CICAAW - 2004 Al Stirt Demonstration
http://www.cicaaw.org/taxonomy/view/or/91
Two-day CICAAW-sponsored demonstration by nationally recognized turner and demonstrator, Al Stirt. September 18 & 19 2004.enCarving Lines
http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/376
Al uses the Ryobi reciprocating carver to trace geometric lines into the black Gesso. The lines were created using repeated patterns of a "chevron" template made out of mylar. He uses a watercolor pencil, dry, to draw the pattern. Later, he can use a damp paper towl to erase the lines without having color bleed into the carved areas.

http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/380
Here's the jig that Daryl Mitchell built according to Al's plans. This provides support over the entire rim while holding the bowl securly. This prevents the piece from moving and the rim from flexing while he uses his pneumatic reciprocating carver. Sun, 19 Sep 2004 16:46:44 -0700Bowl Carving Jig

http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/364
The final decoration on the bottom of the platter was a series of shallow coves. Later he would apply these to the rounded bottom of the bowl as well. Sun, 19 Sep 2004 17:15:59 -0700Various Carving

This shows various carving techniques on the sycamore bowl. Sun, 19 Sep 2004 17:17:59 -0700Straight Lines
http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/345
Al had a great way to ensure straight lines that were parallel to the floor. By placing the pencil along the flat surface of the jig, the pencil would remain flat, thereby removing the error of the pencil tipping up or down while following the tool rest.

http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/374
This is a portable version of Al's custom vacuum carving chuck. He just clamps it to a strong surface and applies a vacuum when he wants a piece secured during carving. Sun, 19 Sep 2004 16:44:46 -0700Various Carving

http://www.cicaaw.org/node/view/351
This is the bit that Al uses in his pneumatic reciprocating power carver. The bit was created by fitting the tang of a hand held wood gouge into some bar stock that then fits into the power carver. Sun, 19 Sep 2004 16:57:39 -0700
