Popular Post calabrese55 Posted July 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thanks everyone for the great welcome. To your request for pics here are some of the trees that I didn't completely turn into sawdust. As far as shop pictures nothing special just picture the biggest mess you have ever seen and add about 3 inches of sawdust Please ask any questions. calabrese55 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son in law just fell into the vortex and has been asking about segmented turnings. I will steer him to your posts. Hi Gee-Dub thanks for looking in. I would be glad to contribute what I have learned in this segment stuff and here is the first lesson...it is not a vortex it is a black hole. Once you cross the event horizon there is no coming back ask me how i know . Below are some suggested links and sources that got me infected with this segment sickness18 months ago. Youtube is an excellent source when in there search for Jerry Bennett SEGMENTOLOGY his wedgie sled concept is a big step to successful work. If you want to drop your jaw check out the Tahoe Turner Malcolm Tibbetts amazing creations this man is amazing and also John Beaver WOW is all i can say. lastly there is a great form $25.00 / year to join but for 1 year well worth it truly some great creators there , sometimes you will get some attitudes can be somewhat elitist at times but worth a year easily. https://segmentedwoodturners.org Here are some you tube links I spoke about.......BEWARE the force is strong in this segment stuff calabrese55 jerry bennett https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jerry+bennett+woodturner john beaver https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+beaver+woodturner malcolm tibbetts https://www.youtube.com/@tahoeturner 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 @gee-dub, I second the above, particularly the segmented turners forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
