I'm a little confused I wanted to introduce myself and the only place I see to write anything is in new post. I hope this is the correct venue to do so.
I am new to segmented turning. I've been turning for about a year. I'm trying to do a southwest feature ring and I am having trouble figureing out how to do the cuts.
The following instruction are unclear to me I hope someone can help me figure it out.
Strip 1; 3/4" Holly.jpg
Strip 2: 1/4" Purpleheart.jpg
Strip 3: 3/4" Holly.jpg
To make the 1st Generation:
Cut the laminated board into 1-3/8" strips at 30 degrees.
Flip the left-hand strips left-to-right.
Width of repeating units: 2.75
To create the SW design, make a center kerf that is 0.125" (3.175mm) wide.
Make 3 strips on both sides of the center kerf that are 0.125" (3.175mm) wide.
Slide all top strips by one-half of a repeating unit.
Flip each strip of the SW design from top to bottom.
When it says cut a center kerf does it mean down the center of the generation one glue up horizontal? I dont see an angle mentioned so I assume this is the case.
I dont want to waste material so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Luke Rogers
