    Woodturner Visit

    This afternoon I payed a visit to Rick Bauer's studio and shop in Durand,WI.
    He has a beautiful barn studio with plenty of inventory on hand including large bowls
    and hollow forms.
    Rick is a member and mentor in the Chippewa Valley Woodturners Guild.
    He often does demonstrations and is the club auctioneer.
    A tour of the shop finds a large Ricon lathe and bandsaw along with a new Delta 46-460 for taking to demos.
    I was interested in his captive hollowing tool shown in the photos.
    A very nice visit with a gift of a chunk of butternut for a couple of bowls!

    Always good to visit other turners in their shops, see what they are doing and using.

    Well there is a name that stands out! My folks were both born and raised in Durand and I heard the Bauer name many times when they told stories of growing up! Bet it was a fun visit! Interesting hollowing system! Looks like you could do some serious damage with that one!

    Thanks for sharing the visit! Always great to see how others turn!

    Rick is a great guy and always willing to teach and share. It sounds like he got rid of the Ricon mini which he didn't care for for the Delta. Wise choice. Last visit Rick was into offset goblets. Fun and wild to turn. Jeff, the shop is always open if you care to visit.

    That's right Steve,you can't chuck wood in Durand without hitting a Bauer!
    Thanks Richard,I'd like to take you up on that and I haven't found time to schedule a bowl lesson yet.
    Also Rick is excited about the new club house in Eau Claire and retiring to full time turning.
