Hi Gary... Great job and a beautiful shallow bowl... It lined up perfectly... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Andy. When you stagger them it is no big deal if you are off a few parts of an inch or mm. I was happy with how they lined up in one row for sure. But this way it is pretty easy to get them lined up. The hardest part is to get those feather edges down nice and tight. Especially on a thinner piece of wood. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@anthonyperry5227]

I'm going to reminisce again! As an apprentice pattenmaker back in 1959 I had a ring pattern to make some 3 feet + diameter (915 mm +). The foreman told me to make it in 9 segments with 3 layers. Being a cocky teenager I made the ring in 6 segments with 2 layers. ie the radius of a circle steps around the circumference exactly 6 times. Finished the ring with the required draft angle of 1 degree outside and 2 degrees inside. Complete with sanding sealer and 3 coats of orange laquer. The foreman came to check it and threw it with all his might down the workshop saying "Now do as you were told". I like to think I became a better person from that day. Anyway - another well crafted piece with spot on explanation!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Anthony for your story. Made me smile, laugh and remember. As an apprentice I did something stupid that the boss said I did not need to do. Funny thing he did not get made or yell at me. Nothing was tossed but I created a lot of extra work. It was also a wood turning. A very big one. Strange doing 9 segments as I was taught to use 6 because of the radius making the chord length. Hmm.. But I really big ones I would use 12 per ring. I am talking in the 8 foot range. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank You Gary.... WOW am I late for the show.... But Gary sitting here on a quiet Saturday morning seems to work better for me. Slower wakeup watching you turn this new adventure seems to work for me better. ... A new segmented platter is so wonderful for me to watch. Your explanations are great and inspires me to experiment on my own. At the 12-minute mark I find your drawing perfect for my brain to understand your process, thanks. Your denatured Alcohol works fast for removing the hot glue without hurting the finish too much?... Cherry, Maple & Rosted Oak turned out wonderful ... So Gary next Saturday morning (unless my curiosity gets the better of me).... TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you TM. Saturday morning works fine for me. The DNA works good but it can mess up some finishes. Plus I ended up with some glue sticks that have been hard to get loose. They are the ones that came with the new hot glue gun I bought. So I stick with Harbor Frieght or Bi-mart glues sticks in the general purpose flavor. See ya later! Gary

[@mvecellio1]

I like the fact that there is no end grain in the turning. Lots of ribbons.

[@s.l.makuka9219]

Great video, Gary. Thanks again for sharing your experience and tips. This was a great follow up to the mating bowl from a segmented board video. One tip for you that you might try, which I picked up along the years of woodworking, is to sprinkle a very small amount of table salt in the glue joint (just a few grains, really). When you mate the two pieces in the joint, the salt “bites” into the wood and keeps it from sliding while you apply clamping pressure. Now a question for you: how do you center the glued up segmented board on the hot glued glue-block tenon? It must be exactly centered to have all the segmented points in the center of the turning. Thanks again! I learn something every time I watch your videos! Steve

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much my friend. That salt trick has been around for a long time and I just do not care for it. One reason is on a piece like this I want to be able to move it around and get it perfect. The salt can work too well and prevent those final moves. Guys at work would use fine sand to do the same. I never did that either. And my doctor told me to cut back on salt LOL. What I do is find the center and mark it with dividers and place the tenon on. That is on the first side. When I put the one on for final turning that is very easy. I get it close and then turn the actual tenon so it ends up perfect. Take care, Gary

Hi Gary, thank you so much for your videos I sure learn a lot from them. I have tried your technique for cutting bowl rings but am finding that the tool gets very hot due to not having any clearance in the cut. Do you have any advice on lathe speed, tool shape and tool height.

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Ross, happy you enjoy my videos. For me the most important part of doing this is having a parting tool that is less likely to bind. I use a Sorby Micro Parting Tool. It is listed as 1 1/16 inch wide and 1/4 inch tall. And the speed is also important. I do not go over 600 RPM. Also I will back it off if it feels it needs it and let it cool. Maybe use a diamond card to touch up the edge. Depending on how hard the wood is. And make sure you let the tool cut and not force it. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@qapla]

Good job, Gary. I like it with the joins lined up. A dish this shallow and so few rings may have looked odd with them staggered. I also like the way you signed on the light wood on the bottom. What speed do you run the lathe when spraying the finish?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you my friend. I put the lathe in low range and it is turning around 60 RPM. There are times I will just spin it by hand and that works. Sadly a brand new can of lacquer was not spraying very well. Thanks for watching, Gary

Nice job Gary very nice looking plate! on a different video when you mentioned deft lacquer sometime back my wife thought you said Def Leppard the band 😄, just thought of it when ya mentioned using the deft lacquer, I hadn’t ever heard of that kind before, anyway enjoyed the video!👍😎

Thank you Kimsey. Yeah I can see how it would sound like Def Leppard for sure😁😂🤣 I have been using Deft Lacquer for many years. Long before Def Leppard hit the scene. Thanks for watching, Gary

Super nice piece Gary. I like the rings lined for a change. I understand the strength issue, but for what this is and how it will be used, having the layers lined up is going to be fine. The one question I have concerns the roasted oak. Is that something you did or did you purchase it? How is that done?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Doug. I do like them lined up as well. My illusion turnings do not have lap joints and I do not worry about them. The roasted oak is sold as a form of insect protection. Where I get it is called Cambia Oak. It is put in an oven and roasted close to the burning stages I guess. What are your concerns with it? If it is not being food safe that is no big deal as i make very few turnings I will allow food to be used in them. Especially any segmented turnings Food safe or not. Thanks for watching, Gary

Hello. Could you explain how you make your jig to hold the parting tool. Many thanks.

[@ThePapa1947]

I have 3 different videos showing 3 ways I have made the jig. Search for ring cutting kin.

Beautiful work. How did you make the jig for your tool rest to hold the parting tool? Thanks.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bob. I made the aluminum one using my milling machine but it could be cut out on a bandsaw. The one made from PLA plastice was made on a 3D printer. I do have tow videos showing how I made two other simple designs that do the same thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ_dioVsrpmNnq8&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYbaY32rlLF0qdU&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary

Hi Gary, I tried my first board to bowl yesterday using all the jigs you have and something did not work. I used a piece of very old I believe Mahogany I got from a old dining room table leaf about 1/2" thick, allowing 3/4" spacing and cut at 45 Degree. But my problem is each ring fall thru the next size up. Plus each ring broke in half after I cut it loose. I used your backing jig behind the rings. Maybe because the wood was very old, which does not make sense. I turned the rings at about 470 rpm. Guess I need to keep trying. Ron USCG RET

Hi Ron, if you spaced them 3/4 inch apart that will not work. That sort of works on a 3/4 thick board. Geometry shows you that a 45 degree angle will be as wide at the bottom as the board is thick. So if you use a 1/2 inch thick board you will only have 1/2 at the bottom so you step it over 1/2 inch. If you watch my video I say that I measure the bottom inside of the first ring and that is how wide the next ring should be at the top. So if the inside bottom is 7 inches then make a mark 7 inches for the next cut. My guess is the wood was very dry and not strong or there was interference with your support board. Let me know if that makes sense. If not I can give you a sketch. Gary
