I had never worked on an open segment form previously and thought I would try the Tornado Globe as per the tutorial. I cut all the pieces then glued up the first half using the SegEasy plate; piece of cake. Put the first half aside then proceeded with the second half. Laying out the the three wood species on the SegEasy plate the same way I did with the first half. NOT! After having glued up both halves I went to put them together and realized it was just not going to work that way. Note to self: on the second half I must reverse the order of the wood species. If you don't do this, once you remove the second half from the seg easy and try to match it up to the first half the pattern will reverse and it plain and simply doesn't work. My fix was to make another complete set of the same pieces. Using half of these segments for the top end of the original globe and half for the bottom end of the original globe I had two Tornado Globes in hand.
I was so concerned with alignment and gluing I never even noticed this was happening. As a side not the SegEasy Plate and Stomper worked like a charm. Incidentally, I used the Oneway termite to turn the inside and it worked beautifully.
