Mick Hanbury made the journey over from England to give us two demonstrations, one was a flanged bowl
with some piercing, the second was a spiralled box. Mick is an expert at his trade and ably demonstrated
his techniques. The show was enjoyed by about 60 Ulster Chapter members. Micks demo is illustrated
below.

Mick's depth gauge, sand the centre and mark the area to be pierced
