Open Segment Woodturning, A Third method for assembly and some turning

This video presents the SegEasy Plate method and the Segment Stomper for on/off lathe construction - another way!
Also some tips on turning open segment vessels.
SegEasy places are available from: www.segeasy.com
The Segment Stomper is available from: www.woodturnerpro.com

I recently purchased a Stomper and 2 of the Segway plates. I have been thinking of ways to mount the plates and Stomper! When I saw how you used yours I was so excited! Thanks.

Thanks for this série of 3 videos about segmented turning. For me this is a new area of expertise which seems not easy to master. This opens a door on a lot of opportunity. Thanks again for your detailed explanations. Regards.

Thinking of purchasing the Seg-Easy Plates For Open-Segmented Vessels, but would like to see video or get help on for example the turning you are doing in this video , how many doffertn plates were used to do this. If one how if multiple which ones. Thanks for this and other videos

The video above is making a 12 segment, open segment vessel (the layers are just different thicknesses). I have chosen to use the 12 segment and the 24 segment SegEasy plates for my projects. As the vessel design become larger, the 24 segment assembly appears more elegant. I would suggest these two plates. The exact cutting angles, etc. are specified in the handout that comes with each plate.

I noticed that the half by the headstock is not aligned with the other half!! Shouldn’t they be aligned for shaping?

[@JimRodgersWoodturner]

When pressing the halves together for shaping it is not necessary that the segments be vertically aligned. It IS important the upper & lower haves be horizontally in the same rotational plane for good clamping and later gluing. I didn't really bother with the rotational alignments.

Thanks! I just find it easier to align right from the start!!
