• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

My first and only open segment turning

  • Mike Goldfine
It was an experiment to give the technique a try a few years ago. I placed the segments by eye and you can see some inconsistencies in the opening sizes. The walls are about 3/32" (2mm) thick. I will probably have to buy some segment plates to get better results and save myself a lot of time with the glueing process. It was a fun if not very impressive project.

Mike, it’s an excellent job of making an open segment vessel without an alignment aid such as a jig or SegEasy plate.

These projects are fun and they really go quickly. When I conduct my segmenting workshops, I cover many segmenting topics over the two-day workshop but each person builds an open segment vessel because it is something twelve people can start and finish in two days where the same would difficult with a close-Segment vessel.

Thanks Lloyd and Bob. I was happy with the good glue joints. I rough cut the Baltic birch plywood pieces for my wedgie sled today. I hope to get started with the final cutting, routing and drilling tomorrow. Once that is done I will just need to hear from Lloyd about buying the Segment Pro package that was offered. I now have computer with Windows 10 to run the programs on. Do I really need Excel as well?

Happy New Year,
Mike
