• 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 full name is John vonEschenbach, a.k.a. John von. I started to do woodturning about eight years ago. Currently, I am the president of South Metro Woodturners Club in Newnan, GA. My latest interest is to do segmented bowls. I can't wait to use Segment Pro. More importantly, I welcome advice and guidance.
 
Welcome to WTP John.
If you really get into segmenting I would suggest getting all of Lloyd's software. WoodTurnerPro gives you full control of your vessel. SP speeds up the design process and has a great paint feature. There are many times I design a vessel in SP. Rebuild in in WTP to do some tweaking to the design.
Because of the different type of database used by the software one cannot import/export between SP and WTP,

I would recommend you look at the tutorials. They are very helpful. If you have questions , post them in the forum. There are some very good builders on this site that can give you their advice.

Hope you enjoy getting into segmenting. I know I have.
 
Hi John, and welcome!

When I started this business 20 years ago, it was hard to do club presentations because there was almost no interest in segmenting. Now it is more like 50% and growing quickly. Part of this is due to the cost of wood. To make a turning from a solid piece of wood, you have to get out your big checkbook to get a Burl or some other appearance grade piece of wood. Many of my turnings are made from scraps and end cuts that several cabinet makers save for me.

I hope you enjoy your segmenting journey and to the extent that we can help, please don’t hesitate to ask. Mike (and others) are glad to share their knowledge. Like others, I learn the most from my errors and that means that I might know more than almost anyone. :-<
