Wood Turning Lets Twist Again Vortex

This is a segmented bowl with twisted segments. I designed a fixture for cutting them on the band saw. They fit so good I did not need to sand any joints.
Makes a vortex design.
You can see how the fixture is made here:
• Best Segment Cutting S...
Finished with :
Minwax water based sanding sealer
Minwax Polycrylic
Acks Sanding Paste and Polish/Restoring Paste

you had me at "I think everyone could make if they wanted to" you then lost me with you jig and scrap pieces. I mean no disrespect Gary. I just truly need and want to see how to make this beautiful piece, including jig. I have no idea how to make that jig but would love to make the finished art. Thank you so much for sharing just way above my pay grade. Much respect sir.

Thank you Robert, the other one I did where I cut the segments on my CNC mill has more twist but I think I like this one better. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@GordonRock1]

Your bandsaw jig is brilliant, Gary! I would like to see a video on how you figured out the distance between those 2 pegs to get the angles for a 12 segment disc to work out so perfectly. Thanks for sharing this, my friend. I'm awestruck!! I keep telling Phil that you're not just a pretty face; maybe now he will get it. LOL! 😀😀😀 Amazing work as always, Gary. Your inventiveness is mind boggling. 👍👍👍 Happy turning, .....Gord

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Gord! Please don't tell anyone but I think I like making these jigs and fixtures as much as turning. Well on this one for sure. I will be making a video and show how I found the centers for this one. Once that is understood it will be easy to change to more or less segments. As long as you can figure the chord length of an angel. Now there are calculators for that. But at work I had to use trig. But we will start with this one! Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@GordonRock1]

Hmm, cord length of an angel. I think I took that in first or second year electrical school. But since that was over 50 years ago I might have a little trouble remembering that. Suddenly wishing I hadn’t thrown away all my textbooks. Oh wait, did you mean angle? Nope, never had anything to do with that. LOL! Have a great day, my friend.

Thank you Mark. Cutting 2 pieces together stems doing something similar to that working as a wood pattern maker. The fixture video is pretty much done.

[@markbahlke9091]

@@ThePapa1947 Hi Gary, And thank you again. I will definitely be watching. I had much this same idea to produce bowls with curvy segments, but got stuck on how to cut the curves so that they would fit together. You have solved that problem with your fixture. My next question is how to cut pieces like this with 2 (two) curves in them. One concave, and one convex, more like a flame. I imagine it's much like the process you showed, but trickier with either 2 fixtures, or one much fancier one. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this. Mark

Thank you Ron, I will be making the video on the cutting fixture. I hope it will help others to make things like this. More difficult than your standard segments but still far from impossible. I had never done one like this but I knew it could be done. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Pauley! I am working on the video right now. Might be 2 weeks or so. We have a lot going on this week so will not work on it till Friday at the best. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I wish I had your pattern makers brain, Gary. This is just awesome and I seldom use that word. Wow, I'm just awe struck by your ingenuity. Yeah, I want to see how you made your impressive fixture! Then, when you turn the bowl and the segments take on curves that were never there, OMG, I think my brain is going to explode! Well done, my friend, well done! Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil, not sure you want mine. I near voices all the time. Hey lets make this Hey lets make that LOL This came from one of those voices and I had never tried it. I just knew it had to work..sure glad it did. It does look pretty cool when stacked and turned. But I have to say on this one the turning was...well I won't say boring but it was a small part of the whole package. Thanks for your wonderful comments my friend, Gary

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Beautiful bowl, and the bandsaw jig is really great, Hary!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you so much Rick, it was fun to do and I have always loved making things like that. Take care, Gary
