My Secret Steps In Segmented Wood Turning

[@AlanHanson-i9z]

Awesome bowl Gary, and the cherry certainly made a beauty and yes please show us the steps and how you created them, well done and thanks! Cheers Al

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Al. Always happy to see you and thanks for watching, Gary

[@DouglasSewell-g1s]

Love your work. Yes please! I would like to see the video on the steps!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Douglas I appreciate you watching and I have the video in the plans. Gary

[@54lespaul3]

Gary, I’d say I fall into the category of a looker! I love to watch how you do your segmented stuff but I doubt I will attempt to do it myself. That is beautiful and it’s a great surprise when you turn to the steps!! I’ll watch a video on the steps to do the steps 😊. Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Rick and as long as you play a Les Paul you are number one in my book. But this year my group is going to let me play Pipe Line so I will have to turn to the surf special. Some how I ended up in a folk group with some guys from our church choir. But they are not going to hold me down LOL But I enjoy that old music. It is just some of the protest song that get me down. But being an infantry man in Vietnam does not make it easy. Thanks for watching buddy, Gary

[@GeraldJensen]

Of course I'd like to see how you did the steps! Interesting piece ... thanks for posting!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Gerald, and it's coming soon. Sometimes after doing segments I need to catch up by turning chunks of logs. But I love doing them all. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@charlesreicks648]

You always seem to amaze me with your turnings. and yes, I would like to see more on this type of turning. I have yet to try segmented turnings. Thanks Tim

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Tim. Maybe it is time you start? I will try and make this one easy. Gary

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary... My goodness.. that's amazing... you kept us in the dark nicely till the end... I would love to see how you did the steps... Take care my friend and all the best from Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Andy. Well I started with the idea of showing it but once I made the feature ring pieces and realized this is going to hard to do I decided to hide that for a simpler way to do it. I want it to be what about anybody can do. Take care, Gary

[@albertdawson6814]

That is really pretty Gary. Segmenting is always alot of fun. The bottom looks just great. Thank you for sharing. I hope to see you next week. Be safe 🙏

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Albert and I agree. Segmenting is a lot of fun. Thanks for watching and See ya later, Gary

[@jonmartineau1004]

Oh my gosh Gary ! That is one incredible bowl ! Wow factor 10 ! Just beautiful . You almost make me want to buy another table saw . lol . I don't have room . I just love the steps . Thanks so much for sharing and you tips . We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jon I am happy you enjoyed it. Should be a nice but rainy weekend. Take care, Gary

[@stanbreda7222]

Yes! Do one! I do a lot of segmented turning as a flat board is all that’s needed. The stair step would be a good addition!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Stan. Are you saying you leave it as a flat board? The video is in the planning stage. Gary

[@stanbreda7222]

@ No. I’m saying segmented can be made using a flat board . It is hard to find a nice piece of solid wood to make a bowl like that and I can get many types of beautiful flat wood to turn a segmented bowl. I often use walnut and oak for the contrast. I have much fir and alder on my property and use it a lot. Fir is a bit soft and takes a lot of sanding.

[@jimvorheis1137]

Your 'simple' bowl is an example of your creative mind! Excellent piece!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Jim for the kind words and I appreciate you watching!

[@walshjp17]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, absolutely amazing, Gary! Never expected to "see" your steps like that! Really cool, my friend! The rest of the bowl is plenty good enough but your surprise was fantastic! Great job, buddy! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil. Well I always liked trying to do magic tricks as a kid and never fooled anyone. I was sure hoping I could keep this a surprise and it seemed to work. Makes up for all the times my grandkids just...you didn't fool me LOL Take care my friend.....rain is coming here, Gary

[@dalekuhlman1009]

I’d like to see how you do the steps. The bowl and finish are spot on . I really happy you mentioned the change in name for the Deft spray lacquer.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dale! I will be doing that video as soon as I can fit it in. I still see Deft listed in places and the only place I have seen the new name is Ace Hardware. So maybe that is something Ace is doing. Either way I do not like it as good as Deft. Thanks for watching., Gary

I've made two segmented bowls to date. So much fun! Love to see any tips and tricks you can share. Great work!

You always do amazing work. This time...wow. I really like those steps. But, the finish on the cherry...wow, just wow.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Michael for your kind words. Take care, Gary

[@jayscott306]

That must be the best, simplest, and most easily understood illustration made by segmenting. It totally looks like sunset at the castle turret with the staircase winding up and around. And as for wanting to see how it is fine, I'm not good at seeing things and not knowing how they were done, so you know I don't do segmented turning, but I really would love to see that video. And it looks like the replacement lacquer will do, that finish is perfect.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I'll be sure to post the steps video soon!

[@carolriley8472]

I love the steps and would love to see a video of how you did that...beautiful bowl!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Carol. I will make that video as soon as I get some free time. I seem to have too many things cooking at the time LOL Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MarklTucson]

Really love the step illusion Gary. Would not mind seeing how you do that. Really interesting seeing you show it; from some angles, the steps go upside down where it appears the treads are on the bottom of the steps (for me, it hit at 16:42 but I think it could occur anywhere -- it's how the eye perceives the orientation). Thanks for showing how you do this

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Marik. It is so easy for it to swap direction which makes it even more interesting of an illusion. But I find most illusion I have done have the same thing going on. The colors are playing a big trick on us just making it look 3D in the first place. It is in front of me right now and I swear I could walk right up those steps. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@marciak9826]

What a nice surprise! When you were spraying the lacquer, I saw the dark parts go around, but couldn’t figure out what it was. It’s a beautiful bowl-that chatoyance is amazing! Looks like a nice, smooth finish too. Fun video, Gary!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Marcia! Yes while editing I saw the dark line and figured it would let everyone guess what it might be. Cherry is a great wood to turn. And it does sand up very nice and usually has some nice chatoyance. thanks for watching, Gary

[@barryerdman6285]

Good one Gary. Tricked me. I want to see how you did that. The easy and the hard way. I always love watching you work but I like the segmented turnings the most. I like the cherry and the surprise steps. I was surprised when you didn’t use your dust collector while sanding or the chuck cover spraying finish. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with us here.

[@davejohnson9495]

Holy Moly that was an amazing surprise at the end, and I would love to learn how it is done. You created a piece with that extra wow factor. Thank you so much I really do appreciate the effort you put in to help others achieve beautiful creations. ,cheers, Dave.

Thanks so much Dave. Happy you liked it enough to get a Wow Factor..much appreciated. I will be making video and was just thinking of how to really make it easy. You will understand once I do it. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Sam. I noticed as I was putting the finish on you got a hint of what I had done. I did not want to show it during the process because I was not wanting to make it seem so complex. So I have a much easier method to show. Gary

Awesome bowl, Gary. The steps feature adds quite a bit of intrest to what would be plain Jane bowl without it. A future video on making the steps would be nice, but i realize that is a lot of extra work for you. In short with or without that video, I am happy to see your handy work. GOOD ONE, Gary!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks John. Yes it is kind of a plain John shape but the Cherry is pretty amazing. I had to switch the Jane part because someone very close to me has that for a middle name 😉 More than likely even without the interest I am sure I will show how to do the steps. I spent some time figuring out how to make it fool proof. Now I could just find a fool ... oh I guess that is me LOL

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Thanks Gary. I wish I could have watched this two days ago as I am currently making videos of my first attempt at a segmented piece (expecting to fail on my first attempt). What I have tried to do is make hexagonal segments that are cut at 30 degrees, which are turned inside out (using square segments to take complete a "ring"). Every 2 sets of segments, when reversed, forms a decagon with a fluted outer edge (2" diameter flute). I made the segments as staves, planning to saw rings from a single blank and reglue to create 2 colour fluted spirals. I'm half sure that this won't work out because half way through I spotted something wrong with my table saw setup, but maybe using some of the methods in this video I will be successful on my second attempt.

What you are doing sounds very interesting. I took a look and I think I saw what you doing. You have just giving me some ideas. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@garybeasley4885]

Nice vessel! Love the steps! A video on them would be great. Have you read the discussion about the no fail base including Jerry Bennett and Steve Bonney on the AAW Segmented Woodturners forum? According to that thread the high segment count base is a good direction to go. The step they added was angled grain direction to deflect movement stresses. Steve actually built some and tested them outdoors in winter conditions that fared pretty well.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gary and I plan on doing a special video on the illusion. I have not read what they have said about segmented bottoms and have not heard of Steve Bonney. I learned about segments in the early 70's when I started my pattern making apprenticeship. The patterns we made were mostly stored in a non controlled area that the foundries had. So they went from hot to cold. They held up good unless they had a water leak. We did not have wedgie sleds back then but the patterns would be too big for one anyway., So I did get that part from Jerry Oh I do another no no. I will use solid bottoms on some turnings. Maybe it is the humidity in Oregon but have not had issues. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@gregj2647]

I saw Jerry Bennetts presentation on the no fail base and I recall that he varied the angle of the end grain so that it wasn’t at end to end. I do almost all segmented turning and was lucky enough to take a week long class with Malcolm Tibbetts. Malcolm, who I consider the master at segmented turning would never make a base where the points come together. Eventually the wood will move and the bottom will fail. The best options are floating bottoms or solid wood using quarter saw wood.

[@ThePapa1947]

@gregj2647 maybe it has a lot to do with where you live. I have not had issues with segmented or solid bottoms and been doing this for 50 years.

Hi Gary, been waiting to see a video of you using the glue pot I sent you. I was beginning to think you weren’t going to.

Thanks James and I will get a video on that as soon as I can. Gary

[@chrisjohnston2449]

Yes , Yes and Yes. Please let us know how to climb the stairs

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Chris and I will be happy to show you. Might be a few weeks or so but I will get it done. Gary

[@gdonham1203]

Please show how to make the steps. Great as always.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you they are in the works. Gary

[@RonMengel]

Love it how do you figure out the angle and length of the piece?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ron. Software helps a lot on some of these. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@walterpannell18]

Hi Gary those steps are amazing and so are you how do you do it ?Yes I would love to see how you do it but I hope it’s not as hard to do as it seems or else I will not be able to do it but I must try, thanks again and long may you keep doing it you never cease to amaze me and happy Xmas Ron.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ron. Well I have worked with angles my whole life so that does help. I will share what I think is the easy way but still takes accurate cuts. Have you done any segmented glue ups? Thanks for watching, Gary

[@walterpannell18]

@ Hi Gary I have done a few segmented pieces but I think they were only successful because I left gaps between them so it isn’t easy to see the faults but I would love to try the step bowl that would be a great achievement for me thanks Gary looking forward to seeing the video

[@philiphine885]

Steps please. Really like the segmented turning.

[@ThePapa1947]

Sure thing Philip it is in the works. Thanks for watching! Gary

[@ivus2010]

Have you ever dyed any of your segmented turnings?

[@ThePapa1947]

No I never have died or painted any of my turnings.

[@terrykohlman7355]

You know we want to see the video of this technique

[@ThePapa1947]

Yes I did figure as much. I just did not have time to do a good job showing it in this video. So I will make a seperate one as soon as I can. Gary
