It just shows no matter how long you have been doing it (and I have been doing it a long time) you can always learn some thing new. Great video thanks.
Thank you Dennis, I always enjoy your videos, and you always show me new and better techniques. My skills continue to grow, primarily with your help. Neil Davis
Your method will certainly work too. In fact, I programmed an Excel spreadsheet to make those calculations for me. I'm sure some will like your method better, so thanks for sharing.
That method will get you there too. The geometry works fine and can be helpful to decide what size bowl you can make from a piece of wood before you ever cut. Just remember to account for the saw blade kerf in your measurements.
Dennis Thank you. You are inspiring ! Great videos I really enjoy your work. keep up the great job. Where do I get one of those centering rulers? Rockler?
I don't think it was. Sycamore really looks great on face grain regardless of orientation. Since I'm turning a curve through it parts of it are bound to effectively become quarter-sawn in orientation.
I got lucky and hit mother load friend had to cut down sycamore tree and said I can have it all I’m going to do some trading with guy I buy wood from has sawmill I just hate waiting to wood to dry he just finished up a kiln to dry ...
this is new to me...the way I find out how long to cut my segments is to dscide what size bowl I wann to make...for example if ai want an eight inch bowl, I multiply 8 times pi. I carry pi to five decimal places (i.e. 3.14159) and then I devide the result by the number of segments I want..and that gives me the length of the segment I want. I then use a digital caliper to measure the segments and a sliding bevel gage to lay out my segments.
Since this is an 8-segment piece the cut angle is 22 1/2 degrees, just like Cecil describes below. I also state this in the video at about the 6:30 point.

Great video. Straight to the point no BS. Thanks
Great video Dennis, thank you for sharing.

Great video Dennis, very well demonstrated Thanks for sharing.

hey, great work man, you helped me out of a real problem...nice work!
Really enjoyed your video.

I want to wish you a very Happy Xmas and keep up the good jokes for the new year,
To find cut length
8.0 diameter 8 segments
360 degrees / 8 segments = 45 degrees
45 degrees / 2 = 22.5 degrees
22.5 degrees tangent = .4142
8.0 diameter / 2 = 4.00 radius
4.0 radius x .4142 tangent = 1.6568 ( side opposite )
1.6568 ( side opposite ) x 2 = cut length
cut length 3.3137 or 3 5/16
cecil williams Thanks!
Is this for a 1" wide board?
Ahh thank you for this video!!
I didn't understand a thing but I was glad to see that whe have the exact same pair of pliers (makes me feel not that stupid).
nice idea
Dennis Thank you. You are inspiring ! Great videos I really enjoy your work. keep up the great job. Where do I get one of those centering rulers? Rockler?
Nice presentation! Tnx ! rc
Note to viewers: There is an active recall on radial arm saws. I was able to get $100.00 for my specific model.
Are you still making bowls? How about some more videos? Thanks for all your videos as I have learned a lot from them.

That sycamore is some real pretty wood, is that quarter sawn?
@JerryTraegerSmoker I got that one at Woodcraft. Rockler might carry one too.
merci pour ces très bonnes explications
muy buenas amigo, si el primer anillo es de 8 segmentos el 2, 3, 4 anillo de cuantos segmentos deben de ser
amigo que posibilidad hay de regalarme las medidas de la plantilla para los segmentos

Cut to the same angle....so what is the angle dope? This guy is useless. Not giving numbers will not help.

apparently zippy didn't pass 4th grade math. nice video.@@SegmentedTurner
