Wood Turning A 13.75 Inch Segmented Donut Torus

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

This is beautiful work Gary. It came up on a search as I was trying to find ideas for stands for toruses (tori?). Guess what I've been working on! was quite amazed that there are a few different approaches to making these tori.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Ray and now I will be looking for what you make. Take care, Gary

Congratulations, finally a HD Digital Donut. Beautiful

I am not a woodturner I am a disabled former Art Teacher in South Australia. I watch these videos & marvel at the skills shown. This is another stunning piece by a very, very gifted man. Keep up your great work so I can enjoy watching your 'work'.

Wow, Thank you so much for inspiring me to be better!! I'm a beginning turner, only 73 years young!!... just installed my new lathe and can't wait to make my first part!!

[@ThePapa1947]

Fantastic Dean you will love it. I am 73 as well. Looking forward to hearing how it goes... Take care, Gary

[@deanpeterson6532]

@@ThePapa1947 I figured that what the '1947' referenced.... I'm following your channel and look forward to watching all of your videos. Thanks for sharing!!

[@deanpeterson6532]

Also.... I'm a machinist by trade but I've always loved wood more than metal, so this is the next step in my evolution!

[@ThePapa1947]

That gives you a good start on wood turning being a machinist. I was a wood pattern maker by trade. We had a full machine shop as well for metal work. Have fun on the new lathe. Gary

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Gary....wow ...10k ...many congratulations..you totally deserve it .. the doughnut is just amazing...your techniques and the glue up is second to none...I would not have ever considered the random design but it works perfectly....this one is way beyond my skillset...very well done my friend....take care...All the best.....Andy

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Andy I appreciate you kind words.You just might be surprised what your are capable of doing. Thanks again and be safe, Gary

[@chuckbell2949]

Great description of how to make it. I just finished glueing up my attempt, will be turning it today. Mine is solid like Gord’s, not quite as elegant as yours. I will send a photo to Gord when finished, hopefully. Thanks, Chuck

[@ThePapa1947]

Sounds great and I look forward to seeing it. Nice going taking on the challenge Chuck. Take care, Gary

[@LisaRansom1211]

Gary, this has to be one of my top 3 items I’ve ever seen being made from Wood & over one thousand pieces too! It’s just so beautiful. 😁

Gary, I hadn't realized that this was a new turning. When I finally looked at it I watched it. This is a beautiful ring and the different colors really work well for this. I enjoyed watching your video on this.

Thank you Richard it was fun to do and I am happy you enjoyed it! Take care, Gary

[@StuffUCanMake]

Thank you for teaching me two clamping techniques I was not aware of before: 1) the wood/rope clamp contraption and 2) the ratchet belt clamp. Your video today was very deep learning material for me. Thanks a lot for the knowledge you have passed on. Take care!!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jabulani I really like both of them. The rope clamp has been worked great for me. Take care my friend, Gary

And you Gary for sharing your fantastic skills

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@gregj2647]

Great job. I loved the jig you made to insure the donut stayed round. I made one last year and that jig would have been very helpful. I’ll have to remember it for my next donut. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Greg. This was the first I made this way. I have done them as regular segments so that is not problem keeping it round. So when I did this one I had to come up with some solution. It worked even better than I hoped. And I did not have to glue blocks on for clamps which is what I have seen done. Take care, Gary

[@tomdullage1531]

That's awesome Gary! Great to see 10K subscribers, so well deserved. I'm knocked out by your patience and accuracy, it must have been so satisfying when that last block just slipped in perfectly.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Tom I appreciate you comment. Adjusting each piece while gluing really helped. Just a little twist will bring them into the perfect place to allow them to sit flat and stay in line. I was still shocked that the last piece dropped right in. Take care, Gary

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Wonderful donut Gary! I think you met and exceeded the challenge. 👍🇺🇸

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much I appreciate your comment. Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

This donut is just plain attractive, Gary. I don't know another word that describes it better. I'm no decorator but this would look good, anywhere. The variety of wood and the excellent, elegant shape, super tight joints and of course that great finish. Really nice job! And congrats on 10K subs! That is quite the milestone and well deserved, my friend! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil for your wonderful words. They mean a lot to me. I brought it in today and made room for it on the upright beautiful but useless piano that is only used for things like this now. It is pretty old..made in 1904 when I was a just a teenager..lol The 10K was a bit of a shock..I knew it was close but then it was there. Wow I am amazed. I have you to thank for all the encouragement and tips you gave me in the beginning. So thanks again for that. Take care my friend, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

You are so welcome Gerald. This is the first torus I have made this way. I needed to come up with something that would make sure it did not wonder off into an ellipse while gluing it up. That many pieces just a little off on the angle could make that happen. The ring really helped take care of that. Take care my friend, Gary

[@randycosgrove3608]

Nice job on the torus Gary. I did one a few years ago when I had a Delta midi with a 12 1/2" swing so I made mine 12" OD with a ring thickness of 4". Pretty much maxed out the lathe. I had 72 rings of 24 pieces. Alternating walnut and birch. Ended up with a torus of 1728 pieces with the colours making bands that spiraled around endlessly. Sort of endlessly. Each colour band circled the torus 3 times before rejoining itself. I didn't think of making your circular clamping jig. That would have been a help.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you John and yes you need to save your wood. How long will they be closed? I have not checked to see if my favorite store is closed. The nick name is Wood Workers Candy Store but the real name is CrossCut. They are owned by a very old hardwood supplier here in town. I bought wood from them probably 50 years ago. But I was only 5 so I needed help getting there....LOL Take care my friend, Gary

Thanks gary, I save evry little scrap but 99% of my wood comes from raw timber dealers not dressed of any sort. Most businesses are closed here and the stay off the street curfew is still in force (of sorts) cheers

What an outstanding piece. Just beautiful. May I ask how many hours it took to cut, construct and finish the piece. This will be a future project for me.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Wile.....it took 4 partial days to cut and glue it up. Probably 2 hours to turn it and 1 hour to finish it. So maybe 19 or 20 hours. I could be off but I based it on the time the raw footage showed me. Good luck on your project it will be lots of fun. Gary

[@rpedington569]

Gary, Excellent work! As always. Have you been reading my mind? I've been wanting to make a Torus ever since a few years ago I read in Malcomb Tibbits book about making one. Then I watched Kyle Toth make one. Their presentation and technique made it seem insurmountable to me. I know it's work, and exact work but you have the ability to make it do able for me. Just like you did with the dizzy bowls. I'm in the middle of making some Dizzy bowls right now, but this will be next. I glued up my third and fourth Dizzy bowl blanks. Yesterday I began gluing up rings for the third. So in a couple of weeks I'll be finished with dizzy bowls. Then I'll make some torus'. Thanks again for making these videos and encouraging me to aim higher. I'll send you pictures of my dizzy bowls and then my torus. I'll probably have some questions along the way! Thanks again Gary RP

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you RP and I am not the least bit surprised that you would be thinking of making one. Your Dizzy bowls are beautiful so I have no doubt your torus will be as well. I think the mystery of making something makes it seem almost impossible. I like to take the mystery away. Are you thinking of making one of the Dodecahedron turnings? If so my next one will simplify the whole process. Take care my friend, Gary

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Gary, Before I type my comment,10000 congratulations. I wish I could put 10000 👍 but I would lose count and have to start again and it would also be a very long comment. Well, it's Sunday morning, on my second cup of tea and your video to watch.................. Now have to make another cup of tea as that one went cold. This is just astonishing. Your clamping methods made it look so simple. Which I know it is not. Brilliant work Gary. Now off to the workshop to finish my first segmented piece which will be my next video. It does not have 1134 pieces, by the way, so please don't be disappointed in the segment count. Once again Gary take care and a huge round of applause from this side of the pond. Cheers, Huw

Wonderful job you did. I’m a satisfied subscriber. Keep going. So that is 6 degrees on both sides?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much John. It would be 3 degrees on each side. The reason I cut it on 6 degrees was I just cut the piece in half which gave it a total of 6 degrees. I should have explained that but I was thinking it would get a bit confusing. Any more questions on it feel free to ask. Take care, Gary

Thank you Robert I am happy you like it. Pick how many disk you want to use(60 for mine) divide that into 360 and you get the angle. So 360/60 =6 which is 3 degrees on a side. Hope that helps..if not let me know. Take care, Gary

Anything touches your hands turns out into some exquisite piece. The doughnut looks great. How much time approx did it take to finish this. Loved watching it..👌👌👏👏

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Hema Rachel. I thought the question might come up as to the time it took. I looked and I cut and glued everything together over a 4 day period. Probably 4 hours each day. Then turning and sanding a part of a day and a few hours to put the finish on. That is as close as I can figure but a good estimate based on the dates on the files of my video. Thanks again for your wonderful comments. Gary
