I also sand each row. I built a 90 degree fixture to mount between the saddle on my lathe . I put a pencil mark on each segment I put a piece of sandpaper against the flat on the fixture which is parallel to the work and simply sand the pencil marks off. Takes about 2 minutes and the segments...

On cheap templates. For the 6 ,8, and 12 segment rings you can use mechanical drawing triangles, 30-60 degree, and 45 degree. very accurate.

Sometimes I turn out a portion to fit the gold colored dollar coins ( just over 1" dia)the gvt put out( bowl bottom). I also just make up a small plug in a contrasting color that overlaps the hole ( inside bowl).

I use a waste block on my turnings that has a routed groove down the middle a little wider than a small scraper. I mount the bowl to the waste block with double sided turner's tape. The groove is so I can drive a scraper between the bowl and the waste block to seperate them. I use a 1/4" lag...

Great. I will ship as soon as the check arrives. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of making these works of art as I have. I donate most of my bowls so I get pleasure from making as well as giving. Thanks again.

I also have a cnc router but haven't tried making the segments with it. On the laser - I design using vectric desktop. It is a simple layout with a a vertical line and a 10" circle. You have 2 lines going up to at the angle you want to use for the segments. ( depends on how open and number of...

I made the segments with my Muse Laser.

I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy on other things. I have recently made 2 vases with open segments made on my Muse laser. I found that the creation of a segment design to cut only takes about 2 minutes which allows you to make as many of that size as you want. The cutting is...

Each year I donate a bowl to the annual Alzheimer's fund raiser here in Sugar Springs. This was the bowl for 2019.
