Here's a diagram for a relatively easy turning. The last page gives you most everything you'll need. If you have a fax machine, let me know and I'll fax it to you. If you have any questions I'll be here today and tomorrow.

Thanks Bill, I saved the pictures on my computer. Since I don't have a "traditional" lathe. I was wondering if I need to order any special attatchments. I will see if I can attatch them. I have the set that is labeled a,b,c,d. I didn't know it the other attatchments would be better for this type of turning.

Thanks for posting those.  A little big for my mini-lathe though.

If it's too big just make the length of all segments an equal amount smaller. Probably around 1/4" on all of them from top to bottom.

Looks like you'll have everything you need. Most mini lathes have a 12" swing, this should tickle the base until you start cutting. To make it easy, I sometimes make a top and bottom 1/2 then glue them together after I've turned them separately. Good luck everyone. I also thought I'd mention that all the rings have 12 segments so all your miter cuts are at 15 degrees. The only thing that changes it the length of the segment and the dark rings are 1/4 inch thick and the rest are 3/4inch thick. Good luck to those of you that give it a try. One more thing, let the glue dry good or it's heck to clean off your tools(and your shirt Grin)
