Something for beginner

question
Do you have Lloyd's software (Woodturner Pro or Segment Pro?)
If you do I would be happy to share one of the plans or help you do a design.
 
Yes, I have both. I'm trying to learn the procedure. Your help would DEFINATELY be appreciated. (what happened with my font?) I just want to make a bowl. Maybe 8"x4". Maybe some simple design with Maple & Walnut or whatever. It doesn't matter. Form 1st then function. Thanks

give me a day or two. I will provide a plan for WTP .

- for your first bowl it will be kept simple with 12 segments per ring and using maple and walnut.

So how do I find the cutting list?? I'm not familiar (yet) with WTP or SP. Lots of tabs. I feel like a monkey looking at a watch. I'm sure I'll get it in time.
 
A couple of ways.
- Go to View, from the drop menu select Cutting Summary View
- or you can click on the icon

I highly recommend you watch the tutorials. While some are dated they provide a good overview of WTP and 3Ddesign pro.
If the video mentions a featured like grid it was available in earlier versions of WTP but was removed in later updates do to it really added nothing to the building a vessel in WTP.

So I would rip a board 1/2", 9/16",21/32...etc?? Cut 12 segments of each with stop set at Edge length??
Click to expand...

all boards are 1/2 in thick

Ring 1 is a disk of walnut 5 5/8 in diameter.
Ring 2 you need your stock ripped to 1 7/16" wide , 19 1/2 long + 3" fudge factor for a total length of 22 1/2 long

Ring 3 you need both maple and walnut stock ripped to 1 1/8 wide, add a minimum of 3" to the length needed in the cut list
You need to make 8 maple and 4 walnut segments.
WTP only gives you the length of material for the ring. You can round up for safety.

etc.

We could use the conversation section of this web site. It is the envelop by your login name on the top menu bar.

I just started a conversation with you. Click on the envelop to open the message.
 
I’m not currently at home so I can’t look this up, but I’m pretty sure you received a Flash Drive with your order. On that drive is a folder named ‘Content’ and it has a lot of things in it include about a dozen projects. These projects each have about 20 pages of photos and instructions on how to build it. Take a look at ‘Kevin’s Bowl’ as it is the perfect beginner project. You’ll also find a lot of other goodies including jigs, tips and tricks, and presentations I have made on various segmenting topics.
 
I never got the flash drive. Or I might have tossed it with the packaging. Is there another place I can view this??
 
Since you bought both software and hardware, the flash drive would have been in your hardware package.
I have just mailed you a replacement flash drive.

I believe you'll like what you find in the Content folder.
