• 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 Fixture - Computer Indexing

    I have used the basket illusion software. Agree with Bob’s analysis. A little quirky but it works after you figure it out. Could be smoother to use but gets the job done.

    Longworth glueing

    Put wax paper down before put the ring down. No need to cut it round, just a piece you cut off the roll. Wax paper just squeezes down without effecting the glue up. Been doing this for years on the stomper and most other glue ups without ever a problem. Plus you can use apiece for several...

    Rings View

    As Brett said export the summary to excel and change it anyway you want. Take a screen shot of the paint page and print it out. You have everything you need to build. I never print out the rings, a waste of time and paper.

    Comment by 'Art Bodwell' in media 'Open Segmented Bowl'

    Not an easy piece to turn. Well done and again the photography highlights the piece.

    Like it with the exception of the light background. Agree with mfisher, I think it needs to be darker to offer a better contrast to the text.

    Cutting rings

    I had a bladerunner and sold it. I didn't like what for me was a lack of control for cuts. I would never try to cut rings from a board with it. To directly answer your question, the bandsaw is a far better solution, even with cutting them in half. The scroll saw is good and eliminates the...

    Board Length V's Qty x SEL

    Tony, when cutting a segment out of a board of a given width, one edge of the board is the edge length, the opposite edge is nothing or close to it. When cutting the next segment, the long segment edge length is on the opposite side of the board. So the total length of two segments is less than...

    Wedgie VS Lloyd's sled

    Agree with Bob. I do both open and closed segments on the wedgie sled. I also stack cut so I'm cutting 2-5 segments at a time depending on how thick the segments are. Similar to what Tom Lohman was doing on the miter saw in his early videos.

    Smart item

    I've had one for probably over 20 years, much less expensive then. Very handy for many things.

    Wedgies

    Tom started this idea skipping 4. I tried this and it worked fine, but he did say at the symposium as Bob says he now skips two. I'll give that a try next time.

    Bandsaw "slicer"

    I use a tenoning jig for splitting rings and cutting layers such as when doing a bowl from a board. Not my idea however, "borrowed" the idea from Wayne Miller;) (current president of Segmented Woodturners)

    Unique Wedgie sled

    Chuck, If your doing closed segment work, the segeasy is the only way to go. I've been doing segmented work for 10 years and used the one fence sleds everybody used all the time. They work but take some care to set up for each project. When Jerry Bennett came up with the segeasy sled it was duh...

    Open Segment Project "Interwoven"

    I usually put enough glue in for 2-3 rows. Which isn't a lot. When I'm done with a row I put the syringe in a small container of water. A yogurt container or something similar, tip down in the water. The prevents the glue from drying in the tip for the time it takes for the ring to be ready...

    Open Segment Project "Interwoven"

    Glenn I've been using a syringe to apply glue for open segment work. As you know it only takes a very small amount of glue to do the job and accurately placing it minimizes cleanup. The syringe is plastic tube with a curved tip. Name is Monojet curved 412. Available on Amazon today for $5.29...
