A Combined Pen and Whistle Gintaras started his demo by making a whistle pen as a nod to his craft teacher when he was at school in Lithuania. He mounted a long blank in a chuck and drilled a short pilot hole before following with a long drill bit to drill a hole long enough to accommodate the ink refill from a regular Bic-type biro. The starter hole helps prevent the long bit from wandering off-centre. The bit Gintaras used was one he fashioned from a length of steel by flattening the end and sharpening the wings.
Pepper Shaker After break Gintaras made a salt cellar using an apple wood blank approximately 110 – 130mm X 60 – 70mm. The blank was mounted between centres and trued with a tenon. After being mounted in a chuck the end of the blank was trued and a hole drilled 20mm x 55mm deep with a Forstner bit.Then the blank was marked at 65mm and the measurement cut in to establish the bottom of the cellar. With that done the 'apple' was shaped and a substantial stem left at the chuck to provide strength for hollowing the piece.
Introduction Ulster Woodturners had the pleasure of watching Gintaras Malinauskas present their October demonstration on Saturday 1st October,a change to accommodate the IWG Seminar on 8th October, in the Wood Shed.
