Adam Luna demonstrates Threaded Boxes Rocky Mountain Woodturners 2017-05-12 | Adam Luna demonstrates hand chasing threads to attach lids to turned boxes to the Rocky Mountain Woodturners on May 4, 2017.Adam's Bio:I was born and raised in Lima, Peru. A country that is diverse and rich of wood and natural landscapes. My father has been a craftsman since I remember, everywhere we lived he always had his shop on the rooftop of the house we lived, it was always fun coming to play in his shop, feel the wood texture and smell. All he would let me do was sweep and plane by hand. That is how my love and interest for wood started. My dad has been a great influence in the craft, his love and passion for it has grow on me. I remember every time we go to buy wood he will smell it and sometimes taste it (in Peru they could sell you something that would say is mahogany and was not, and by tasting it will be his way of determining, I know... weird). Now every time I go look for wood, smells and textures get my attention. For the last 5 years I've been mainly focused on woodturning, it is my favorite past time or hobby. I have met some amazing people in the craft and have had the honor of having a mentor (Mauricio Kolenc) from Uruguay; his passion and love for the traditional craft has caught my attention, and sparked my interest. Hand thread chasing is what I have been trying to perfect lately. Just like the good Ol' Bill Jones would say repetitive work is the key, and he compared turning like singing "If it's easy it's sheer heaven, but if it's forced ugh!"
