One of my associates from Kaatskill Woodturners Association, Keith Tompkins,
will be on HGTV on Monday February 16, 2009 at 8:00 AM. The name of the
program is "That's Clever". He will demonstrate the making of his whimsical
circle of fish and a bottle stopper.

Keith sells in the gallery market... It is always interesting to see his
latest work! We've got a number of guys in our group who are working at or
near that level, e.g.,. Carl Ford, Matt Clarke, Steve Sherman, John
Franklin, and Paul Pietre. Here's a few links:

This year Totally Turning is going on at the same venue as my club's show on
the same weekend... last weekend of March:

Thanks for the tip. I set the show up to record the series.
Your friend is obviously very skillful. Does he make the circle of
fish thing on a whim or does he make them to sell? When items like
that are so labor intensive they should bring a good price to pay the
crafter for skill and labor.
Is there a market for these that will give him a fair price?

Once folks saw it done it seemed perfectly reasonable but when he said he
was going to do it it just didn't seem reasonable!

Not to metal workers. :-)

If you want to make non-square objects, It helps to have a 4-jaw
non-scroll chuck.

Must be a lot of hand figuring that creates the transition from the
base to the upper. I can't think of any other way to do it and the
demo doesn't show it.

Very nice. What is the stem made of?
Go to the web site for Carolina Mountain Woodturners:
http://www.carolinamountainwoodturners.org/
Then click on newsletters along the right hand side and then select December
2008.
Keith was the demonstrator that month and the newsletter has a good summary
of the Demo and his hand outs.

Yeah... I've watched him demo how he does that at one of our meetings...
involves turning, sawing and gluing. The Carolina Mountain Woodturners site
probably gives you a good idea.
Winter Rose is one of most interesting to me...
http://keithptompkins.com/galimg/winterrose.jpg He demoed how he makes the
square blocks on the lathe--which seems absurd when you think about it!
