• 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.

Not enough time to cram in everything. I have been turning on and off since I was about 15. My first pieces were a rocket ship body and a baseball bat. I used a lathe that was built by my grandfather. My son has it now. When I left school I dropped the wood working. I picked it up again when I was about 40. I got a used Craftsman lathe and started turning segmented bowls. Very simple stuff. Not very elegant but functional. I have been at it on and off since then. About 25 years ago I picked up a Delta variable speed lathe (DL-40). I thought it would be great but it turned out to be not so. It's serviceable but not the best to use. The problem is the electronics. If I am not careful it blows fuses. I cannot justify replacing it though. Recently I have been adding more interest to my turnings. I am certain that participation in this forum will add to my ability to turn out some nice pieces.

Glen, welcome to the group. Take some time and review Lloyd's video and ask any questions or make suggestions. Above all else have fun turning.
 
Hi Glen,
I hope you can figure out what is causing the fuse issue with your lathe. That can be very aggravating. I had a similar issue with a Jet lathe and instead of replacing the lathe or a replacement power conversion unit, I bought a similar unit from the internet for 25% of the cost that Jet wanted and the lathe was as good as new.

Welcome to the Woodturner PRO community and please don't be shy about asking for advice on either the software or segmenting.

Glen, You probably have tired different things but have you tried changing outlets so you are using different circuit? It could be something as simple as a bad or weak breaker causing your problem.
 
Welcome to WTP.
The software is great for planning segmented bowls. It will interesting to see some of your work.

Didn't do that much in RC planes, but when I was much younger I was into U-control planes. Flew in air tournaments, in stunt, combat, speed, rat race events.
