Open segment jig

[@christianjensen9216]

Very ingenious. I don't have a radial arm saw, but you gave several things to think about. Way to go.

[@AlFurtado]

+Christian Jensen Thanks for watching I am glad you enjoyed it and it sparked some ideas

[@SteveTwoodturning]

A geat video again Al, some good tips and design ideas.... Thanks for sharing! Steve.

[@AlFurtado]

+Templeboy Turnings Thank you very much my friend' this was more of a challenge than anything else on this. Yeah I challenged myself I was thinking I was going to let me down on this one LOL

[@SteveTwoodturning]

You did you proud Al .. in fact you should treat you to lunch for doing such a great job for you ;-) ......

[@MikeWaldt]

An excellent jig Al, one thing is for sure....you have more patience in your little fingure than I will ever have :) Take care Mike

[@AlFurtado]

+Mike Waldt Thanks Mike my patience runs very thin trust me my friend that is why I focus on things I can do fast in one sitting LOL

[@roadrunner4404]

Great idea. I have learned so very much from your projects. Miss the lathe magic you did.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much!

[@geofo60]

Neat jig Al but I don't have enough patience for segmenting. Doesn't stop me from appreciating the incredible pieces that I see being created though. Thanks for sharing ........ Geof Harris (UK)

+geofo60 Thank you my friend

I know this is a bit late but that's the cleverest way round that I've seen. Well done, Stewart, south west Australia.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you glad you liked it

[@earlrumble1692]

Appreciate all your work on this project. You have done a great job here. This type of project is far out of my wheelhouse but I can always learn from watching!

[@AlFurtado]

+Earl Rumble Thanks for watching and commenting on something that you have no interest in making that means quite a bit to me.... I appreciate it

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Great idea Al.

[@AlFurtado]

+glen mckelvey Thank you very much

[@jackmaravola2496]

Your procedure is well orchestrated Al. Thank you for sharing.

[@AlFurtado]

+Jack Maravola Thank you

[@lindabarondeau5766]

Great video as always.thanks for sharing your vast knowledge.

[@toddyork226]

Great! I just made my 1st segment jig and need one of these. Since I have a Atlas 7122 with indexing I have a perfect video to follow, lol. You are a mindreader Al!

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting my friend. Ie a radial arm saw as well. hope you have you do have a great lathe any luck on the adapter? Take care

[@toddyork226]

Rebel Turner, haven't bought it yet, it's $100 for that size, but I have a plate. Oh, I have a Delta Radial Arm Saw too, weird, lol

[@tompalmer334]

thanks Al you gave me a reason not to get rid of the old radial arm saw i must dust it off and see if it still runs

[@AlFurtado]

+Tom Palmer Thanks Tom . You know I have no room for my RAS and refuse to part with it. I use to use one exclusively for many years and without a doubt you can do many things on one that is just about impossible on a table saw. I love my RAS

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Great jig Al, this is definitely on my list of things to do in the future, thanks for sharing Best wishes Harry

[@AlFurtado]

+The Little Garden Shed Workshop Thanks Larry. you are one brave man LOL

[@yuvallahav]

Very informative video Al! Thank you for sharing. If I ever lose my mind so deep into despair and will start doing segmenting work, I will probably make a jig like yours :) Thank you for sharing my friend!

[@DanielVilarino]

Hi Al! Thank you very much for sharing this my friend! Very nice jig! If I ever get into segmented turning, and believe me, I am seriously considering, I will do one for myself :) Cheers! Daniel

[@AlFurtado]

+Daniel Vilarino Thank you my friend. Well I must say this ring is not something for everyone and there are many ways to get an open segment on a piece of wood I just wanted to make this because I knew it was a challenge. I think you would do a great job because I know you have much more needed skill set than I have and that is patience. I range around the ZERO mark range LOL.Take care and till next time.

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent, great idea, I look forward to seeing you make something with open segments... Cheers my friend...

[@AlFurtado]

+Adam Quincey Thanks my friend sorry for the late reply

[@TollieO]

That's the best idea I've ever seen. I baught myself some months ago a wedgie plate and wedgie and it cost me a lot of money (Rand/ Dollar thing). So I figured out the gap angle and drew it out on cad both the plates and wedgies. Got my wedgies last week lazer cut and now after this video I can try and make my own wedgie plates. Thanks AL...Oelie from South Africa..

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks for watching I am glad it helped you

[@KE4YAL]

Great video

[@AlFurtado]

+Jerry Puckett Thanks I appreciate you watching and commenting

[@Bramsshed1913]

Nice jig Al ! I'd like to make some thing like that ......one day perhaps! lolTake care my friend Bram

[@AlFurtado]

+Brams shed LOL a bit tricky to get all the spacing exact but doable

[@lennym1273]

Looks good I guess not sure how it works you will have to make a video using that jig...

[@AlFurtado]

+Lenny M Now you know LOL

[@lennym1273]

LOL

[@garymccoy2888]

Al, I must be a little dense. I understand how you would glue a solid ring on top, but how would you glue another open ring to those segments?

[@AlFurtado]

+Gary McCoy Assuming you would have a usable solid base. you would bring the jig from the tailstock to the base set on a waste block. You would glue you fist open seg ring to it than you would keep building it up alternating your patters. Hard to explain but there are some tutorials on this type of turning. here is an options kzbin.info/www/bejne/goSZhaF8jLuLjM0
