Ozwald Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 There's a couple out there, but not really sure what kind of information you're after. It's not much different than normal turning, except for having to do a little math to find your angles. There's some software out there that makes that simple as well.

duckkisser Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I was hoping for something that would give me plans talk about how to use some of that software, tips ect......just don't want to buy 10 books and 9 of them rehash the same plans and same advice. there has been a few books that I have picked up and kept because they supply so much great information.

Ozwald Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Gotcha. I'm more of pencil/paper guy when it comes to project design & I naturally think in patterns/numbers. Wish I could be of more help. I did look at this software once: http://www.segmentedturning.com/software.htm Never tried it, but it does have a 30 day free trial. Personally I like the layout but I'd rather just do it on paper & keep those skills sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
