Bill,

I just saw this post.  Thanks so much for sharing your secrets.  You're previous works have inspired me to take on segmented turning.  So far, I've done nothing but segmented pens, but I hope to try out HF's soon (If I ever find the time.)

You really should consider writing a book. 

BTW, did you ever hear back from FWW on the Humidor?  All of you're work deserves to be featured. 

Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks very much Tim. Unfortunately I haven't had time to pursue that yet. My Dad has need my care after surgery. He's doing very well though so I'll be back to it very soon. If you look around here I posted a complete diagram on how to do a segmented turning with dimentions, pictures and everything. Let me know if I can help.

Bill's turning talent is obvious by seeing his work here. And he has done such a complete explanation of the segmenting process, I hesitate to pipe in here. But, I shot five short video clips featuring another wonderful segmented turner, Don Leman, who explains his approach to the process. If it helps those starting out, you might find these clips to be a useful back-up to Bill's fantastic explanation here. This one is on the cutting technique -http://woodtreks.com/how-to-cut-segmented-pieces-for-turning-projects/42/. But I shot others on; assembly, calculating, turning.

Again, Bill, great work and - great pictures and explanation.

Thanks very much for the post. Lots of great info if any of you want to try segmenting. I now know I waste a LOT of glue. ;D Anyone trying, I highly recomend watching these videos. They are sure to be very helpful.

Bill,
I really love the use of the domino here and the small part holding jig is sweet! I see this as the contest winner.

Thank you very much Eiji. I sure hope It's a winner. If not, you know I'll keep trying my hardest. Last night my daughter stayed with my dad so I actually got to do some wood work. First time in about a month. Didn't get much done but it sure was nice to be back in the shop. ;D I think in the future I'll have a real contender with my latest project.

This is an outstanding piece Bill!  The Greeks and Byzantines would be proud.

 

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks. I just so happen to be Greek & Danish;D

;D I think in the future I'll have a real contender with my latest project.

Uh ohh, I guess we should be thankful you're not byzantine as well. ;D

 

[Bill Wyko]

I'm not even sure what that is or where to find it. ???

 

[Bill Wyko]

I just want to say thanks again for the opportunity to be a part of these contests. What a motivator. Mathew, you're alright.

I've just been informed this vessel was just in Festools Sysnotes and in the company of greatness like Per Swenson and others. I'm honored to be is usch company. Thanks Festool. P.S. could someone forward it to me. I thought I was signed up but I wasn't. Thanks.

Here's the link  Bill.

I must say I'm surprised they didn't ask permission to use your project.

 

[Bill Wyko]

They did ask if  they could use it. I just didn't know it would be a couple days later that it showed up. I am very greatful for the recognition.

Bill,

Great work.  Awesome, actually.  Thanks for the excellent tutorial and photos.  You really should write a book on your techniques and design concepts.

I've done a bit of turning, mostly bowls, spindles and lamps, but never any fancy segmented items.  I note your avatar contains a Festool CT vacuum and Boom Arm, so you are obviously interested in dust collection.  HOW DO YOU COLLECT THE DUST AND SHAVINGS FROM A LATHE?  I have a "big gulp" plastic funnel which I have used with my mitre saw and my my radial arm saw (before I sold it), but have never tried it with my lathe (Shopsmith).

[Bill Wyko]

I appreciate the kind words. As far as the dust from the lathe goes A good respirator, a good shield, a big broom and a leaf blower. ;D ;D does the trick.

 

[Dave Ronyak]

Thanks, Bill.  I was hoping you had come up with a means to collect most of the dust and chips as they are generated on the lathe.  I was thinking of making a shroud of ~1/4 inch plywood that would envelop the bottom of my lathe (Shopsmith) and extend upward behind the lathe that would be connected through one of two 4 inch DC fittings to a shop DC system (high CFM, low static pressure).  I am thinking that many of the larger chips would fall into the collector, and that most of the finer dust would be sucked into the collector due to the large volume of air (> 600 CFM) being moved.  Have you experimented with any lathe dust collection techniques?

Dave R.

 

[Bill Wyko]

Actually you could use one of those big square funnels for the bottom of a table saws dust collection. I keep meaning to try it but I don't have much time these days. If you try it, let me know how it works.
