Program - July , 2008

Ray Kroop gave his program on the Ring Master. It is basically a motor and a cutter but it can make bowls, canister sets, pictures frames, vases, and other Ray Kroppunique shapes without the waste you would normally have with a lathe.  And it’s safe and easy to do.  Ray showed pictures of the creations from his 14 year old apprentice. Ray set up his machine and proceeded to make a bowl.  He brought with him other creations.  The cost for a machine is normally around $600 but he was able to find one in the newspaper for about $200, and now owns 3.  The cutting mechanism can even attach to your Shopsmith, mini or midi Lathe or Jet 12” lathe.  One blank can make multiple vases, etc. There are 8 models of the Ringmaster you can choose from.  Well, it was great to see the machine in action, Ray.  Thanks for showing it.  If interested, call Ray as he is now a marketer for the machine.
