the viewer up for the next
film in the series...
