New Open Segment Construction Method

I don’t mind either way.. long or a series.. I won’t have much use for it but my good friend Alan Adlem… from the spiral jig… would like to know how to do the segmented turning.. I am sure he would would appreciate it..

Mike, post nit the easiest way on you. One long post is good, but several short ones might make it easier for you to do.

Shorter posts in a series might be the easiest for you . But either way, I’m in.

Anxiously awaiting this blog.
A series would be easiest for you,
doesn’t matter to me either way.
If you need to take care of things around the house
and your recovering wife,
I think she takes priority,
we understand totally.
Don’t feel pressured, we can wait….

Thanks everyone for your input. I actually prefer to do it in one go. I am hoping to post it tonight if I can get the turning finished. I will be fun to work on as I sit in my Lazyboy chair this evening with my laptop in front of the fire.I only have about one hour’s more work on ithe turning, so if it suits the missus I will do it this afternoon. I’m really looking forward to sharing this experience with you, both the positive and negative aspects.

I don’t even own a lathe yet, but it is definitely on my wish list. I actually learned the rudiments in 8th grade shops classes, and I always wanted to do it again. So I look on longingly, even though I can’t participate…yet. One of these days I will get serious about buying a lathe. But I still have a jointer and planer in their boxes, so it doesn’t make much sense to get another box I can’t open. On the flip side, right now the wife is still excited that I may make a piece of furniture or a decorative doo-dad that she can use and perhaps specify…it is still a woodworker’s honeymoon of sorts, so I will have to gauge the the proper moment. Think I will ask about what to buy when that moment arrives….....in the meantime…just watching what you guys do with a lathe is fun.
