Thank you very much Matthew I appreciate your watching, Gary

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

GLAD U GETTING BETTER. can't wait for ur wood tuning projects.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Manjit. I am sure looking forward to it. Gary

[@carolriley8472]

Thanks so much, Gary...you really explained a few features about importing my feature ring into WoodturnerPro. I am certainly enjoying these informational videos, but it will be so nice when you can turn again. Hope you are doing well and feeling more like yourself!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Carol. Hope it made it easier for you . I am doing much better but still have to avoid putting weight on my ankle. Nice not having the pain. Thanks for watching. Gary

[@make-somedust]

Awesome Gary, I’ve been playing with this program every spare moment trying to understand what you just shared here. Thanks again

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much. I hope it has helped. I will do the 2nd generation as well. It is not hard but will be harder to explain. I like to work it out so it can be easy to understand. Looks like I have time to do it. Take care, Gary

[@kentturkow1572]

Thank you Gary, that was a great informational video. I was having problems with it, but I think you have shown me enough information to start with some simple feather rings. Thanks again and I hope you recover quickly.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Ken. In a few weeks I will take this one to the next level. Once you have this one figured out the next one will be easier. Doing pretty good here thank you. Gary

[@UPwoodturner]

Thanks Gary, I have use the Pro programs and still learning more about it thanks to you sharing it.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dwight. I think it is pretty cool software for sure. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@cherm-k9b]

Thank You Gary... Always interesting watching what your imagination is up to. You said 3 more weeks is not a very long time BUT when told to do something 3 more weeks can seem much longer. It seems with your talents you have very little problem switching gears. Take Care Gary and have FUN no matter what..... TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you TM, you are right 3 more weeks is not all that long. But what will they say in 3 weeks is what concerns me. Can I start doing things I really want to do??? I will wait and see and just stay positive. And I do have fun doing this. Gary

[@williamellis8993]

Just keep healing, Gary. Don't push it to try and get back to turning too soon. Bill

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bill. I will do my best to follow orders. But I have someone here keeping me out of trouble. Hardly any pain most of the time which can make you forget. But I know it is best to take it easy. Thanks, Gary

[@timrauscher3965]

I watch these videos and it seems so easy and I know rhere are more steps than that. Interesting.

[@ThePapa1947]

For the first feature ring i showed you every step needed to do it. For sure there are many more things you can do with this software. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@glencrandall7051]

I have been a user of all of these programs for more than 20 years and in 20 minutes with you I have learned a couple of things I didn't know I could do. Thanks Gary. Take care of the foot. It will be hard but Dr's orders are the best way to go. Again, thank you for sharing. Have a great 2024 and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Glen. I used a feature I was told was not necessary for what I did. In fact it is very important. Lots of ways to get there Stay on track with what I am allowed to do. Thanks for watching. Gary

[@DouglasSewell-g1s]

Glad to hear that things are going well! Thank you for taking the time to show us wood turner pro.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Douglas. Doing much better thank you. Slow going or seems like it not being able to get out to the shop. Gary

[@barryerdman6285]

Glad you are finding ways to occupy yourself while you heal. Thanks. 🙏

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Barry. Going to be at least 3 weeks more for sure. I appreciate you watching it means a lot to me. Gary

[@barryerdman6285]

@@ThePapa1947 in 2022 I was laid up Jan to April with rotator cuff surgery and recovery. I am still working and for a few hours the break was nice but all the rest really sucked. I just found you and Phil on KZbin and got my son to take me out and I bought a small old cheap lathe and add another to my pile of hobbies that I am not very good at. You have been quite a blessing to me with your always always always interesting projects. Thank you

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you for your kind words Barry. That was a long time for you to be laid up. I feel like I could get back turning now but won't till I get the ok. Even though my ankle is not hurting I fear putting weight on it just trying to get up and use a walker. I do not trust crotches. Hope you are enjoying your lathe. Gary

[@16bitWoodCrafting]

Thank you for taking the time to educate on this tool. Your time and knowledge is appreciated.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much I appreciate your comments. Gary

[@skipflorey2511]

Hi Gary, glad that you are doing well and that you’ll be able to stand & put weight on it in 3 weeks. Should go by quickly… Thanks for the demonstration of Lamination Pro. It looks very intuitive. I really like how it can show the changes in design as you make them. Look forward to your next installment of knowledge.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Skip. Doing ok but I have to admit I am going a bit stir crazy. But I got a new form of transportation. I use a walker to do some thing in the house but mostly a little 6 wheeled stool. The hard thing is outside. The walker is hard on my shoulder that gave me trouble last year. So i bought a knee scooter. Wow so much easier. Once I was able to get the boot on instead of the splint/cast I figured I would try getting back to church. I miss playing my guitar in the choir. Today was first time with the scooter and it was great!!! I have been working on the second generation for Lamination Pro. I spent a few hours drawing parts in my CAD program so will be able to show what is really happening. I think it will make things much easier. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@tommiller4233]

Gary, thanks again for your WoodturnerPro videos. They are very helpful. I hope you are back on your feet soon, but I appreciate these videos on this software.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you 🙏 Tom. Still got a few weeks to see when I can put some weight on it. Mean while more of the same Gary

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Gary. It is easy to see the advantages of this program. Thank you.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Ray. The first generation is easy enough to do without it but the great thing is being able to see it and adjust the angle on the fly. Pretty cool stuff. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@GordonRock1]

Great video, Gary. I hope to do this one of these days! 😎😎😎 Take care, …..Gord

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Gord. I look forward to seeing you back in your shop. All my best to you my friend. Gary

[@charlesallen4702]

Thanks for sharing Gary. I’m definitely buying this software. I’m concerned a little as I’m not very computer savvy. The good thing is I understand how to make some feature rings just by drawing them out. I think this would expand my wood turning projects. Thanks again for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Charles. Most everything we do can be done with pencil and paper. What I like about this is you can make all the changes you want with a click of the mouse. I would go through a lot of erasers and paper making those changes. Not only that you get the dimensions needed and they will be exact. Everything I made at work as a wood patternmaker was drawn full sized with a pencil and paper. Just my 2 cents worth. Gary

[@charlesallen4702]

@@ThePapa1947 that’s amazing. I really like your illusion bowls. And I’m copying one right now. Hope you don’t mind lol. I’m excited to order and try the software. Thanks again for sharing.

[@PattersonPatch]

Gary thanks for your videos on the software series. I ended up purchasing the software bundle and once it is a little bit warmer I will be giving segmenting a go

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Byron. It is pretty amazing software for sure. And in the world of powerful software it is a real good price. Sure glad I bought my CAD/CAM software years ago. They have made it a rent by year thing now. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

Nice explanation/demonstration Gary. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Todd I appreciate you watching and commenting. Gary

[@leenoble7472]

Another fantastic video! Thank you so much for making these. I am learning so much from you.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank Lee. I will have the follow up to this one in a few weeks. I am working on a way I can show what is going on with the second generation without actually cutting the pieces. Right now I am not able to put weight on my injured ankle but I think what I plan on will show it very well. Gary

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Great explanation Gary. I'm going to have to watch this a few times to get my head around it. More views for you LOL. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Huw! So you can watch it 100 times on your PC and it will only count as one. So I have an idea!!!! How about you go to some huge shopping mall and view it on every computer they have on display. Maybe subscribe on each one as well LOL 😂😝🙃 Hwyl, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Any time I get all full of myself from reading comments, I need only to watch one of your segment videos to humble myself. Thank you for this, Gary, I now feel dumb once again and can get on with my life. LOL! You must have been a great student. I know you learned a lot of this while working as a pattern maker, too. It is far beyond my comprehension. I just don't get it. No fault of yours, you are a great teacher, but my mind simply does not work like this. I can't comprehend all these steps. I never thought about it but, that's probably why I turn the pieces I do. Not a lot of thoughts to process. Just mount it and go! Great job, my friend! I'm glad you have something like this to keep you busy while you heal. And I know your smarter than me viewers are getting a lot out of your tutelage. I must say, I'll sure be glad when you can get back in the shop and I can enjoy your turning videos once again! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Well thank you Phil. In grade school I was good in math and wood shop. Not all that good in the rest of them for sure. I was good in the shop and drafting classes because I really liked them. Everything else I am kind of dumb LOL. You my friend are great with everything you choose to do. By far and I know everyone will agree the most relaxed and easiest to watch wood turner around. I will be happy to trade a few geometry problems for some of that LOL Ser Seriously I truly believe that we can be good at what we love. I just wish I loved to just sit around and wish I could be in the shop 😫😢😉 I will know in 3 weeks if they will let me stand on that foot. Meanwhile I have stopped feeling sorry for myself with all the tragedy that this storm has caused people. Thanks my friend, Gary

[@s.l.makuka9219]

My two favorite wood turners on all of KZbin! Both of you are so talented and gifted, yet you generously share your knowledge with the rest of us turners and inspire us to improve our skills. Thank you both for all you do for us, both in and out of the shop! Speedy recovery Gary and thank you for this introduction to WOODTurner PRO (of which I unaware before this video!). And thank you, Phil, for your excellent turning videos and gifted instructions and techniques! Gentlemen and Craftsmen both! Thank you.

Nice program. Hope your foot is getting better. Don

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Donald. It is getting much better a far as pain goes. Three more weeks to see if I will be able to start putting weight on it. Thanks for asking, Gary

[@alinmayerthorpe7801]

Thanks Gary for explaining the easy way to make a feature ring and I did not know you could move the features you make from lamination pro to woodturner pro! I don't have lamination pro on my computer although I may have it on my old computer which is so slow I don't use it anymore! So I will be looking to get it and installing it on my newer computer so I can practice this! Keep up the good work and I hope the foot heals fast so you can get back to what you really love! Cheers Al

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Al. You should be able to move it to a new computer without needing to buy it. If you have the license. file it will be easy. If you do not I am sure Lloyd saves all that information. Just let him know. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MarklTucson]

Looks like a very powerful program suite. Can it also be used for laminated end grain patterns?

[@ThePapa1947]

I do not see why not. People use it for table tops and even have seen for the face of electric guitars. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@gregs5744]

Gary. Many thanks for your videos and hope you’re fully back on your feet soon. Of the suite of this software, which of the 4 components do you use to create the projects you show? Do I need the “Everything Suite” or something less? I just don’t want to order something more or less than needed. Thanks!

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Greg, the one I use most is Woodturner Pro. I also use Lamination Pro. I bought the package which is reduced a lot. I would recommend Woodturner Pro and Lamination Pro. The 3D Design should come free with Woodturner Pro. Segment Pro is easy and comes with lots of free designs. I feel I have more control using Woodturner Pro. My self I would get them all. Seems like a good savings. Hope this helps.

Not sure how I missed this one, Gary. Pretty interesting stuff. But I'm a cheapskate. LOL

Very nice. Are you doing a vid on turning this into a segment ring next? Im interested in how you handle these short sections at the saw.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gary. Yes at some point I will make a bowl with the feature ring. But I still have some time before I am able to stand on my right foot. The little sections will be very easy to do. Gary

Chatke-kok apparently is maybe a variety of redheart.

[@ThePapa1947]

Could be. I am happy I could even tell it was red. Reds and browns mess with my minor color blindness.

[@stuartscott9646]

I have a similar problem, only with brown and green. I can tell the dirt is brown, and grass is green, but the old Carhart work clothes throw me for a loop.

Thanks for sharing this with us Gary . 3 weeks isn't to bad of a wait . We hope you are healing nicely and be back at the lathe soon .
