Three-Part Segmented Woodturning School series from American Woodturner is offered below for your download
|
Part One - "CUTTING ACCURATE SEGMENTS" begins the three-part series.
| ||
|
Part Two - "PLANNING A SEGMENTED VESSEL" discusses how to design and plan your first project. You must have a plan in segmentation!
| ||
|
Part Three - "SOURCES OF ERRORS" Errors in design and cutting are unacceptable and look bad! Here is where to start eliminating them.
My book on segmented turning introduces all techniques for ring, open, transitional, and other segmented turning techniques.

First Project ideas (be sure to read the above first!)
|
Here is a first project to start with. All the information is in the following article

For a second project, try a two-part hollow vessel. The information is extracted from my book,
"The Fundamentals of Segments Woodturning"

|
Transitional Vessels - another simple project with one segmented ring!
