Diary for April 2006
Our guest for the evening was John Berkeley. John is a well known woodturner, puzzle maker, and author of woodturning articles and books. This evening he demonstrated how to chase threads.

On his web site he describes his background as follows:
"I began turning about twelve years ago, having previously been involved with the restoration of metal antiques-dirty job! From the first time my arm was twisted to make bone cribbage pegs, my interest in things softer than brass began to grow. I "graduated" to ear rings in bone, and then wood, dolls house bits, including goblets, chess pieces, rattles and many other things, to my current speciality of puzzles and boxes, mostly with hand chased screw threads."
