• 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.

    Newest software update?

    Can anyone lead me to the newest update? I am using version 1.0.64 and I think I'm a little out of step! Thanks, Chris

    A reminder why you shouldn't work when you are tired...

    This is why you should not work when your are tired.... and it doesn't involve bloodshed! I am amazed that there are not larger gaps when you consider that this is supposed to be a 24 segment ring!

    Sanding rings flat

    I saw demonstrations at the Woodworking Show in New England last week of the Flatmaster and Sand-Flea drum sanders. They both sand from under the work. They look ideal for flattening rings. Anyone have any experience with either? I have a Jet 16/32 which can get it close, but tends to have some...

    Almost done!

    This is my third segmented project. Designed with the new software, I think the first "pre-release" version. 436 pieces (not including the screw ups!). Final shaping and sanding yet to come. No catches allowed! I was thinking o f capping this with a solid walnut ring- any ideas on that?

    Learning from my mistakes

    Sometimes the only way to learn is to mess up. I just did that, again. My current project has 20 rows, and after about 10 rows I decided to smooth out the inside with my Monster brand hollowing system. Got carried away and turned off the hole used by the stomper to keep things lined up! No big...

    Gaps in between rings

    I thought I had flattened the rings, but I see some holidays (gaps) between some rings. Aside rom parting the offending ring off and remaking it, any tips to hide them? I think when I turn the profile thinner, they may diminish as the inside shows no gaps... Frustrating, but not surprising!

    Glue setting times

    Just curious, what is generally the least amount of time you let glue dry when stacking rings? I don't want to rush things, but it seems to me, that after two hours or so in a warm dry room, it should be dry enough to move on to the next ring. Not planning on turning it, just gluing it... While...

    Could use some input

    I have been asked to make a segmented vessel for a good friend. He liked the one I did for our Rotary Club and would like something similar. There were aspects about that vessel, vase or bucket- not sure what to call it- that I liked, some that i did not. I was thinking about adding some thin...

    Native "Free Wood"

    I have been collecting assorted logs from native trees. They have been cut into spindle blanks and small boards. I have some Mulberry, Dogwood and Locust as well as maple and cherry. I have used maple and cherry before for segmenting, but are Mulberry, Dogwood and Locust good for segmenting?

    Finished!

    This is my first true finished segmented project. The stomper and longworth chuck were a great help. In retrospect, I would change the three maple rings in the center to something else. Even the main pattern would be better. Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time! This is a gift to my...

    First segmented "vessel"

    Had my stomper and longworth chuck for probably over a year and just started using it! I'm trying to make a segmented bucket, well a bit fancier than a bucket, for my local Rotary Club. We use it for a weekly raffle drawing - stick your hands in, pull out a ticket... I used Woodturner Pro and...

    Hello from a new member

    Good afternoon, just registered! Been interested in segmented turning for a bit now and decided to take the plunge. Downloaded Woodturner Pro and have been experimenting with the software. Really like it. I'll purchase it soon!
