Cutting Veneers & Splitting Rings
Meet veteran woodturning instructor Jim Rogers, then dive into cutting veneers with Jim’s helpful tips. See how to cut a larger ring into smaller rings with a bandsaw or a lathe, then learn how to use spacers in designs, which Jim demonstrates as he cuts the segments for a Greek key.
Basic Feature Rings
Use the table saw to create the complex-looking thunderbirds design, whose secret lies in the final set of assembly. Then tackle the more challenging zigzag design, or even diamonds! Jim explains how patience and precision are the key to assembling these segments.
Creating Diamonds on the Sander
Create diamond designs another way, using sanding to achieve the dimensions you need. Jim shows how to make your cuts on the table saw, getting the precise angles you need. Use a disc sander to remove corners on your diamonds and field pieces with the aid of sanding jigs.
Innovations in Segmented Turning
Use a wedgie sled to cut multiple segments quickly and accurately every time. You can even cut complementary angles and tilted rings for endless design possibilities. Jim also shows how to create a floating foot for your vessel that won’t crack.
Bowls From a Board
Jim demystifies the process of creating a gorgeous bowl from a board made by gluing together a variety of woods — great for using scraps! Learn how to plan a design and transfer it to the board, then use the lathe to cut circles and create your bowl.
Open Segment Construction
Begin building an open segmented vessel with Jim’s guidance. Each segment is mounted individually and precisely to the next level, using an indexing plate on your lathe. You’ll be proud to master this impressive technique!
Creating an Open Segment Piece Off-Lathe
You can create an open segmented vessel off the lathe, too, using some handy tools and gravity to assist you. Jim shows two ways to build jigs that will hold an index plate and allow you to build your vessels vertically. You’ll be glued up and ready to turn your vessels in no time!
