Club Night – 14th February 2023.

For this evenings entertainment Ian George provided a demonstration and the subject this time was a candlestick, the type you associate with Victorian children going to bed with.

The candle stick was made up from 3 parts, a base, a stick and a handle, all of which was made from Yew. Ian started with the base, done as a faceplate turned item initially on a screw chuck, and then re-chucked into the main jaws. 

The stick part was turned in spindle mode with a tenon made so that it fitted into the base. The handle was turned as a ring and then a pin turned that would hold the handle in place. The 3 items were then glued together to create the finished item.

To use up the last 15 minutes of the evening Ian quickly turned a candle. The project provided a really entertaining evening.
