• 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.

    Open Segment process

    The technique of specifying every other row to have zero thickness seems to work well for what I'm doing so I wouldn't be concerned about revising the code extensively just to add this feature. However, if you do revise the code maybe you could consider adding support for transparent segments...

    Open Segment process

    Open Segment Design Lloyd, I'm starting to make an open segment vase as shown in the attached picture. I couldn't figure out how to do this design using the open segment provisions in WTP so I made every even numbered row zero thickness so I could create the repeating pattern shown. The...

    Table Saw Sled for Open Segment Vessels

    If I understand your question right, any of the parallel kerf lines may be used with any of the angles. You may choose which kerf line to use when you are making your sled. It depends on the dimensions or your particular saw. When I made my sled I used several of the kerf lines to position...

    adding wood type with picture

    Does WoodturnerPro support an alpha channel? I have created a transparent jpeg image and added it to the species list but when I specify it the display does not show the transparency. Thanks.

    Table Saw Sled for Open Segment Vessels

    Thanks, Lloyd. I was planning to use two threaded inserts, one in each end of the flip block so I could turn one slightly to adjust the amount of friction on the threaded rod to prevent it from being too loose or too tight.

    Table Saw Sled for Open Segment Vessels

    Thanks, Lloyd, for a great sled design. I'm in the process of making mine now. One possible modification to your design - could you replace the 1/4" rod between the flip stop and the stop block with a #10-32 tpi rod and make the length adjustment by threading or unthreading it through either...

    How to be more mobile

    Mark, You should have the WTP programs installed but not necessarily running on the Windows computer. Teamviewer should also be running minimized on this computer. Then Start Teamviewer on the iPad and connect to the Windows computer. You should then see the Windows screen display on the...

    How to be more mobile

    Mark, It's really pretty easy. Go to www.teamviewer.com from your iPad and download and install the version of teamviewer for your iPad. Do the same thing from the Windows computer where the Woodturner Pro programs are installed. The teamviewer programs are free for personal...

    How to be more mobile

    Mark, I have Lloyd's programs installed on a Windows computer in my house and I can access them wirelessly from an iPad from my shop in the backyard using the remote control program TeamViewer. In my case the iPad and the Windows computer are on the same home network but it would work through...

    This is my first try at segmented turning. Took a long time but I got faster with a little experience.

    Getting Tools Together

    Hello and welcome, I'm also a newbie. In regard to a disk sander, I couldn't afford nor did I have room for a standalone sander in my little shop. I chose to make one as an attachment for my lathe. Here are some pictures. The disk and table are MDF. I made the hub from some maple...

    Hello

    I'm new to segmented turning and here are a couple of pictures of one of my first projects. Actually, Kevin's Round Bowl was my very first segmented project and I then made this variation with a lid. Both projects turned out OK (for a beginner). My wife says they are...

    Greetings from Houston, Texas

    Thanks, again. The bowl my son turned is from Madrone (Arbutus) and it did catch a couple of times coming to a complete stop. It didn't break loose from the waste block though. The paper/glue joint was a full 6" diameter. I have some Oak from a tree my neighbor recently cut down and I...

    Hi Billy, I'm a new member, too. I'm in the process of making Kevin's Round Bowl as my first segmented project. I didn't make a couple of the rings right so I'm having to remake them. It should be fun, though. If it turns out well, I'll be happy to share photos.

    Greetings from Houston, Texas

    Thanks! I really appreciate your help. I don't have a four-jaw chuck yet. Is there a particular one you would recommend? I haven't tried to turn any segmented parts yet and started with a one piece 6"x6"x3" block and glued a 3/4" plywood waste block to it with a sheet of paper in the...
