Long description
Turning is not hard work anymore, you don’t have to beat your body up turning. It is a finesse thing no strength is needed. I let the lathe and tools do all the work and absorb the forces. I am more of a teacher not an entertainer. My demos are fun to watch but they are designed to be instructional. You can see my work in the Gallery, see above menu.
I will use the bowl format to teach the foundation elements for all turning. These techniques will help the beginner to shorten the learning curve and benefit the advanced turner to fine tune their methods. It is very comprehensive.
This Bowl Basics instruction will cover topics of roughing out blanks, chucking methods, bowl gouge tool control, preventing catches, design elements, vibration issues, preventing torn out grain, reverse chucking, and finishing. My goal is to start sanding with 320-220 grit sandpaper on the outside of bowls. This is not a sales pitch or review for my tools.

Biographical Information
Lyle Jamieson

 ​Lyle’s first experience with turning came as a child.  He did all kinds of woodworking mentored by his father. In 1988, the woodworking tools got left behind...for turning.
​ 
Lyle is the inventor/creator of the Jamieson Hollow Form Turning System for safer, in-control hollowing that is fun too. The system creates a rest behind the
main tool rest which simplifies the hollowing process. A turner can stand beside the lathe and
gently guide the cutter into the vessel with fingertip control. One advantage is the use of a laser beam measuring devise to accurately measure wall thickness of hollow forms. This makes hollowing fun and easy, no need to work hard anymore.

Lyle Jamieson’s turned figurative sculptures adorn the shelves and displays cases of museums, patrons, and institutions around the world. Lyle is also an accomplished teacher of woodturning technique, when teaching, Lyle concentrates on the
process of turning in contrast to the product. What is the difference between a beginning turner and an advanced turner? It is what they do with the basics.

Currently, Lyle is also doing Live Remote Interactive Demonstrations over the internet from his studio for club meetings and personal or other teaching
opportunities. See Lyle’s web site for details and topics offered.
