Segmented Bowl Kit

[@criticalbill]

Here's a pro-tip for you segmented bowl woodworkers. Before cutting the wedges, put a pencil line down one face of the wood, all the way down. Then, while setting up for gluing, alternate each segment so one shows the line, and then the next, the line is on the bottom. This ensures that, even if your blade is off a tiny bit, the seam between the two adjoining pieces is always 90 degrees and they'll sit flat.

[@RHumphrey]

Great tip! Thanks very much for sharing. So much knowledge and experience in these comments...! 😊

[@stevedoolanTacoma]

How cool is that kit? One kit one Wedge-Pro and even I could make a segmented bowl. Of course, I would have to acquire a lathe and a table saw. Thanks Rod, for the video and the scripture. 😎

[@RHumphrey]

Yes, sir, anyone can do this with the right tools. Thank you so much, and you're welcome 😊

[@janeoverby2151]

I so love watching you turn Rod. I enjoy all your creations. I especially love watching you interacting with Edgar. Have a bless weekend! Wanted to share my favorite verses with you James 1:2-18. James is my all time favorite book of the bible. God bless.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much, Jane! I'll be reading James this weekend thanks to your inspiration... and because I need to again. 😊🐱

Beautiful looking bowl Rod 👍. Really like that Wedge Pro. Thanks for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much!

[@darlouthia5153]

I just love seeing the shavings fly out of the bowl. I can almost smell the woody scent. ❤ Great work as always !! 1 Chronicles 22:15

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much! I love seeing them too, there's a certain level of satisfaction involved 😊

[@richardcorwin1828]

Those were some pretty shavings Rod and the shine is incredible. God Bless and thank you sir! Semper Fi.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! Extra sharp tools are a must 😊

[@suepeterson5675]

Mr H , that is another beautiful piece. Thank You ✌🏼& blessings to you. 😊

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you kindly!

[@johnspencer1146]

Stunning bowl Rod, a true craftsman.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

That's lovely Rod and very nice of Mike to send you the kit. I do love the Wedge Pro. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@awesomecarsforever]

Absolutely beautiful bowl! Enjoyed watching Rod. See ya soon Brother ☕️!!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!

[@millsinaz4220]

Very nice results. Your skill at tool sharpening is also excellent.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much! I love me some sharp tools! 😊

[@CalliKira]

It's nice that they're color options in that kit. You could choose to make all sorts of light to dark patterns!

[@RHumphrey]

Agreed, plenty of flexibility to be creative. Thank you!

[@drgruber57]

Hey Rod. That came out very nice! Maple and walnut; the quintessential American hardwoods. Beautiful finish! May God bless your day, brother.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much! Two of my favorites to turn! God bless you as well!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very well done. Love the walnut/maple combo. Loads of chatoyance.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Doug!

[@robmcgrath5202]

Hey, Rod, I'm only part way through but wanted to make a quick comment now while I was thinking about it (plus I know it will turn out beautiful, that's a given). Being sent plans, the cut pieces, plus using your Wedge Pro is awesome. Takes so much of the mental part of it out. Also, I have that same drum sander (looks to be a Jet 1632, if I'm not mistaken) and, for your viewers who have not tried making a segmented bowl, there's no better way to make sure your layers are flat and level. It's a great addition to my shop, so glad I bought it. Now, back to the video. You've made me realize how long it's been since I've done a segmented bowl and inspired me to make that my next lathe project. I really like the little medallions that you epoxy into the bottom, I'd like to start using something like that. Can you tell me where you got them?

[@RHumphrey]

Yes, Jet 1632, a great addition to my shop. I might use some of that beautiful wood you sent me for the next segmented bowl... You've inspired me this morning by being present in my comment section, thank you!!

[@maddieadams75]

Beautiful bowl, nice little kit. ❤

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Beautiful bowl, Rod. 😊😊 Pretty cool kit, too. 👍😊

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Rob! Plenty of extra wood int he kit too, enough for a second bowl I think...

[@kathrynseaman6482]

Beautiful bowl, love the contrasting colours!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@phredrocks]

Nice bowl Rod.

[@cookiescoop6065]

Very beautiful piece sir thanks for sharing. Have a great day ✌️

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Cookie, and I hope you have a great one too!

[@AlienLeader4]

That kit is Super Kool. The Wedge Pro is definitely on the wish list. Keep up the amazing work. Semper Fidelis 👽

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! Rah!

[@kevingaddis7276]

Fantastic kit. And a one of the best teaching videos I've seen.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Kevin! I appreciate that!

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

That Wedge Pro is a pretty neat gizmo. I love your videos, and your work is beautiful. Blessed be. Ephesians 5:18

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@oldesertguy9616]

That last segment where the bowl spins and the various grains catch the light is awesome. It really shows off what you've done. Semper Fidelis, sir.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! I love that flashy wood... I was surprised that the maple even had some chatoyance to it, I don't always get that. Semper Fi!

[@jnol9009]

Beautiful bowl Rod! Very well done. Thx and take care.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning, Brother. Excellent video. Nice description of the segment sled operation. That company makes it easy to accomplish correct rings. Oh the shavings, gotta love that part. Flashy bowl, looks like glass. Perfect. God Bless

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, brother! Yes, a very well thought out and designed sled. I enjoy those shaving too!

[@timbutler3733]

Cool project, great video. Very clear and concise.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

THATS A beautiful bowl. weldone.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@maddmaxx6730]

Excellent work sir, as always.

[@RHumphrey]

Always appreciated!

[@MikeB0001]

Beauty!😊👍👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, my friend!

[@alansimpson596]

Beautiful work as always, Rod. I have the wedge-pro but it's still in its box. I've been tied down with getting the garden in shape to keep the bride happy so I'm in severe withdrawal from my lathe. However, I'm almost there and hope to create shavings this week. Semper Fi Alan

[@jackthompson5092]

Great idea Rod.

[@RHumphrey]

Not my idea, but it is a good one 😊 Thanks for watching, Jack!

[@paulwaldrop]

Looks great Rod. Semper Fi

[@RHumphrey]

[@TheMessyStudio]

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much!

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Awesome video,,,from Florida love your channel.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much! Lots of good friends in Florida 😊

[@MrGeroth]

That’s a great kit.

[@RHumphrey]

Makes things easy! Still need a few tools to get'r done, but a great basic starter kit.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@glencrandall7051]

Nice bowl Rod. It sure is nice to turn segmented work isn't it? The shavings just flow off. You sure do like your segmenting jig. I am still partial to my wedgie sled. However I do like the fixture for setting segment edge length that you are using. Do you suppose Mike would sell just that part? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks, Glen! I do love to turn a segmented piece. Eliminating end grain makes those ribbons so satisfying as they fly off the wood. Mike is a really nice and approachable man, so I'd recommend asking him. You have a great day too, my friend, and thanks!

[@flopwadwadsworth3059]

Beautiful as always! Are those future thumpers going to be for sale?

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! Yes, but it might be a couple weeks before I can get to them. They'll be listed in my Etsy store. Thanks for asking 😊

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Rod. I saw quite a bit of chatoyance there. Are you still saving all of those shavings? Bill

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Bill! I save a lot of them. I use them for ground cover in my perennial garden and bigger pots, depending on the wood. I have a lot of various colors stashed away for future projects too!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

👍👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!
