Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted March 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I started a project using some new software, Lamination Pro, to design segmentation patterns. This was a first try with a 2nd generation glue up. Started with three kinds of wood glued in a symmetrical arrangement, then cut at 36 degrees a certain size and swap ends on every other one to create a chevron pattern glued up. Then that was cut again at the same angle this time aiming for cutting the descending arm of the chevron in half and gluing it up. I was originally going to use this tor a feature ring on a segmented bowl but the first glueup was misaligned due to a warped tabletop I did the glueup on and as each generation of cuts were done the errors were compounded to create misalignments front to back and uneven spacing. As a result I gave up on using it for a bowl and assembled the best looking pieces and made a couple of cheese slicers. Dont look too bad for a comedy of errors! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Mcdowell Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Huh, believe me, you have done well for the first time! And it is not a comedy of errors. I remember my first wooden frame. That really was a comedy of errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collinb Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 At least you find your errors humorous. That's good. I make trees weep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Beasley Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Oh, thats not the only errors. I managed to drill and cut the dado for the wire on the wrong side and had to drill out the handle and fudge the assembly to get it together. Other than that it made for some good experience points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
