• 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.

    Wood selection advice

    I typically use maple, walnut, Wenge, Purple Heart, yellow heart, bubinga, padauk and more recently bloodwood and Osage orange although limited with these latter two as I have to get them sent to UK from USA (very expensive). I have found that padauk does bleed its colour into adjoining lighter...

    Here is a tip about sanding layers of open segments. I always use a circular board with sandpaper attached to sand. The disc is larger than the layer being sanded. this method means that there are no edges for segments to catch on. All that are higher are being sanded at the same time until all...

    Open Segment fixture (Manual)

    There is nothing that holds the index disc and the piece being made other than gravity. They revolve around a centre dowel and that is it. I do not see the need for some mechanical fixing method, and really it is a non issue as gravity does a very good job. Yes, my open segment vase was made on...

    Open Segment fixture (Manual)

    I have used the same system as Tom Lohman to place the faceplate back in position after sanding. I use a faceplate with a spanner flat especially purchased for this, and it only cost a few pounds. Then I made a hole in the index disc to fir an beneath that fixed some strips to fit flat against...

    Segment Pro

    Hi Lloyd. Another issue is that when I try to post the system tells me that I must be logged in to do that, but I was logged in to start with and I have ticked the box to stay logged in. When I re log in the posted is made when I return to that page. This seems to be a new issue, not seen it...

    Open Segment fixture (Manual)

    Hi Glen. The cable is really a printer drive timing belt as an example from eBay "6mm 2GT White Open Toothed Timing Belt PU Pulley Drive Fr 3D Printer Durable". The disc sits about 15 mm above the base. The base has a dowel glued into it and the dowel is sized to fit snugly into the faceplate...

    Open Segment fixture (Manual)

    I have built an index disc with just an mdf disc and printer indexing cable. You can make index discs for as many positions as you want. The one shown in the picture is for 120 open segments, that is 240 positions using every other position on each row. The diamond vase I posted last week was...

    Segmented rows Hi Lloyd. Thanks for the prompt response. I think you have misunderstood what I want to do. I would like to design a piece where a row of segments is made of of both open and closed segements. For example, if a row has 16 segments, 4 would be closed or flat ring type, then the...

    here's a question that I'm looking for guidance with. I have this idea to make a sculpture which will use segmented layers consisting of part open and part closed cells. Can WoodturnerPro accommodate this in its software? Malcolm.
