This whole project was extremely well executed, Gary. Easy to follow, perfectly planned and turned with an exceptional finish. No one could do it better! Another masterpiece, professor! It was fun to listen to you, especially at the end. The excitement in your voice tells the whole story! You were having fun! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Phil. For sure it was a lot of work but it is the kind I like. I already have a few who want to make it and have shared the information. For sure I was pretty excited at the end. That is normally when I step back to have a good look at what I just made. Easy to get envolved with the process to see it all. But I get lost easy LOL. Thanks for watching! Gary

[@barryvenditti614]

Absolutely gorgeous vase. Your video was a delight to view.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Barry I appreciate your comment. Gary

[@RonnieDevlin-b7g]

Lovely turning Gary that is a masterpiece so pleasing to watch how it’s done thankyou for sharing

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Ronnie... happy you enjoyed it Take care, Gary

[@dmaschy599]

Sir,that is some fine work you done there.That takes a lot of patience.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching, Gary

[@rsitch1]

Your workmanship and your inside tips are. 🎉. Over the top. It’s such a pleasure to listen to you as I’m watching your hand control making your sculpture come to a life of its own. Thank you for sharing…

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bob. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching, Gary

[@Charlie-lu8hz]

Excellant vase Gary. Been waiting a long time to see you segment again after your surgery and recovery

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Charlie. I just wanted to be able to move from machine to machine. Doing fine but still being easy on my ankle. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@carolriley8472]

It's really gorgeous, Gary! I wish I had known that you were at the Symposium because I was there and it would have been so great to actually meet you.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Carol. Wow I had no idea you would be there. But I live 9 miles and probably should have said something. It would have been great to meet you as well. Gary

[@glencrandall7051]

Outstanding. Wood selection, shaping, and finish. Production excellent. One suggestion. At the end when you are holding the bowl to show it off, slow your movements a bit. It makes for a better presentation of the piece. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Glen. I appreciate your reminder on slowing it down. Have heard it a few times from others and I try but I talk with my hands and it is hard for me to hold anything still. But I sure will try as I see that same issues when I watch my video. Thanks again, Gary

[@DonKorody]

Love it,Gary,another beauty.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Don! Happy you liked it. Gary

[@harrykeel8557]

Wow! Gary, that is a beautiful vase/jar. Not sure if I have missed any videos, but things have been a literal train wreck with me and my wife. First I got dehydrated working outside last Saturday in April, went in the hospital the next day with a bad UTI, and my was leaving the hospital the next evening fell and broke her left leg shattered her knee cap, and broke her left arm, all in one fall. So I have been taking care of her and our special needs child. Great video.

[@ThePapa1947]

So sorry for what you have been going through Harry. Hope your wife gets all healed up and all is well. I had my issues starting right before Christmas. You may know I had ankle surgery. That took over 3 months to get around decently. Then I had 2 other set backs. But fine now. Happy you liked my turning. Take care of yourself and your wife my friend, Gary

[@harrykeel8557]

Thanks, glad you are better. You know things happen in life and we either run and hide or meet things head on, and like I have dine in the past just put my head down and and meet the challenges as they come along. I will be so glad Tina's leg gets to where she can start putting weight on it, as she has been bed bound since everything happened. You stay well and as always I learned a lot on this video.

[@54lespaul3]

Hi Gary. So glad to see you doing a segmented turning! It’s a spectacular one to boot! Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Rick. I know it was sure time for me to do it. Happy you liked it my friend, Gary

[@GeraldJensen]

Nice piece and good presentation! When I am doing 2 or 3 piece turnings, I mask the insides where the glue joint will be and trim the masking tape with an Exacto knife. That catches any glue squeeze out and I can pull the tape out with a set of those long hemostats from Harbor Freight.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gerald and thanks for the great tip. Gary

[@mpktrucker]

Absolutely beautiful, I am in awe of your work …

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much for your comments. They are much appreciated. Gary

[@DickVaughan-t6k]

Beautiful urn. I really enjoyed how you put the rings together so you could blend them together more easily. Actually watched the video with my wife. At the end she just said "hmmm". I interpret that to mean something just got added to the project list. Thanks for that.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Garth. When I brought it in my wife loved the vase and was looking for some dry flowers to put in it. You best get busy LOL Gary

[@ridgebackrhodesian]

Beautiful piece indeed.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you kindly!

[@steve-ip1cd]

Another masterpiece, thanks for the videos! You're giving me some really good ideas with the fixtures you made. I like the piece of wood that you placed on the other side of your table saw blade.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Steve. The ramp is really helpful to keep the small pieces away from the blade. Now and then they build up but easy enough to take care of that. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jackthompson5092]

Very beautiful Gary.

[@ThePapa1947]

Many thanks Jack. I appreciate you watching. Gary

[@laurazakrzewski]

Very beautiful vase Gary!! Love it.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks a bunch Laura! I really enjoyed making this one. Take care, Gary

[@RichOstermeier]

[@ThePapa1947]

Many thanks Rich I appreciate you watching and commenting, Gary

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Morning Gary, That is just wonderful. All the segments in the feature ring line up perfectly which is a testament to your skill in segmenting. I love the final piece and all the woods compliment each other. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Huw. I really think the Cherry sets the whole thing off. I got it at a moving sale and was kind of a beat up looking board. I barely had enough to do this piece just trying to avoid small cracks in it. You just never know. Hwyl, Gary

[@chrisgriego549]

beautiful

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Chris. Happy you liked it. Gary

[@dalekuhlman1009]

That’s extremely beautiful. Great work sir. I truly enjoy watching you create.

[@ThePapa1947]

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

[@jarmstrong2843]

That's a humdinger segmented wood turning, Gary! Truly a work of art coming from those hands of yours. I am sure the Boss will enjoy putting it up on a shelf inside your home.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks John. Yup she has it right out in the open on a shelf right now. Now if I can find some more cherry like that I have something else planned. They have a good choice at Crosscut Hardwoods so a trip is in order. Gary

[@garthkeck2003]

Very beautiful, Gary. It is just amazing how you can do this. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Garth I appreciate your comment. Gary

[@rambladesmanmoe6291]

Boy Gary. I’d love to come up and spend a couple months working under you. Your skills and know how should be passed on. Beautiful piece.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. I do my best to share how I do things. That might work out as I am in the process of tryiing to straighten up my shop LOL Thanks for watching, Gary

[@skipflorey2511]

Gary, very good video! I really like the step by step demonstration. I’ve not used an alignment cone as you’ve done. Excellent hint. I assume that you 3D printed it. How does it attach to the live. The finished vase is beautiful, and that feature ring is awesome!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Skip. Yes I did 3D print them and they thread on to the live center. Mine has 3/4 10 threads. Happy you liked the video my friend, Gary

[@ianm6891]

Thx Gary, your segmented turnings are my favorite. Really appreciate the how-to info you provide. Really looking forward to doing some of these once my leg lets me stand for extended periods. Question, what do you do with all your creations? My wife only wants to keep a few. Still working to make a consistent design that holds water safely she can use as a live flower vase. Looking forward to more segmented creations.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ian. Happy you enjoy my videos. So my turning just stack up here. Almost any flat surface. Been giving some away. Just do not want to get into selling. That has to be approved by the wife. She would like to keep them all. This one is not going anywhere. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@migoblue]

Beautiful job! Did you have to take any additional precautions to prevent staining of the maple by the adjacent padauk?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. I normally spray a light coat of lacquer to prevent bleeding. I did some testing with the wipe on poly and it did not bleed so I skipped the spray lacquer. Thanks for the question. Gary

[@mikesimmons7539]

What a great piece of art and craftsman ship , enjoyed .

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Mike! I appreciate your comments. Gary

[@kenshelley7780]

Was your profession a pattern maker?

[@ThePapa1947]

Yes it sure was Ken. I retired 12 years ago. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jamescollins798]

I am in complete agreement with Tim. Your mastery of segmented turning and your eye for design always impresses. Thanks, Gary, for another great video.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much James I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching, Gary

[@RoundTownWithMike]

HELLO SIR! I have a question for you. (Sorry this might be a long comment). I am relatively new to turning. This is a tenon vs. mortise question. It seems like a lot of people use a mortise when turning and then have the chance to insert a wooden or metal "pog" or disk into the mortise with their logo on it. I like this idea. Others use a tenon and part it off and hand finish it. This method restricts you to using a method like laser etching or burning a brand into the piece for a logo. Regardless, Is there a best way? I know it depends on wood gran and hardness, but do you have any thoughts? I would prefer to use a mortise but it seems like a tenon has a stronger hold in the chuck. Thoughts?

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Mike, Well there is no best way as they both have and advantage. I have laser engraved a recess while on the lathe before turning it around. They both can be strong enough depending on the size. For a recess on a heavier piece I like to have plenty of stock outside the recess. But most of the time I will use a tenon. Sometimes I hot glue a tenon onto the bottom and then turn it. Not sure that helps much because I will use all those methods. Gary

[@RoundTownWithMike]

@@ThePapa1947 Thank you Sir! I love your channel! I learn a lot from you!

[@RandallLucas-t3l]

Question? On your segment cutting sled wouldn't you get the same cut if you just turned the board over?

[@ThePapa1947]

It is possible to turn it over on my sled but I would have to make sure it was the exact angle needed to the blade. With a wedgie sled the wedge takes care of that and if it is not a perfect angle to the blade it does not matter. Also using the same side of the board you only need one side to be perfectly flat. Hope that helps, Gary

[@Bramsshed1913]

An incredible piece of work that just takes segmenting to another level .A superb vase Gary, cheers ,Bram.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Bram I appreciate your comments. Gary

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary, Thank You Cherry, Paduke, Maple, Yellow Heart, Walnut... U R back to your confuse-a-Tuffy projects... EXCELLANT GARY and very much appreciated. I was thinking how much thought and time you have invested in elaborate projects like this. One small mistake early on could ruin the entire piece? Beautiful work Gary and until next time.... TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much TM. Yes a lot of work. Doing the last cuts down in the top opening means I do not drink coffee for at least 3 hours before doing it LOL. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@janeoverby2151]

I think that is just about your best one yet! Absolutely STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!!!! Gary, you are a true artist mathematician!

[@bobbyshelton8781]

As always, a great job. Beautiful work, now I have another turning idea 💡. Thank you so much for all you do for us. On the tail stock cone, what angle did you use when you printed it. Again, THANK YOU.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Bobby. Not sure what the angle actually is. I made it 4 inches in diameter and 1 5/8 inch tall on the big one. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@kimseyjustkimsey5256]

Nicely done Gary looks Amazing! Very Beautiful vase!👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Kimsey. Happy you liked it Take care, Gary

[@tuffymartinez]

Just had a thought Gary... 4th of July is coming up and made me think. Would it be possible to make a bowl in the same way with a American flag? The grain giving it the appearance of movement, ha?...TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Wonderful idea TM and I have thought about it. Time wise it will not work out. A lot of work to get it done correctly. It would have to be perfect before I made our flag. Means too much to me. Gary

[@vanmatthews8857]

Gary, this is just beautiful work. I’ve been out of the country for two weeks and came back to this most wonderful video. I don’t know if you share the plans, but I am certainly thinking of making one of these myself. It is great. I do have the software that I purchased years ago and enjoy working with it. I have spoken with Lloyd several times and have enjoyed working with him as well. If you would share the plans, that would be wonderful. Thank you again, Van.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Van and welcome back from your trip. If you send me an email I will send you the file. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@lesstiglet1241]

You, Sir, are the master of segments. I just love this. And I loved watching your design come to fruition. What a beautiful piece of technical art! Very nicely done! 👏

[@ThePapa1947]

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

[@DaveBalfanz]

Very nice Gary. You picked a very pretty combination of woods. My supplier can no longer get yellowheart so I'm hoarding what I have left. This would be a very good use for it.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dave. This was the last of Yellow Heart I had and none around anymore. I needed more for a different turning but I went ahead and used it here. Osage Orange is a good substitute but hard to find around here. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@UPwoodturner]

Thanks Gary, I like the shape and how you did the feature ring. Great work.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Dwight I appreciate you watching and commenting, Gary

[@tombecraft699]

This inspired me. This week I finished my first segmented bowl after creating some segmenting jigs. Gary, your videos have given me the confidence to play around with designs. I’ve been borrowing some of your techniques. Haven’t used the cone. But am going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Tom. Happy you are having fun doing segments and making jigs. If you want to try some more advanced ones I am happy to share my designs and cutting list. Gary

[@williamellis8993]

Absolutely beautiful, Gary. My head is still spinning after seeing all of the steps involved. Did you see Alan Stratton at the symposium? Any other KZbinrs? Bill

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Bill. I did see Alan but did not get a chance to talk with him. I did talk with Carl Jacobson and LLyod Johnson. Lloyd is the one who came up with Woodturner Pro. All 3 of them are from the Portland area and live pretty close to me. Although Alan has moved to Utah. I first met Carl before I knew who he was. I bought his very old Delta lathe and then found out about KZbin. I rebuilt the lathe and never used it. Bought a much bigger one. Lloyd came to my house after I had ankle surgery. He wanted to bounce a few ideas he has for a new part in WoodTurner Pro. It was a nice visit. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@barryerdman6285]

I really love your work and the way you video it. Your patience in preparation. I like the humble way you show off. “This is a disc sander I built…” How many ways have you reconfigured your wedgie sleds or how many sleds have you made?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Barry. I built the disk sander when I was still an apprentice wood patternmaker. I used it to build a roll top desk and round oak pedestal table. I could have used the sander at work but wanted one at home. It has been used a lot in all those years. I have many different sleds that get changed now and then. The wedgie sled pretty much stays the same. But I added a location to get a perfect 30 degree cut. Nice for feature rings. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary

[@bruceelrick2939]

As usual Gary, great work! I do many segmented bowls and I copy a lot of your designs because you explain how you do it. If I may ask- where did you get the cone to center the rings? I’ve been using cole jaws. Thanks again

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bruce. Happy to hear you are doing my designs. Feel free to do this one. And if you want the cut list let me know. I 3D printed the cone. Works great. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@travisgreen3533]

[@AlienLeader4]

Another amazing segment vase. It blows my mind how just changing a small angle will make a big difference in the middle ring. Keep up the amazing work.👽

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. The smaller the piece your working it only takes a little to make those changes. A little too much could ruin the look. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

[@patrickmoran2489]

[@make-somedust]

Gary When gluing the rings together, which method would you recommend, the lath method or the press method? I’m thinking lathe might be easier to line things up? Asking cause I’m doing my first tornado vase.

[@ThePapa1947]

That is a very good question. For sure the lathe is easier to line the rings up.Takes less time because with a cone or cole jaws they are centered and you do not have to deal with that. Other reasons: With something this small the lathe works great. Where as bigger rings I may use the glue press. With the smaller rings I turn the ring round and flatten it sooner. There is less to turn off to get them round so there is not the stress of a larger ring. But I will use the lathe on larger ones. I may use coles jaws to get them lined which can apply pressue to the joint. If I do not get the cole jaws out then I will use a flat board to put pressure against that ring to get a good joint. But what you are doing I would use the lathe. And if needed you can use a flat board to get equal pressure. Hope this helps, Gary

[@garybeasley4885]

Its been a while since I saw you making a segmented vessel. Thanks for sharing! Do you dilute the wipe on poly ? By how much and with what?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Gary. I have more planned but it is kind of a matter of time to work them in. I use MinWax Wipe On Poly and it is very thin to start so no I use it right out of the can. There are some say to take regular poly and thin it with mineral spirts. I have tried it and do not like it. And it gels up real fast. I will stick with what works good for me. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@raydriver7300]

And it’s a lot of fun watching you create a masterpiece. I have yet to attempt segmented turning. Maybe I should 🌞

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Ray I appreciate the comment. Maybe you should give it a try. You could do a simple one with 3 rows using all the same wood. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@johnderyck493]

Once again an amazing segmented piece. Gary you inspire me to go out and turn something. I love the shavings that come off a segmented turning. Its like a birds nest. Looking forward to the next one !

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you John! I remember brining in some very colorful shavings from a dizzy bowl to show my wife. She took one long one and had it hanging on the wall for some time. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@christopherharrison6724]

It does look fabulous I’m wondering if I could do something similar with only hand tools and a mini lathe

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Chris. I like to think we can do anything we put our minds to. The mini lathe will work and so will hand tools if you are careful. But it will be much slower.

[@rogerbrousseau4507]

Very nice job Gary! Segmented is always a lot of fun. The design is whatever you dream of.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Roger. I have this dream( nite mare) of using some leftover pieces from other segments. I have done multiple feature rings when something is difficult. Just because it is all set up. Might be the FranklinSeg lol. Gary

[@paulsandeen2754]

And this is why I like segmented turning. The end results are always beautiful and though a little time consuming the result are always one of a kind. Very nice vase with style of it's own.

[@kevincampbell1112]

Gary, you make it look so easy, but I know first hand that it isn't. 😅

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Kevin. The feature ring is the trickist part of it. Especially when I only had enough Yellow Heart to make the 16 segments that I needed. And there is none to be found around here.

[@robertgabel3451]

Maybe I missed it, but how long do you let the glue dry before turning?

I round up the rings after 15 mintues or so. By the time the last ring is on I am done for the day so it all sits all night.

I’m so glad that you are turning segmented pieces again. Your choice of wood and design are amazing. Thank you for sharing Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

I took a break for awhile. I was not getting around much because of my ankle surgery, Hard going from machine to machine. Should be more coming soon. But not a steady diet of them. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Excellent! You have created another wonderful piece that looks really, really great. I am just starting on my segmenting journey. Started rearranging my basement shop today to accommodate cutting, gluing and sanding segments. It will take a few days, but hopefully the new arrangement will make the cutting and gluing go smoothly. No room for the table saw and sanders in my small garage shop.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Valerie it was a lot of fun to do. I have a few weeks where I can try and get my shop in better order. Now that my aliments are mostly fine I plan on it anway. I have a nice work bench in front of my table saw and cleared it off yesterday. Just so I do not have to use the table saw for a flat area LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@valeriehenschel1590]

@@ThePapa1947 I spoke too hastily. Plan did not work. Now trying to figure out new layout. Durn-it! Hope your cleanup goes smoothly.

So much work went into this piece. We wood workers are quite the lot aren't we?

Thank you Chris. For sure we came out of different molds. Thanks for watching, Gary

HI GARY beautiful beautifull. weldone.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Manjit I appreciate you watching, Gary

[@albertdawson6814]

Gary just fantastic. When I glue my segments together. I spread a length of blue painters tape the length of the circle of segments. I glue all together then simply pull the tape together to form my circle. Only my opinion I find it to be easier to put the clamps or rubber bands around the perimeter. Your ideas are always pretty cool. You keep making them. I'll keep watching them. Thank you for sharing

[@theshed1610]

I've just finished glueing up 6 24 segment rings and use the tape for the first time. I have to agree it's so much fast and easier.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Albert. I have seen that method many times and think it is a good idea. Honestly not sure I ever tried it or not. This is how I have always done it. But I learned on how to make segmented rings where the rings were anywhere from 2 to 8 foot in diameter. Guess I should try the tape on the smaller rings I do now. So on my next segmented turning I will give it a try. If I remember LOL Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MarklTucson]

Absolutely beautiful piece Gary. All the details really contribute to making this such a nice piece. I'm really impresses at how you are able to glue up all the segments without the glue setting up -- I have issues just getting 9 Dominos with glue on them before the glue starts setting up.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Mark. The trick is not to push the segments together. If you were to do a rub joint on each one chances are they will setup before you want them to. And do not be stingy with the glue. I get a lot of comments saying I use too much glue. I use just the right amount to let me get things done. At least that is how I feel. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MarklTucson]

@@ThePapa1947 Thanks, that's helpful. That is probably what is contributing to my faster setup, using less glue to minimize squeeze-out.

[@WoodWizardrybyColin]

Wow that is absolutely STUNNING I love your segmented work it amazes me how you work out all the angles

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Colin. I have always loved angles and worked with them everyday at work. So that does help. Thanks for watching, Gary

@@ThePapa1947 your welcome

[@samsorrell5189]

That is so awesome. I hope I can make something like that one day.

Thank you Sam. Just set your mind to it and you will. Start out simple and you can get there. Gary

Yea for fixtures, a beautiful vase, I love seeing all the steps in the design and assembly. Another great video. Thanks I

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much David. I would love to see more of each step but not many like really long videos. And it is a lot of editing. I do think it is important to show some of each step. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary

Another cameo from the Orvis shirt!! :) Great piece! The figure of the cherry is nice around the rim from the top view.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Ben! That Cherry on the top was very special. I need to get another Orvis jacket of another color. It is my favorite for sure. Gary

Gary, you've outdone yourself. We discussed you and this fantastic piece at coffee this morning. I hadn't finished watching, yet, so after we talked about it I was ready for my opportunity to sit down and watch your video. Excellent work, sir! I appreciate your commentary, as well.

[@ThePapa1947]
