An evening with Frans Brown
Our demonstrator for the first Club night of 2012 was club member Frans Brown who is perhaps best known for his large hollow form work.
He shared with members some of the challenges such work entails and how he tackles them.
Working such a long way from the headstock demands some serious kit.
Here Frans is using some of his home made jigs. The lathe steady provides essential support and the cutting edge of the hollowing tool is held rigid where it matters.
