About the demo
The Nuts and Bolts of it All
Turning a wood or acrylic nut and bolt set with hand chased threads. This demo is all about precision and crafting something not normally made on a lathe. The classic wooden nut and bolt has been a general flat woodworking project for decades but I show you how to make one out of a solid chunk of wood on the lathe. Wood selection, design, bolt head setup (slotted or hex) and hand chased threading at the focus of this demo.
We cover a number of different finishing products and techniques to give you as many finishing options as possible. Everything from penetrating oils to waxes and friction polish to lacquers and polys. This can be a power point discussion though real time finishing can be included depending on the demo, setup and location.
I began my woodturning journey in 2012 after sustaining a minor concussion in a car accident. Nothing too serious but I did experience “post concussion syndrome”. Finding a hobby helped me get through that and woodturning ended up being what I really became passionate about. After a couple years I started selling pens and small finished turnings. That experience led to bigger and better craft fairs and helped me really start to understand not only how to make better wood turnings but also start developing some expertise with tools, products and techniques.
The Walnut Log started to evolve from a craft fair vendor of finished goods to a supply retailer. In 2016 we became an LLC focused on providing our customers the highest quality tools, equipment and supplies for woodturning. By that time I was also an international demonstrator and woodturning teacher. Woodturning education is very important to me and I’m happy to offer that in addition to product information and demonstration.
