Stan Sherman demonstrates segmented turning. With the glue-ups in chucks, he shows us the point at which he begins turning
Here's one already completed
This is the one we saw in two pieces in last month's S&T
Stan shows a book with ideas for feature rings
Malcolm Tibbetts book on segmented turning is a classic.
Begin by knocking off the rough edges on the top half
Getting nice curls from little blocks of glued together dry wood -- not bad
Curls, not chips and dust -- that's good technique and a sharp tool
Just about there
Top with feature ring -- off the lathe
Mounting the bottom glue-up. Stan's droll replies to questions had the audience in stitches
Smoothing off those nasty points on the inside
Let's get some light in there
The inside is smooth enough for now
Those rough corners on the outside sure do make a racket
From a little closer in
You gotta take your time
Final smoothing
Both halves are done
This is the way they're going to go together. Can't wait to see the result next month! Thanks Stan -- well done.
