Cheam Woodturners Association Cheam Woodturners was formed in October 1999 to promote the art and craft of woodturning in the South London/North Surrey area.

The page of the Cheam Woodturners Association.Our aim is to promote the art and craft of woodturning in the South London/North Surrey area in the UK..We have lathes to loan if needed We meet on the third Wednesday of every month in the Peel Hall at the the Elmcroft Community Centre at 570 London Road, North Cheam, SM6 9AB. Entrance to the Elmcroft car park is via the traffic lights for th

Our meetings cover a wide range of topics, with demonstrations and discussions together with a range of regularly used woodturning accessories for sale and a raffle and are always delighted to see interested newcomers. Alongside our monthly meetings Cheam Woodturners undertake other activities including arranging occasional trips to shows, taking stalls at local craft fairs and tree harvesting. Our members include amateur and professional turners, all of whom are happy to share their skills and experiences. There is a wide age range and we have several female members as well as the rather larger number of men. Non-members are welcome to attend meetings and demonstrations. There will be a £5 fee which is refunded if the visitor becomes a member on the night. We are twinned with Central Oklahoma Woodturners in the USA.

I've been getting acquainted with my laser cutter as part of my ongoing learning process, with the goal of incorporating it into my woodturning projects to add a new creative dimension. Here are a few of the test pieces I've experimented with so far—though, of course, some didn’t quite make the cut (otherwise known as "learning opportunities"!).

Aside from the slate engravings, the animals, which feature a form of relief carving (deep engraving to create a semi-3D effect), have found new life as fridge magnets. I've also created a 3D-style Christmas hanging scene and some engraved coasters. One of my favorites is the cute mouse on the cheese board!

Hi I've been using my F1 and its technology to add another feature to my woodturning. Here's a picture of a spalted beech night light which I turned. It is fitted with a USB-powered LED light in the base and controlled by a remote. The remote lets you choose from different lighting moods and colors. Here is the added advantage of using the laser/cutter. I lasercut some small discs with Halloween images and placed them in the light unit, which projects the images onto the ceiling for a little bit of fun!!!

One of the main reasons I purchased a Laser (F1) was to incorporate technology into the projects I create in my workshop. For example, I recently made a couple of bird boxes using leftover materials, and this time I had the oportunity to add a little engraving.

We have known Dalmann UK for just over 10 years and were pleased to pop along to their Open Day on Saturday. Dalmann have taken over Stiles and Bates stock so there was plenty of timber, both native and exotic to see and buy. Phil Irons was demonstrating and entertaining the audience. Big thanks to Rob and his team for a great open day.
Rob was presented with a turned sailing ship made from Mulumanhyama. This was one of the first batch of timbers Dalmann imported and was purchased by Cheam as a gift to Central Oklahoma Woodturners with whom we were twinned.The timber travelled from Mozambique to the UK, then on to Phoenix and Oklahoma and finally back again to the UK !

Using a bit of technology from my new laser equipment, I've been exploring and integrating some simpler techniques into my woodturning and woodworking projects. Here are some photos showing the items I've created with their engravings and cuttings: an oak door stop (with a flat rear edge), a small thin-walled yew pot, a basswood Christmas tree (a bit early, but definitely a challenge), and an oak house wall plaque.

What an amazing day we had at the Ashstead Village Fair last Saturday!
Our talented team of 6 members proudly represented Cheam Woodturners with not one, but 2 pitches showcasing our craft. Visitors were captivated by our stalls, which featured a stunning array of handcrafted items for sale, along with live demonstrations on the lathe and scroll saw. The buzz and excitement were palpable as thousands of fair-goers stopped by to admire and learn about the intricate art of woodturning.
Check out the movie and snapshots from the day to see the magic in action.
