Click to return to list of Diary pages. Diary for August 2004 Len Grantham stood in for the set demonstrator (due to illness) and demonstrated lattice decoration using his newly developed lattice tool. "It may be August but a good turnout for the holiday month" "After forming a simple lattice lid, Len uses a home made jig to create the two halves of a sphere for a lattice ball "Using a home made cup chuck to hold each half of the ball for inside hollowing prior to cutting through with the lattice tool" "The lattice tool, available only from Len at £8 each, has a shoulder set to control the depth of cut. This enables the turner to produce a neat lattice with the same cut depth on both sides. The tool is made of HSS and is easy to sharpen" "Steve Wright from Elston Sawmill was present with a good range of timber ready for the lathe" Site design and implementation by Brian Clifford
