Cool Segmented Wood Turning + Easy Adjust Segment Stop
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- I turn a smaller version of a segmented vase that I did.
It was made easy with the very accurate segment stop that I made.
Smaller can be very impressive. This one is full of chatoyance in the Padauk, Maple and Sapele that I used. Wenge was used for the bottom and the top.

Thank You Gary (this is Tuffy Marginez on another computer)...Gary I find watching you go through your cutting and gluing up of your particular
Thank you very much Tuffy. I try to show some of it but when it repeats as much as this it might get to be a bit much.
Thanks for watching from another computer!

Gorgeous vase, Gary! Brilliant segment measuring device. I must make one of those as soon as I get some energy. Thanks for sharing the idea! Great video!
Take care,
…..Gord
Thank you Gord.
I sure hope that energy comes back soon.
I know you will make a top of the line segment gizmo.
Take care buddy,
Gary
If you find that energy Gord, send some my way ole buddy. Hope your doing fine, Merry Christmas to you also my friend!!
I will see what I can do, Tom! Sorry, Gary, for stealing your thread.
I'm always amazed at you dedication and creativity! You are the master of segmented turning!
Thanks so much Jonathan for your kind words.
Take care.
Gary
That's about the coolest segment jib I've ever seen, Gary! You are an inventor! It sure did work slick and so easy to use. The vase is gorgeous! Great choice of woods, tight joints, pleasing design and a perfect finish. Fun video to watch, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊
Phil
Thank you Phil. The jig is my version of a few others I have seen. I have not seen a foot print this wide and I knew it would really help. And it does not get in any way on that side of the blade.
Honestly I wasn't sure the Sapele and Padauk would work but with my slight color blindness they looked so close without finish on them. But with finish it was just what I was hoping for.(I get in heated discussions with the wife that I am wearing a blue shirt and she says its purple LOL.)
Was fun to do and happy you liked it buddy.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary...
Beautiful vase... no guess work for you... worked out perfectly...
Very interesting and entertaining video as always...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thank you very much Andy. Funny thing is my wife does jig saw puzzles and those things drive me crazy.
I suppose this is like a 3D jigsaw puzzle in a way.
Have a great Christmas my friend,
Gary
Way to go Gary beautiful wood art loving the way you make your own jigs. You are truly a gifted artist
Thank you very much Tim. Making jigs and fixtures is almost as fun as wood turning...Almost LOL
Hello Gary very informative video on how to glue and adjust the rings..I will keep that in mind:):)
All the best
Yiannis
Thank you my friend!
Gary
How coincidental is that.....?? I just downloaded Woodturner Pro (Segment Pro and Laminator Pro too) today and have already designed my first big segmented project (384 segments) and have cut some segments already too. Looking forward to learning more about the programs and doing more segmented turning. This is a beautiful vase Gary, nicely done as always! Ted
Thank you very much Ted. The Woodturner Pro software is great stuff.
I have talked with the designer of the software a couple of times.
Almost met up with him at the Oregon Woodturning Symposium earlier this year. He actually lives very close to me and we planned on meeting for lunch.
I do have a couple videos showing how easy Woodturner Pro is if you have not seen them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I’m curious, could you cut the segments with a compound angle so it would look like either diagonal lines or maybe a spiral instead of the stair step look you’ve created here? I like what you did I’m just wondering if it’s possible to do those other things as well. I’d imagine you would want to make it a bit bigger though gluing those tiny pieces and getting pressure in multiple directions would be an exercise in creativity in itself.
Yes you can cut the joints like you mention and I have done that.
As far as gluing when I put them in the glue press that holds them down. I just let them sit till they tack up.
This is a shorter version of what I think you are asking about: th-cam.com/video/9W_BDsmdEnY/w-d-xo.html

Gary , another beautiful project . We'll done . I want to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, prosperous new year .
All The Best
Terry Lembke
Thank you very much Terry.
A Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
Take care
Gary
Came out very nice! Love your jig works really good. When I use rubber bands I made a board about 13x13 out of MDF and drew rings of several sizes and drilled holes in the rings for 4d finish nails to put the bands on . I put down wax paper and put the nails trough the paper keeps it clean and glue doesn't stick and pull nail out to release band to ring . I also have Woodturner Pro love it. Thanks Gary
Thank you very much Roger. Many years ago my left hand/wrist got banged up. If I can hook the rubber bands around the piece it is not problem. But trying to hold them open does not work so well. I like to be able to clamp them flat in the press then put the rubber bans on.
I have seen the jig style you are talking about. Seems to work good.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice Gary! I love it when you do segmented turning. Thought about that for a pepper mill like the one made recently. Mmm I'll have to think about that one. Good idea with the 3-D printed pieces for your stop. I'll have to get my son to print me up something similar. As always thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mark. Pepper mill would look fantastic like this. Great idea.
I could have cut the strips out of wood or HDPE. But what I did here that you could not see is in the middle I had a place for a screw but it was split in the middle so it would spread and get a nice fit. Same on the ends.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent piece as always, Gary! I love the adjustable stop! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you very much Clayton. More coming on that stop.
Merry Christmas,
Gary
Ya beauty, 280 odd segments, you have a large bucket full of patience my friend, it turned out a treat lovely job. when you turn the Papa on you really never know what your going to get. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you Gary. Those pieces were really small and harder to deal with than bigger ones. I get hand cramps from holding the little ones.
I try and mix it up and have something a lot different than this one coming.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Absolutely fantastic Gary. Thanks so much for sharing your process. I'm going to venture to the dark side and dabble in resin turning, but seeing what you can do with really small segments will bring me back. Happy Holidays to you and thanks for your inspriation.
Thank you very much Dick! The Darkside....oh be careful there. They say you can get trapped and never come back...LOL
I was offered the Total Boat deal where I could get free resin. I think resin turnings can be very beautiful but just not my thing. Used my share of it at work.
Have a wonderful Christmas my friend,
Gary
Beautiful. I enjoy your segmented turnings. The preparations, turning and finishing. I do not have a lathe, but I made a segmented round urn and told a cousin that my best friend's ashes were in it. They knew each other well. Actually, it holds a bunch of beads and string for my granddaughters to use to make necklaces. Haha. The urn looks good but nothing like yours. Awesome work. Thanks for sharing it. Stay warm.
Thank you Travis. Sounds like an interesting project you made there,
Trying our best to stay warm. Has been not so bad around here.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi 👋, Gary, I hope you are keeping safe and well, this looks like another great piece of art, I don’t finish watching it yet, but over the last week or so, I’ve been looking at your curved segment making jig, that you made about two years ago, I made the jig with using the parting tool to cut the rings, which worked out fine apart from me messing up the first one, But I’m sure I left you a message, I’ve just gone back to watch it again, you making the jig but cannot see the comment I left, I’m trying to find out if you want to make a larger segment, is there a formula to use to change the size of the bowl you’re going to end up making, regards Phil from the moulin France.
Hi Phil, I would have to go back and look myself.
But I had a follow up video showing how to get a 12 inch diameter from the same jig.
th-cam.com/video/3tnPEoQKZH8/w-d-xo.html
But by moving the stop to the left and using longer pieces you can do it.
Have you seen the one where I did an 18" vortex turning?
th-cam.com/video/HyqhngcWQ1g/w-d-xo.html
I still want to simply this one.
Gary
Hi 👋, Gary thank you for your message back, I have gone back to the one you uploaded about 10 months ago, about the woodturning Pro,
I think I will get this software, but not sure whether it’s compatible with Mac, plus I’ll have to wait until after Christmas,
I’m hoping to try and start up a little business in the New Year , I have done a small amount of wood returning over the years, so my forte is On, high end, specialist joinery, and cabinet make work, I’m now retired in my 70s living in France , though I come from the UK , and I was thinking of doing some resin type work as well, I’ve been watching Jim at Sprague Woodturning and he has given me quite a bit of information information, I’ll have a look at your other tutorials that you mentioned,
Thank you for your help once again , Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, Phil from the moulin France
Hi 👋, Gary, I have just watched the 12”, very interesting, I’ll watch the other one later this evening, thank you for your help,
Phil from the moulin,
Another nice job, and love the wood combinations. I might just modify my stop to measure the same as yours. At present I am using a 10-32 screw to addjust the segment and it takes a few tries to get it right. Your method lookks much easier. Shoulder is coming along well.
Thank you Paul. Been going to make one for a long time. I had thought about using a treaded rod. But it would be slow to go from a small size to a longer one. This is quick. In the pasted I just used the rip fence with a block clamped on it. I got pretty good with it but this way I did not even have to measure the first cut to see if it was good.
Good to hear about your shoulder. I may have mine looked at after the first of the year.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I like the smaller vase best That is just my opinion. I am having trouble with Padauk, bleeding on the Maple. I am getting dust on the Maple and I can't get all of it off. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much.
So you sand and then try and blow the dust off and it will not come off? Compressed air is the best.
I have not had that issue. The only thing that works for me is to blow it off and then do an overspray of lacquer on. Do not let it get wet. That locks in the Padauk. After 2-4 times you can then spray it on wet and build up your finish.
I really enjoyed watching you make segmented pieces! But I don't have the patience to cut, glue and assemble that many pieces. It would not get completed. Very nice work! Impressive piece!
Thank you Vaughn. I know it looks like there is no end to it. At the begining I see the end results then take the steps it takes to get there.
You could always call it a much longer project by doing a little at a time over a few months. Just a thought.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I'm glad you enjoy making segmented pieces, Gary. I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into it. But for myself, I still enjoy the turning too much, and am less interested in sanding and finishing that I'm not sure I'd be satisfied with the amount of work that goes into creating piece relative to the amount of turning. I know I enjoy watching and learning from your skill.
Thanks Jay and segment work is not for everyone. It is kind of in my system. I would say 99.9% of the turned patterns I did at work were segmented or glued up in one fashion or the other. They were way bigger than this so there was lots of turning time. But it is also the type most people would not like. They had to be turned to exact dimensions. This takes the interest for the artist/turner interest away.
I like all types of turnings and love just turning a block of wood.
I have one for you next week that I think you will love. But it did take....well I will let you wait and see.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Wow I really like the small vase. Is there a reason you did not turn the lower inside shape? I also love the jig you printed and made. Will you sell the print plans that you printed? I also like watching Earle Segmented turnings. Thanks, and happy holidays. Tim
Thank you Tim and I did turn all of the inside.
I will not sell those plans but I will give them away.
Let me know,
Gary
WOW Gary this is a stunning piece, Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year
Thank you Douglas and a very Merry Christmas to you as well.
Gary
Hi, I follow your videos from Italy which are very interesting. I would like to ask you for advice, I have started to make bowls from a table but I have great difficulty cutting the circles, the biggest problem is that I cannot find a thin and small cutter that does not heat up too much when it turns, to me it immediately turns black. I use a 3mm one, can you advise me of a seller where to find it. Thank you.
Hi Luciano, thanks for watching and maybe I can help.
If you are talking a bowl from a board like I do then I use a parting tool that is 2mm wide and 240mm tall.
I am guessing your parting tool is much taller and that is where the problem is.
If you are asking about something else let me know and i will try and help.
Gary
Just got back from a hospital stay for Covid. I was happy to watch this video as a sort of therapeutic relief. Thanks for sharing. I may try this once I get back on my feet. Happy Holidays.
Thank you very Tom. Hope you get that energy back soon.
Take care,
Gary
If you wanted to use this yo hold flowers (and water) how would you go about that? Would you seal the wood? Maybe use an insert?
Its a beautiful design amd I'd love to give it a try myself!
Thank you Blake! I would use an insert. Some people use epoxy Depending on the shape that might be the only way.
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
Your vase is perfect. The jig for segment length is brilliant.
Thanks Ray. You just might see how I made it in the near future.
Merry Christmas my friend,
Gary
Wow, I really enjoy watching you create these. My favorite is the soccer ball but this is my next favorite. I love the size.
Thanks so much Rick. I do like the soccer ball and have been thinking of maybe something else like it.
I do like that size a lot. You can put it just about anywhere.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Gary what a great wee vase it turned out really beautiful, I have to smile as you always have a wee gizmo for doing stuff it great to see. Well done buddy.
Thank you very much Alan. Your comments gave me much more than a wee smile!
Thanks again,
Gary
Gary, that's just the purdiest little thing. Well done, Stewart, south west Australia.
Thank you very much Stewart for your purdy nice comment😎
Take care my friend,
Gary
I really enjoy your segmented work! How can I get the hardware for the stop block?
Thank you very much Douglas.
If you search Amazon this for POWERTEC 71642 Miter Slot Hardware Kit this is what I bought.
The rails on the bottom can be made from wood or HDPE would be better. Or 3D print them. I did that because it is fun
Thanks for watching,
Gary
So impressive on the segmentation! The chatoyancy is beautiful.
Than k you very much Susan and thanks for watching,
Gary
That jig you made that sets the segment length is dynamite. Really really nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Mike. I should have made it years ago. But what I have used for more years than I hate to count worked ok. This one works way better than ok.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Do you clean the inside up of the lower rings at the same time. Very nice project.
Yes I turned the inside before I glued the next ring on. I should have pointed that out but I think I showed that once I got farther up.
Thanks for asking and for watching,
Gary
Where do I start. That is a sweet little vase, I love it!! I was cutting some segs this morning and was thinking I need a new stop, come upstairs and there was this video, what timing, Im making one like that. And one last thing, what a great idea putting t hat piece of plastic pipe to cover your chuck, thanks as always Gary, your ideas keep me going!!
Thanks so much Tom!
The cutting jig is something I should have made years ago.
But all the years of adjusting the table saw fence at work got me good at getting on the dimension I needed.
For segments this is perfect.
Not sure if you noticed but the plastics pipe has a cut in it that allows it to be placed over the chuck with work in place. Or take it off if you are buffing between coats.
Merry Christmas my friend,
Gary
Merry CHristmas to you also!!

Fantastic miniature segmented vase Gary. Well done.
Thanks so much Jack and thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice Gary. A lot of work but worth it I reckon. Great job
Thank you Jim. Yes a bit of work for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful!It would look great with some dried flowers.
Thank you Leslie, For sure some dried glowers would be perfect.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Do you polish the Deft lacquer after it dries or do you get a shine you like without that?
Good question Gary. I buff it with the fine scotch brite and that leaves a nice finish. Most of the time I do use the Acks product at the end. That will give it that little bit of extra that I like on segments.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
It's always good to watch your videos while having my morning cup of Java. I like the segmented bowl and the new jig that you made. Both are pretty slick creations.
I may have to copy your jig since the one I built from plans from a unnamed web site just doesn't provide accurate cuts. Your jig looks much more stable because of its width.
Thanks John. Well for sure the wider width adds a lot to it. And it does not get in the way so why not.
Morning coffee...seems like it is afternoon for you right now LOL
@@ThePapa1947 I viewed the video shortly after you posed it, but later made my comment.
Beautiful piece Gary great job well done !
Thanks so much Jim I appreciate you watching,
Gary
As you know, I love all your work, Gary and this piece is special. Did I tell you that I was trying to come up with a carpentry pun but nothing woodwork 🌞
Well thank you very much Ray. Puns are fun but like exercise they do not always workout😁
@@ThePapa1947 🤣
Cool Gary!! So intricate and beautiful!!
Thank you very much Laura! Happy you liked it.
Gary
Pretty little vase, Gary! Those wood colors compliment each other so nicely, and the wenge at the top and bottom really sets them off well. Of course, the impeccable finish is the icing on the cake. Another show stopper! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Marcia. It was fun to do just like the other. Actually harder to do based on the much smaller pieces.
Merry Christmas,
Gary
Those are some very nice vases. Great combination on the colors.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,

Beautiful little vase...love the mix of woods!
Thank you very much Carol. I was concerned with the Padauk and the Sapele not having enough contrast. But once turned , sanded and finished it worked out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another great segmented turning Gary. Question: what blade do you use for ripping the strips and for crosscutting the segments. Also like the depth stop and your segment sled. Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming. BTW, do you have plans for the jigs? Cheers, Tom
Thank you Tom. The blade I rip the strips with is a 40 tooth Diablo 10 inch blade. I use a 60 tooth for the cross cutting of them.
I actually have plans in the works for making this video.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks Gary. I assume both are carbide. How have you liked the Diablo blades? Cheers, Tom
Yes they are carbide. I like them a lot.
I have also used the Avanti 60 tooth and they work fine.
Your segmented project videos are always a joy to watch Gary.
The jig looks amazing and works perfectly.
Take care my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw! For sure the gig is the cats meow..or maybe the dogs bark LOL
Best of luck my friend!
Hwyl,
Gary
Nice vase! I really like the jig you made. I’m impressed with the many creative jigs you have made and used. I’m curious to know how you attached the chuck to the tailstock. I have seen other turners do the same thing but none have said what type adapter they use. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Best Wood Tools makes a chuck insert for my Super Nova II chuck with a 3/4-10 internal thread that screws directly on my One Way live center. I use it on almost every piece I turn.
Thank you Randy. I use an adapter that fits the taper in the tailstock and is threaded 1x8 . I just happen to have a couple that size from a former lathe. They do make adapters that fit the threads on the live center I have but not everyone has that live center. www.pennstateind.com/store/LTCA18.html
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Those work good. I 3D printed one even though I have an adapter from a lathe I used to have.
This is what I already had: www.pennstateind.com/store/LTCA18.html
Glue us cheap compared to an open joint!
So true Dennis.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary nice work. Is there a video how you made the measuring jig and would you mind sharing the files for the 3d prints?
Thank you very much Jeff. I have not made a video on the jig but it looks like maybe I should.
I could put the files on TinkerCad if you use it. Or email them to you.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I will email you about the files. We have corresponded before on email. Thanks.
All taken care. Yesterday was a very busy day as the rest of the week will be as well.
Hope they help
That's really nice! I finally finished my first segmented bowl. Made of pine to keep the cost down. It's definitely not perfect, but I sure learned a lot for the next one. I use progecad, an AutoCAD work alike. Why? because I'm familiar with it as I used it extensively as a tool maker/die designer before retirement desinging progressive dies.
Thank you very much Stuart.
I have used my CAD program for many of my designs.
I have a Bridgeport CNC mill so the CAD program is mostly for that.
I worked as a wood patternmaker and am familiar with tool and die makers. We worked with some now and then.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's really nice, Gary. That adjustable stop was a very ingenious idea and worked really well. Of course I like all of your turnings.
Bill
Thank you Bill. Seems to be a lot of different stops made. This was my take on it. I like it a lot more than I thought I would.
I have been making fine adjustments tapping the rip fence a little at a time and it worked. That is how we adjusted the fence at work.
But it is the cats meow or the dogs bark.
Take care,
Gary
Gary, another fantastic project and beautiful result! Have you given any consideration to an open segment venture with your "spin" on it? Thanks for allowing us into your shop and watching you create! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Michael. I have thought about but I so love the look of the wood flowing from one piece to the other without interruptions.
Maybe if I find the right shape I will give it a go. But I would to make another jig to do it.
We shall see.
We are looking forward to a very Merry Christmas with the family and wish you the same.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks Gary! It’s always fun to see what you come up with. That’s a beautiful vase and a great idea for an adjustable stop. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄 Cheers, Rick
Thanks so much Rick and a Merry Christmas to you as well.
Gary
Gary, an awesome vase with a wonderful pattern. Cutting those small pieces with your adjustable cutting guide is genius. Also the accuracy you’ve attained is amazing!
Thank you very much Skip. I should have made it years ago as it does help a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful pieces. I like the angled wood next to the table saw blade to keep the pieces rolling away from the blade.
I must say you have a lot more patience than I do in order to put the segments together. 👍🏾
Thank you very much Eric .The little ramp is a much for segments.
What I do is start a little assembly process.
I cut enough for 2 or 3 rings. Move over to the bench to glue them.
While the glue dries I glue one on the piece and start the process all over. If anything it breaks things up and keeps it from boring.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You have patience I m jealous
Thank you Jim. If I could have bout it I would have gotten some one I was a kid LOL.

Beautiful looking vase Gary. Also really like the jig you made. That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing and take care my friend 😊.
Thank you Scott. Pretty easy to do and perhaps I will make a video on making one.
Gary
Gorgeous piece Gary. I think it’s great that you go into such detail on your process of creating your projects. I really like your stop jig, it looks a lot like the jig that originally goes along with the design with the wedgie sled but that looks like it works a lot better and would be more accurate. Thank you for sharing another great video Gary. Happy holidays.
Thank you Scott. I have seen a few sliding jigs like this and like the one you see on Segeasy site.
I thought of putting a fine threaded rod that moved a given amount for each rotation but that is more work going from a smaller size to a long size segment.
I could have fasten a digital caliper to the jig but this works just fine.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You certainly have the talent and patience for segmented turning and produce some gorgeous pieces. Very informative video!
Thank you every much David. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,

Thank you very much Marge. Happy you liked it

Amazing. The chatoyance really came out with the finish on it. You never cease to produce magic with your turnings.
Thanks so much Dana. For sure the chatoyance really came to life after the finish. On some wood you can see it before but not so much on these small segments.
Thanks for watching,

Wooow! That's A M A Z I N G !!!
Thanks so much Marcell!
Very nice. That's one I'd like to have in my curio cabinet.
I do have a question, do you use a standard 1/8" blade in your table or a thin kerf? It seems there'd be a lot of wood lost using a 1/8" blade when you have so many small pieces.
Thank you John. I use a standard width blade with 60 teeth. For me that works best for all segment cutting.
The segments on this one were narrow and not very long. But on a longer cut I think with wider blade does a better job.
On a harder wood you can get a deflection which will ruin the segment and thus not using less wood.
But those are my thoughts and experiences.
Thanks for your question and watching,
Gary

search for ThePapa1947 on TinkerCad and you should be able to find it. If not let me know.
I've found several of your jigs including your Nova Ring cutting guide but nothing on your segmented stuff. @@ThePapa1947
The only time I used Paducah was on a rifle stock for a grip cap and a forend tip it was claro Walnut and I put a eighth in spacer of holly and used a oil finish I thought it was rose wood it blead and almost made the holly the same color as the Paducah broke my heart
That is a shame. Did you end up sanding it out? I have had great luck sealing the Padauk with light coats of lacquer sprayed on.
Gorgeous work
Thank you very much Gaetan.
Gary

@@ThePapa1947 Sorry I was late. Stuck in the Gaza genocide.
Thanks!
Hi Gary, I just started following you. I’m a newbie to turning. I have done Wood Carving for a couple of years but due to arthritis. In my hands I’ve gone to Wood turning or at least I’m going to try. I absolutely love the way you explain the speed that your turning the tools that you are using, that is so helpful to Turner like me. I really love the vase that you did and I’m think I’m going to try to do one myself.
I really need to know how you made the jig that you use for cutting all the small pieces. Is there a way you could contact me or tell me how to do that or do you have a video that shows how you made that? Once again, I love your videos and will continue to follow you. Thanks, Debbie.
Well thank you very much Debbie. That as very kind of you.
Take care,
Gary
Is there a video on the design of the segment stop?
I have not done one but maybe I should.
Thanks for asking,
Gary

Gary

Off topic: love your chuck cover/protector. Will have to cut one for me! Distance setter good. Did you skip the turning of the bottom section inside, or just not show it? Good either way. Very nice final results.
Thanks Valerie. Chuck cover is very simple. At one time I wrapped paper around the chuck and tapped it. That was too much work.
Had the pipe and wanted a way to put it on with removing the work. Simple band saw cut and it worked out fine.
I turned everything on the inside. I would turn the inside before gluing more rings on. I must not have shown the first few of them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
interesting is an understatement!!! You sir are my absolute go to favorite to learn from and great inspiration. Thank you for your videos, you make it look so easy.
Thanks so much Ken. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
