    Changing a wood species in paint/palette

    Trying to change a wood species on a palette. Lloyd created a new "species" (another forum) and I want to add to my palette. He said to double-click the species I want to replace but nothing happens when I try this. Do I have something locked that is preventing me from doing this? I cannot find...

    open segment vase

    How big is the piece and what is your wall thickness? 18 segs per ring should have good glue surfaces but again, depends on your piece. I have and like to use various size discs at the tailstock with the live center. You turn the inside first as you build up correct?

    open segment vase

    It is always a good idea to use tailstock support while turning the outside. A lot will depend on the size of the segments and how much glue surface area there is.

    hello from South Florida

    If you want straight sides (tube) you do not need a sled. However, if you need to make compound angle cuts (narrow bottom/ wider top vessel), a sled will be a big benefit! Also, a digital angle gauge to set your saw blade correctly for the angle. *This is assuming you want to use a table saw...

    Platters

    Another good video - easy to follow! It references another video using a photo but I did not see it with the others. Is it somewhere else? Thanks Lloyd

    Platters

    Thanks Lloyd for the explanation - I figured it was something like that. I really need to learn 3-D Pro

    Platters

    I noticed there are no plans or profiles for platters although there is a category. I understand that there are give and takes for a segmented platter. Any tips or tricks in designing one? Minimal slope angle?

    Clamping thin segments

    Well as Mike already stated, you need a gluing jig for best results. Otherwise more than likely you end up with ovals and not circles due to (assuming you are referring to hose clamps) clamping pressure. Now, before I acquired a gluing jig I also glued the traditional way. What worked for me was...

    Hello from Nebraska

    Welcome to the club! I have done these types of illusion before. If you are using WTP, in the top left section called "Row Details" where you have ID/OD row thickness ect - there is also a line called Vertical Spacers. Here you can enter the width of the vertical pieces to create the illusion...

    Thanks for the reminder! I have done it this way before but apparently forgot. Haven't dived in to the 3D program yet.
