• 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.

I put a pencil mark on each segment I put a piece of sandpaper against the flat on the fixture which is parallel to the work and simply sand the pencil marks off. Takes about 2 minutes and the segments...

    Laser made segment bowl

    Sometimes I turn out a portion to fit the gold colored dollar coins ( just over 1" dia)the gvt put out( bowl bottom). I also just make up a small plug in a contrasting color that overlaps the hole ( inside bowl).

    Laser made segment bowl

    I use a waste block on my turnings that has a routed groove down the middle a little wider than a small scraper. I mount the bowl to the waste block with double sided turner's tape. The groove is so I can drive a scraper between the bowl and the waste block to seperate them. I use a 1/4" lag...

    Laser made segments

    I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy on other things. I have recently made 2 vases with open segments made on my Muse laser. I found that the creation of a segment design to cut only takes about 2 minutes which allows you to make as many of that size as you want. The cutting is...

    Total Saw Solutions saw blade

    Personally, I've had great luck with the Total Saw Solutions saw blade. The one thing you need to do on any blade is keep it clean from the pitch. I use Empire Pitch Eliminator, but I'm sure there are other good ones out there.

    Closed Segment Project 1441

    Glenn I agree with the people. Nice work. I only wish I was that good. I have tried some different things for the bottoms of my bowls, both inside and outside. The simplest was to insert one of the new $1 coins. I put one on both the inside and out. Another thing you may want to consider is...

    Question about the glue up

    I also use spray acrylic lacquer on my open segment bowls. I use about 4 coats and apply while the bowl is spinning at 150 rpm. Does that sound about right. On some of my larger bowls ( more room between the segments ) I have applied tongue oil with a pipe cleaner. Time consuming process but it...

    Open Segment Project "Interwoven"

    I also use the mid size easy wood finisher for some but I also have a set of nano turning tools which has a round carbide cutter ( tool is about 9" long) that works well. Since it is smaller it takes less effort to get a small cut which I think puts less pressure on the bowl. If you search nano...
