My dad Allan Batty died today peacefully in his sleep. He is incredibly well loved and respected in the woodturning community.
It's hard for me to put it into words my gratitude for the knowledge my dad taught me when I was just a boy.
We have all missed his entertaining woodturning demonstration over the recent years. The last time we both demonstrated together was in Oregon all most 5 years ago. My dad has not demonstrated since due to illness.

Sad. I have and use one of his bedans. Very talented man.
God bless their family.
RIP Mr. Batty

Sad to lose such an admired man and master of his craft. Condolences and peace to his family.
I just watched his video on the skew chisel last week, and am very grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn from his recorded demonstrations.
