A Segmented Turning - Part 1

[@gordroberts53]

Thanks Steve. Was looking for a video on how to build a SW Eagle feature ring but thought I'd check this out first. Learned a lot, like your sled too. Thanks for sharing!

[@imanutnur7]

I am a novice at segmenting vessels and as I watch KZbin videos of segment turning and pass over many of the videos on the subject but continue to be impressed with your logic and precision on the subject.

[@slindsley1951]

Tom - Thank you for your comment. I find segmented turning a challenge but one that's worth the effort. Thanks again. Take care, Steve

[@hawkeye10100]

Thank you for a great video, Steve. This type of video really helps me out.

[@slindsley1951]

Don - I'm glad that you found my video helpful! Take care, Steve

[@efrancis19]

Steve, I agree with Bob Daniel. The narration helps to clearly explain what you are doing, and adds to the value of your video. Please, keep doing what you are doing! This was a great help to me and was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting, and keep up the beautiful work.

[@slindsley1951]

Eric, Thank you for the comment. I was pleased to read you found the video helpful and, more importantly, educational. I'll keep providing enough comments to fully explain what I'm doing particularly on construction that might be somewhat confusing. Thank you also for subscribing to my channel. I appreciate your support! Steve

[@eddiecastelin8341]

great video,lots of technique, no art, just how to. I love it.

[@slindsley1951]

Thank you very much Cap'n Eddie! I've enjoyed watching and learning from your videos over the years. I hope that you can get back to Makin' Shavin's again one day soon. Take care, Steve

[@michaeldonnelly4336]

I too appreciate the explanation. I have turned many bowls, but am yet to attempt a segmented design. I didn't even know what a feature ring was until watching your video. Thanks for the teaching and please keep the talk coming:)

[@slindsley1951]

Thank you Michael. Segmented turning is a lot of fun but a lot of effort. I appreciate the feedback on the video and was glad to read that you learned something new. I'm hoping to done one more segmented project before I put the lathe away and start my other projects. Stay tuned! Steve

[@stringmanipulator]

I think it's great that you explain things thoroughly and not just expect everybody to know the different aspects of segmented turning. Very nice work, thanks for sharing (*subscribing*)

[@slindsley1951]

Thanks Bob. I believe the answer is somewhere in the middle, that being, combining the right about of "how to" with comments/thought processes. I've only been making videos since last January. I record and edit them on my iPhone which limits me somewhat. Guys like Steve Ramsey and the Wood Whisper make it look easy but it's not. I'll keep practicing and improving my videos and hopefully find a good balance. Thanks for the comment. Take care, Steve

[@robertspeier9512]

I have made the zig zag ring before but got brain dead resenting because I haven't been in the shop lately. Thanks for the tutelage to get back on track.

[@slindsley1951]

Glad the video helped Robert. You can never have too much time in the shop! :-) Take care, Steve

[@slindsley1951]

Thanks for the feedback Dave. I didn't realize I was being quite that yappy in this video. I agree that I need to talk less and show more. I'm still learning the best way to make these videos and appreciate the feedback.

[@joellarry71]

dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend recently =)

[@terrycamdyn2375]

@Joel Larry yup, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@Buzzsawman]

you might not realize it but you just solved a problem with which I have struggled for a long time. and the solution was so simple I could kick myself....after I glued up pairs... cutting the points off and getting the segments the same size individually was a pain...taping them to MDF and running them through as a unit was exactly what I needed....thanks

[@slindsley1951]

You're welcome. Glad you found a tidbit in my video that helped you out. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Take care, Steve

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Awesome Steve awesome.

[@slindsley1951]

Thanks Kobie.

[@beaustjohn2342]

very nice work! i believe i will use this method on my next bowl!

[@slindsley1951]

Good luck! I hope that you are successful with your project. Thanks for watching my video! Take care, Steve

[@BobDaniel]

I'm going to confuse the issue then, I'm afraid, because I appreciate the thought process behind the work, the decision making, the pros and cons, paths not taken etc. In other words, I appreciate the talk.

[@thirdson2441]

HI Steve...love your videos. Where have you gone? These are so helpful.

[@slindsley1951]

Thank you very much for your comment and for watching my videos. It's very much appreciated. Take care, Steve

[@imanutnur7]

You do a great job on these videos. I use a live center on my tail stock and use a cole jaws as a press and to align my layers seems to go pretty fast.

[@slindsley1951]

Thanks for the comment Tom. I've started using a live center and cole jaws as well. Add in a wedgie sled and the amount of time it takes me to complete a project has been drastically reduced. Take care, Steve

[@kencmain]

thank you for this instruction. I have been wondering how the zig zag happens. Suggestion for next time when you are cutting the the segments: Use a tall fence to stop the tear out and most importantly, you could use a set up gauge that you put in place against your stop, set the part in the sled and against the set up gauge and clamp the part. Then remove the setup gauge - that would give you the exact cut each time and not tear up your stop. I hope that makes scene.

[@slindsley1951]

Thank you for the comment and suggestions. I appreciate you taking time to watch my video. Take care, Steve

[@FranciscodeAssis54]

Muito bom, criatividade em curso...

[@slindsley1951]

Thank you for your comment. Obrigado pelo seu comentário

Great video Steve - I have watched several times over the past couple of years and finally decided to try as my skills improved. What is the blade on your table saw please? Thanks Dennis

[@slindsley1951]

Dennis - Thanks for watching my videos! It's very much appreciated. I believe the blade that was on my saw for the video was a thin kerf blade from CMT. I stopped using that particular blade several years ago. I switched to one from Infinity Cutting Tools. It's a 50 tooth combination blade that pretty much does everything. I only take it off the saw to clean it. I put a link below if you're interested. Thanks again!

Width of the 2 maple strips and width of the bloodwood strip??

[@slindsley1951]

Tom - The bloodwood strip is 1/4 inch wide. I'd guess that the maple strips were around 1 3/4 inches wide. The width of the maple strips should be wider than needed as the points are going to be trimmed off after the pieces are glued together. My ring ended up being 1 5/8 inches wide excluding the top and bottom bloodwood rings. My advice would be to add a little extra width to the maple strips. It can always be trimmed off to get to your final width. Thanks for watching and for the question. Take care, Steve

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

Thank you for the indepth reply, I really appreciate it, and thanks for the great videos, I enjoy the way you put them on!!

[@slindsley1951]

You’re very welcome. Steve

[@LuizAntonio-mg4xp]

hello good morning my friend. I really enjoyed this video and I wonder if you could send me a PDF or measures The Segmented Turning - Part 1 enjoyed and will try to make me okay. Des already thank you hug

[@slindsley1951]

Luiz - I'm sorry but I don't have a PDF or for this project. I usually start with a drawing and modify the project as I go along so my initial sketch does not match the final product. Sorry about that! I appreciate you watching my video and commenting. Take care, Steve
