Thank you Gary for the video of making the bowl. What a beautiful piece of artwork. Thank you also for sharing how you made the jig for cutting the segments. You are a master craftsman without a doubt. I always enjoy your videos. I very much hope you are doing well health wise. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family, my friend. Rudy
I'm glad to see someone besides myself felt the need to make curved pattern. I want to send you a picture but I'm not sure how to go about it. 6-2-23 2:30PM
Thank You Gary... Another wonderful morning of Confuse-A-Tuffy, 😆... I always enjoy watching your process and vicariously turning beautiful pieces.... Until next time Gary.... TM
Hi 👋, Gary, I wasn’t sure whether you’d see my reply as it was quite a long time ago, I’m going to have a go trying to make a jig over the next few days, but it is extremely cold in my basement, I’ll let you know how I get on in the New Year, I wish you and your family, a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year , 🥳, Phil from the moulin France
I made your your jig the other day, and it turned out great ! I already cut out and glued up a plate out of white oak, and walnut. I used 2" material and the jig work fine, but that's probably the limit for that jig ! Going to let the glue cure for a couple days before I start turning :) Thanks for the video, Greg
I ALWAYS learn so much from your videos. You do such amazing work and are so good at breaking down the steps. It's a shame you don't have weekly or monthly classes in person.
@@ThePapa1947 This may be an odd question (please forgive me if it isn't appropriate), but would you consider making the 3D printing file (for the ring cutter) available to those of us who have access to a 3D printer (or who can force a friend with one to help out)?
Amazing, I started turning about a year ago and love watching and trying to duplicate your projects. The lessons from these videos are priceless. Thank you!
Once again Gary , you did the imposable ! Such a beautiful piece ! And you really made my brain hurt on this one . I really do wish I had the room and tools to do something like this . Thank you for the great video !
Love the segmented work you do. I don’t always get it but I’m trying, I have to watch a few times. I did finish the table saw segmented jig and it works great, looking forward to making the bandsaw jig. Thanks for sharing Gary.
Your mind is as sharp as your gouge, Professor! I understood completely your explanation on how to make larger bowls from the small bowl fixture. It seems by the number of views this video already has, you are a master at this sort of thing and everyone knows it! Another instructional video that will outlast us all and will be appreciated by craftsman for generations to come. Very well done, Gary! I stand in awe of you, my friend! 😃 Oh, yeah, and the 11" bowl is a beauty! Wow, hang it on the wall and you won't need a mirror! Phil
Thanks so much Phil! I try not to look in the mirror as some old guy seems to have his picture pasted to it. A bit scary LOL I am very pleased with the views but please do not tell anyone I have already started working out the dimensions for the jig. It will start at 15" but keep that to your self ..shoot anybody can read this LOL. Not sure how the glue up will go. Might need something special to make that happen. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
High Gary I am making a 14 inch dia spiral platter I made a precise aluminum pattern on my Bridgeport with a rotary table , I clamp the wood to the aluminum pattern and use a flush cut router bit to finish after rough cutting on my bandsaw, they glued up perfectly. 7:45
I have made a few segments on my Bridgeport Boss 4. That is what got me thinking about this one. Not that many people have CNC mills so they could make something like this. Thanks for watching, Gary
Absolutely amazing Gary, you have an incredible thought process and the end results are breathtaking, well done and thanks for sharing. All the best to you. Regards Jim
Great work, love that jig. I've cut rings before using the compound slide of a metal lathe. For ease of use though your method looks much quicker. (alot less winding of handles) can you tell me please is it possible to make a bowl from a board with 60 degree cuts to equal a 120 overall bowl? Thanks for your time. Happy turning.
Thank you Sam. I have cut them on my small metal lathe and decided there has to be a better way so I came up with this jig. I do have video showing how you can get a curved bowl. The cuts do become longer but it works. As a matter of fact coming soon I plan on doing another but here is the video I did. ruclips.net/video/0zJlsPsNKxM/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Jon. I am not even sure the high schools have wood shop anymore. Except for one. Benson Tech. I was able to take shop class all 4 years in high school even though you could only do 3. They asked if I would not do the class but help the freshman class. When i was helping I could build what I wanted. That year I built one sister a desk, a china hutch for another and a sewing machine cabinet for a 3rd sister. I had 2 other sisters but no time to make them anything. Thanks for watching, Gary
Amazing work from an amazing mind. Could you use the scrap from the bigger piece to make an 8" bowl. Both bowls are super awesome. Keep up the amazing work! 👽
Sorry Douglas I do not as I think it would be a good idea to have liability insurance if I did sell something like this. I do have a couple videos showing how I made two other very simple versions. I also have a 3D model on TinkerCad for anyone who has a 3D printer. ruclips.net/video/GnzYR6y4ZhM/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 ruclips.net/video/3Uw2Ju_LAss/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary
Mama Mia! That is absolutely stunning! Your talent is amazing, to cut all those pieces over and over makes a puzzle to me, yet you put this beautiful piece together without even taking a breath! You are phenomenal! Awesome work!! Bravo! Do you have a website where you sell your work?
Hi Gary. Is it normal to feel some of the joints after the project has sat for a while. All of my segmented turnings I have this happen. I hope that I’m not doing something wrong. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you Gary
Hi Charles. A lot of what cause that is where it is located. Also I like to let the glue dry for a day if I can before turning and most of the time it sits for a day before I sand it. But some pieces will just want to move. The very large tumbling block turning I made shifted and it was really the finish i was feeling. I used Polycrylic on it and I ended up letting it sit for a month then sanded the finish with 600 grit. Nice and smooth now.
Thank you Carlos. The jig is something I came up with. I can put those files on TinkerCad . I do have a video showing how I made one from parts you can buy.
Hi again Gary I have watched as you said a couple of your board to bowl videos and am on my way to giving one a go. Just looking again at this video though I see that awsome little piece that you 3d printed. I guess the first one was Aluminium? Would you consider marketing these? I reckon you would do well. I would have my name down for one if you did. Keep up he brilliant work mate! Your skill shows through on every job. John in Queensland.
Thank you very much John. Yes the first one I did was out of wood and then I milled one out of aluminum. I decided to 3D print one as well and the file is on TinkerCad for anyone that wants to use it. Selling anything like this would mean you should have liability insurance. I trust what I make but I can not trust how it is used by others Here is a version of the wood one I made which is easy to do which works fine. I did the others because I just love to make things: ruclips.net/video/GnzYR6y4ZhM/видео.html
Fantastic, beautiful, amazing!! Do you have a video showing how to make the bandsaw fixture to do all the cuts! If you have plans I would be willing to pay for them! Again beautiful I hope I can do just a fraction of you quality! Thanks Gerry
Thank you Gerry, If you watch this video you should be able to get all the information for making the fixture. If not feel free to ask. ruclips.net/video/2M3D5wst_pM/видео.html Gary
Beautiful as always. You're so clever; that jig is genius! A couple questions: (1) You mentioned "roasted wood." What's that? I've never heard that term. (2) How did your 3D printed jig compare with the aluminum one? Does it wear significantly faster?
Thank you Jim. The roasted wood is just Oak, Maple or Poplar they put in an oven and roast it to the point of almost burning. It is to keep insects from trying to eat or live in it. I think they use it for decks and other outdoor uses. I felt the 3D printed one worked just fine. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Tom, if you email me I am sure I can help you with what you are looking for. As in the previous comment I made check for my email address in my About Page. Or you can give me yours but I do not post it in the comments just because of the auto spam bots. Gary
Thanks so much Gord. Happy you liked it. I just figured it was time to show a bigger one on this jig. Sure glad it worked because that was a first time for that size for me as well LOL. Take care, Gary
Hi Gary bute of a bowl. I am going to give it a try. I say this to those whose think they cannot do it. It is only difficult because you dont know how, well Gary has just explained and shown us all. Try it. Then try a femisphere. Harry.
Thanks so much Harry. You have the right attitude on trying something new. You do not know how hard it is till you try. I continue to try and do things I have not done before. This keeps things interesting. In-between I still love just turning something with a basic shape. Thanks for watching, Gary
I was one of those kids that just "didn't get" what trigonometry was all about and why it was even taught. Perhaps if more math teachers used practical applications like you have shown then more students would make these connections. I'd love to see the bigger sled....AND.... Your explanation for how you derive the measurements.😊
Thank you very much Dave and I could not agree more about how some things are taught. I did very good in math in grade school so much they moved me into a special math class with the next grade up. In high school that slapped me into algebra and I had no clue what and why. And that was the teacher I had. Never explained a thing. So when I started my pattern making apprenticeship I had to take college classes in trig and geometry. My love of math came back and I loved it. Used it everyday at work in my job and still use it today. Well so far I am on track to making the bigger sled. What I have came up with will be even easier. Well I have nothing built but I have a first design and it is looking good. It will need to be tested though. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 it is truly an amazing world.... I can be sitting in my pajamas, drinking my AM coffee, and taking notes from a retired patternmaker who lives 3000 miles from me. And then 30 minutes later I can be swapping questions and answers with the likes of Richard Raffan, halfway around the globe. If only our political leaders could get along the way we do here. Thank you Gary, for being YOU.
Excellent video. I tried my first bowl from a board a few months ago and I got it too thin. you can guess what happened. But I always learn from making a mistake. Will try it again soon.
The video I was talking about was a Chevron glue up that you did a bowl in a board from. I believe that the video changed while I was typing my comment.
Yes I understand. My thoughts were the center section was all the same wood and I thought it might dress it up. I just picked it up and I still like it the way it is and I ask my wife and she did as well. Would I like it the other way. Yes I would and almost every turning I do with a segmented bottom I have all the points meet in the middle. I am proud of the fact I can cut the segments to meet in the middle and look good. Something most people have problems with and say it can not be done. I appreciate all your comments. Take care, Gary
Thank you very much. The link should be in the description but here it is: ruclips.net/video/2M3D5wst_pM/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Thanks for watching, Gary

Great job Gary, I see you’re over 100K views so are we going to see a jig to make the bigger bowls with less scrap soon 😀 (please ) 😀? I really like your segmented turnings and the custom jig makes these special. Thank you for sharing! I just did my first segmented bowl in 5 years now anxious to do more, as I am really rusty and need practice.
Thank you Ian. I did make a bigger jig that made an 18 inch Lazy Susan with this same pattern. It was pretty had to glue up but it worked. Not totally happy with the jig and might make some changes before doing a video on building it. ruclips.net/video/HyqhngcWQ1g/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 Gary
Fantastic Gary. Maybe a lot of people might not be able to do it but I had no doubt you would be able to do it and do it you did. Great video my friend. Take care Gary. Hwyl, Huw
Thanks Huw, it was all about the rotation point for making a larger diameter. I knew I could go this far but that might be the limit on this sled. Seems like it might be time to design another one. Hwyl, Gary
All I can say the math part and bandsaw jig is mind boggling 😂 how you figure out how to make a larger segment just from scraps.😂😂 Absolute beautiful Only made one segment bowl, bottom broke off before finishing the inside 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful bowl, Gary. I'm glad I'm not a woodturner because then I won't have to think about making one of those jigs. I start to get a headache just thinking about it when you explain them. Bill
John I would like to show the math involved in this and the new one I am working on. But for sure I can give the dimensions needed and I think I will have a simple way to do that. Thanks for watching, Gary
Well, there is more than one way to skin a cat with your existing jig. I was thinking about making a larger jig to make larger bowls. But this video shows me a way to use my existing jig to make a larger bowl. Consequently, you saved me a lot of work making a new jig. Will head down to the shop and see how it works for me. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much for the information and the video. I look forwards to making the jig and turning some projects. You are a true craftsman and artist.
Love your segment work Gary, excellent jobs, i don't have the know how or tools to do it myself, but really find it interesting what you come up with next. How's that shoulder has it settled down again. All the best from Lincolnshire UK 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Gary. Well I love doing these and may not have made another like the small one. But this gave me a chance to make a bigger one. Many of asked if it could be done. I was sure it could and it did. Shoulder is being a bad boy. Have appointment to have it checked out. Hope just cortisone or something like that will help. Thanks for asking and for watching, Gary
That looks really complicated to make a jig like that but I suppose all you need to do is try and then perfect it! Lovely bowl with a perfect finish!, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
I'm a pretty new subscriber, love the turnings that you do! However, after I watch the video on making the sled, I'll be heading to the hardware store to pick up what I'll need to make one if I don't already have it "in stock". Amazing work!!
I made a sled last year successfully after going over your description many times. I have made a number of bowls and had a friend make me a tool rest guide as you described and have a parting tool identical to yours. I like the idea of a support behind the board as my last attempt at an eight inch bowl caused the outer ring to break into several pieces. I re-assembled it although I was turning way too fast but surprisingly the cut was quick and didn’t overheat or blunt the tool as much. 😅 I enjoy learning from you but can’t get all the finishes you use in Australia.
Thank you very much. Nice to hear you have made the jig and it is working good for you. I never had one of the boards break but I sure like the support piece I made for keeping it from spinning around after the cut. What kind of finishes can you get. Clear gloss lacquer will do the same thing. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary Beautiful creation ,and a great hand me down for family to enjoy in coming generations. Funny when in our eighties we have all day to do whatever we like but there never seems to be enough time to do it all in! Love your bowls, and clear explanations on the how to do it. Thanks for sharing Regards from .coromandel NZ
Thank you very much and I know what you mean about not having enough time . Seems to like I am busier now than when I was working. And I always had things going on when I got home and on the weekend Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you for sharing your techniques on this. I’m going to try this out. Really appreciate all of your videos. So much valuable information in each one. Thanks again Gary 👍.
Thank you John. Economy bowls are lots of fun. i have a video showing how you can make one with curved sides. Adds a little bit of interest but then on things like this I think straight sides can actually add to the looks. thanks for watching, Gary
A relatively simple jig for the bandsaw, but what a fantastic result ... the parting tool jig, so simple but effective ... overall a fantastic demonstration of how to create a stunning looking bowl ... awesome👍
...yep...loved the bowl and the technical info... What I love about these turnings is when the glue lines are turned away and the wood segments appear to become one solid piece... Amazing work Gary...thanks...👍 Matt
Thank you very much Leo. I wish I could have stayed longer yesterday but things were waiting for me in the shop. Moving a machine out to another home and I have a mess making room for it. matter of fact I need to get back out there and try to get it finished. Thanks for your comments yesterday ..much appreciated. Gary
I love when people tell me I can't . That's fuel for me . Doubly for you being a retired pattern maker. I'm sure you've had more than a few jobs that would bend the mind. Have a great day Gary. All The Best Terry
Thank you Terry. Yeah they used to give me some real complex patterns to build. There was one the customer was thinking they would need 6 core boxes to make it. I looked at the drawing and told the owner of our shop I could do it with one core. So he said spend a day and build a little mock up of it. Customer came in and I had to tell him my plan. Went to lunch with them that day. Saved them thousands on making the castings. Thousands on each casting they made. That is a good memory for me. Never got a picture of the pattern but have one of me standing by the first article inspection. That was one cool looking pump body. I would get wrapped up in my work and not think about taking a picture of it. Oh well I still remember them all. I think this is why I love making these cutting fixtures. Take care, Gary
I LIKE ALL WOOD TURNINGS BUT JIGS IS WHAT I ENJOY THE MOST----I REALLY ENJOYED SEEING YOUR IMPROVEMENT ON THAT JIG TO MAKE A LARGER WOOD PIECES I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE MADE----THANKS GREAT WORK ROBERT IN ARKANSAS
I love watching these videos. I'm just a neophyte woodturner and still really learning to turn pens properly. As I watch these, I'll keep my eyes open for a simple enough project that I might give a try. But, I'm 73 yo and it takes me more time to learn.
i dont usually comment on youtube videos but i really enjoy, and am inspired by your videos. Starting to turn for the first time in my mid 30's and i'm drawn to all your segmented pieces. I cant wait to try to build one of these bandsaw jigs and also the parting tool jig to cut my own bowls from boards. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and your beautiful projects.
Loved it all Gary! The fact that you had demonstrated the process before the explanation I think made the explanation much more understandable. And what a beautiful bowl! Thank you for that. Cheers, Rick
Another AWESOME video Gary. I love your explanations and the detail you get across. It must take you forever to come up with these gorgeous bowls. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ron. Happy you enjoyed the video. Some of the things might take a few nights at the computer to get everything worked out. I like to be as close to 100% sure it will work before I start cutting up pieces to make it. I like all aspects of making a shape like this so it is all fun. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, this is the king of the bowls you have made on this fixture so far. It is so pretty. I have just started working on the first bowl using the fixture you made two years ago. I did make a trial run out of pine to make sure I had made the fixture right. I sure thank you for the help that you give us. It really means a lot to get this help from you. I would like you to make a fixture for a bigger bowl.
300th like. It’s not just nice, it is absolutely lovely and, I agree, the first coat of finish brings out the beauty of the wood. You are a very clever man, Gary. And wow! that was one hell of a storm. Look after yourself. 🌞
Gary, that is one nice looking bowl! I like how you fit the pieces together to keep them from shifting when gluing them. I will have to wait till I can get a bandsaw to try this - but I will keep it in mind to try.
Awesome video Gary! And a great lesson on how to do it. I love the technical side of your efforts. I would really like to try to make this sled, and duplicate your efforts. You are truly an inspiration to us all. Of course, another video on a new sled for bigger bowls would be great. I would like to see that very much. Thank you for everything. It's great to have another lesson on how to do excellent wood turning.
This to me is a "MASTER (OK, P.hD.)" level old word pattern/tool-making skills and experience applied to segmented wood turning. As a 72-year-old retired materials engineer, I have great respect and admiration for such old-world methods and tools being used for crafts such as woodturning and woodworking. Not sure if your background is in tool or pattern making etc but always admire your work, Gary. Rama, NC
Thank you very much Rama. I like these old methods as well as the old hand tools we had. I am retired wood pattern maker and do miss making patterns but this fills the spot just right. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary, Thanks for your response but sincerely I would like to "BUY" one of your curved cutting jigs not because I can not make one of my own but mostly to support your channel as well as have a keepsake jig from a MASTER CRAFTSMAN
@@rsc4peace971 thank you very much. The jig also needs a post and might be different depending on the banjo. But mostly I am not really into sales. Hope you understand. If you have a printer I might put the files on Tinkercad,
@@ThePapa1947 I know Gary, I don't have metal machining capability but can possibly use my wood lathe to turn soft metal like Al, brass, or even Cu. I will make one at some point as I am just at the rookie stage of segmented turning. So ways to go. Thanks for all your content they are priceless to me. Rama
Not sure what you are asking. But it is cutting the same shape but longer. So it pretty much has to work. Let me know if that was not your question. Thanks for watching. Gary

High Gary I am making a 14 inch dia spiral platter I made a precise aluminum pattern on my Bridgeport with a rotary table , I clamp the wood to the aluminum pattern and use a flush cut router bit to finish after rough cutting on my bandsaw, they glued up perfectly. 7:45

Happy Anniversary Papa1947.
Thank you very much Papadawg. That makes 3 that have remembered. We are very happy and appreciate that.
Take care,
Gary
Great work, love that jig. I've cut rings before using the compound slide of a metal lathe. For ease of use though your method looks much quicker. (alot less winding of handles) can you tell me please is it possible to make a bowl from a board with 60 degree cuts to equal a 120 overall bowl? Thanks for your time. Happy turning.
Thank you Sam. I have cut them on my small metal lathe and decided there has to be a better way so I came up with this jig.
I do have video showing how you can get a curved bowl. The cuts do become longer but it works.
As a matter of fact coming soon I plan on doing another but here is the video I did.

I hope you get to spend some time in your local high school woodshop ... and invite the geometry teacher to join the class.
Thank you Jon. I am not even sure the high schools have wood shop anymore. Except for one. Benson Tech.
I was able to take shop class all 4 years in high school even though you could only do 3.
They asked if I would not do the class but help the freshman class. When i was helping I could build what I wanted.
That year I built one sister a desk, a china hutch for another and a sewing machine cabinet for a 3rd sister. I had 2 other sisters but no time to make them anything.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Amazing work from an amazing mind. Could you use the scrap from the bigger piece to make an 8" bowl. Both bowls are super awesome. Keep up the amazing work! 👽
Thank you very much. That is a good idea. Maybe not an 8" But I think maybe a 7 inch. Now you got me wanting to give it a try.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary do you sell the jig to hold the cutter as I would like one. The bowls look Amazing , thank you for the inspiration
Sorry Douglas I do not as I think it would be a good idea to have liability insurance if I did sell something like this.
I do have a couple videos showing how I made two other very simple versions. I also have a 3D model on TinkerCad for anyone who has a 3D printer.

Much appreciated.

Hi Gary. Is it normal to feel some of the joints after the project has sat for a while. All of my segmented turnings I have this happen. I hope that I’m not doing something wrong. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you Gary
Hi Charles. A lot of what cause that is where it is located. Also I like to let the glue dry for a day if I can before turning and most of the time it sits for a day before I sand it. But some pieces will just want to move. The very large tumbling block turning I made shifted and it was really the finish i was feeling. I used Polycrylic on it and I ended up letting it sit for a month then sanded the finish with 600 grit. Nice and smooth now.
@@ThePapa1947 it seems like the different woods glued together are the ones that I notice moving. Thank you Gary
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!! Any suggestions where I could get that wonderful jig?
Thank you Carlos. The jig is something I came up with. I can put those files on TinkerCad .
I do have a video showing how I made one from parts you can buy.
Hi again Gary
I have watched as you said a couple of your board to bowl videos and am on my way to giving one a go. Just looking again at this video though I see that awsome little piece that you 3d printed. I guess the first one was Aluminium?
Would you consider marketing these? I reckon you would do well. I would have my name down for one if you did.
Keep up he brilliant work mate!
Your skill shows through on every job.
John in Queensland.
Thank you very much John. Yes the first one I did was out of wood and then I milled one out of aluminum.
I decided to 3D print one as well and the file is on TinkerCad for anyone that wants to use it.
Selling anything like this would mean you should have liability insurance. I trust what I make but I can not trust how it is used by others
Here is a version of the wood one I made which is easy to do which works fine. I did the others because I just love to make things:
ruclips.net/video/GnzYR6y4ZhM/видео.html
Fantastic, beautiful, amazing!! Do you have a video showing how to make the bandsaw fixture to do all the cuts! If you have plans I would be willing to pay for them! Again beautiful I hope I can do just a fraction of you quality! Thanks Gerry
Thank you Gerry,
If you watch this video you should be able to get all the information for making the fixture. If not feel free to ask.

Gary
Beautiful as always. You're so clever; that jig is genius! A couple questions: (1) You mentioned "roasted wood." What's that? I've never heard that term. (2) How did your 3D printed jig compare with the aluminum one? Does it wear significantly faster?
Thank you Jim. The roasted wood is just Oak, Maple or Poplar they put in an oven and roast it to the point of almost burning.
It is to keep insects from trying to eat or live in it. I think they use it for decks and other outdoor uses.
I felt the 3D printed one worked just fine.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Do you have the drawings available to make the larger swivel jig?
Hi Tom, if you email me I am sure I can help you with what you are looking for.
As in the previous comment I made check for my email address in my About Page.
Or you can give me yours but I do not post it in the comments just because of the auto spam bots.
Gary
Your mind works in amazing ways, Gary! Another great project, my friend. Great video!! Thanks for sharing!
Take care,

Thanks so much Gord. Happy you liked it. I just figured it was time to show a bigger one on this jig. Sure glad it worked because that was a first time for that size for me as well LOL.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary bute of a bowl. I am going to give it a try. I say this to those whose think they cannot do it. It is only difficult because you dont know how, well Gary has just explained and shown us all. Try it. Then try a femisphere.
Harry.
Thanks so much Harry. You have the right attitude on trying something new. You do not know how hard it is till you try.
I continue to try and do things I have not done before. This keeps things interesting. In-between I still love just turning something with a basic shape.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I was one of those kids that just "didn't get" what trigonometry was all about and why it was even taught. Perhaps if more math teachers used practical applications like you have shown then more students would make these connections.
I'd love to see the bigger sled....AND.... Your explanation for how you derive the measurements.😊
Thank you very much Dave and I could not agree more about how some things are taught. I did very good in math in grade school so much they moved me into a special math class with the next grade up. In high school that slapped me into algebra and I had no clue what and why. And that was the teacher I had. Never explained a thing.
So when I started my pattern making apprenticeship I had to take college classes in trig and geometry. My love of math came back and I loved it. Used it everyday at work in my job and still use it today.
Well so far I am on track to making the bigger sled. What I have came up with will be even easier. Well I have nothing built but I have a first design and it is looking good. It will need to be tested though.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 it is truly an amazing world.... I can be sitting in my pajamas, drinking my AM coffee, and taking notes from a retired patternmaker who lives 3000 miles from me. And then 30 minutes later I can be swapping questions and answers with the likes of Richard Raffan, halfway around the globe. If only our political leaders could get along the way we do here. Thank you Gary, for being YOU.
@@NBCRGraphicDesign we all started out the same. Some take the wrong road in life.
I prefer people like you myself.
Excellent video. I tried my first bowl from a board a few months ago and I got it too thin. you can guess what happened. But I always learn from making a mistake. Will try it again soon.
Thank you and for sure we learn from doing. I am sure you next one will be great.
Gary
The video I was talking about was a Chevron glue up that you did a bowl in a board from. I believe that the video changed while I was typing my comment.
Thanks for clearing that up.
It works both ways for me. But I have never had any art lessons so I could be doing it all wrong.
Please understand that this is my humble opinion. I'm not an artist either. Just a little OCD at times. Lol. Keep up the good work my friend
Yes I understand. My thoughts were the center section was all the same wood and I thought it might dress it up.
I just picked it up and I still like it the way it is and I ask my wife and she did as well.
Would I like it the other way. Yes I would and almost every turning I do with a segmented bottom I have all the points meet in the middle.
I am proud of the fact I can cut the segments to meet in the middle and look good. Something most people have problems with and say it can not be done.
I appreciate all your comments.
Take care,
Gary
One remark though: That parting tool is not 1/4 inch; its 1/8 isn't isnt it?
The parting tool is 1/4 inch high and about .07 inch's wide.
Your work is fantastic. Is it possible to get the detentions for your jig??thank you.

Great job Gary, I see you’re over 100K views so are we going to see a jig to make the bigger bowls with less scrap soon 😀 (please ) 😀? I really like your segmented turnings and the custom jig makes these special. Thank you for sharing!
I just did my first segmented bowl in 5 years now anxious to do more, as I am really rusty and need practice.
Thank you Ian. I did make a bigger jig that made an 18 inch Lazy Susan with this same pattern. It was pretty had to glue up but it worked.
Not totally happy with the jig and might make some changes before doing a video on building it.

Fantastic Gary.
Maybe a lot of people might not be able to do it but I had no doubt you would be able to do it and do it you did.
Great video my friend.
Take care Gary.
Hwyl, Huw
Thanks Huw, it was all about the rotation point for making a larger diameter. I knew I could go this far but that might be the limit on this sled. Seems like it might be time to design another one.
Hwyl,
Gary
All I can say the math part and bandsaw jig is mind boggling 😂 how you figure out how to make a larger segment just from scraps.😂😂
Absolute beautiful
Only made one segment bowl, bottom broke off before finishing the inside 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Nancy. Well I do plan on making a larger one from narrower strips for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary. I'm glad I'm not a woodturner because then I won't have to think about making one of those jigs. I start to get a headache just thinking about it when you explain them.
Bill
Thank you Bill. Works opposite for me. Gets rid of a headache. Gets rid of all those numbers bouncing around in my head 😭😂
Gary, you are absolutely amazing....... maybe someday i'll understand the math, But I wouldn't hold my breath on that LOL
John I would like to show the math involved in this and the new one I am working on. But for sure I can give the dimensions needed and I think I will have a simple way to do that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well, there is more than one way to skin a cat with your existing jig. I was thinking about making a larger jig to make larger bowls. But this video shows me a way to use my existing jig to make a larger bowl. Consequently, you saved me a lot of work making a new jig. Will head down to the shop and see how it works for me.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you John. It should work fine. You could use some cardboard to prove things out but it should work just fine.
Thank you very much for the information and the video. I look forwards to making the jig and turning some projects. You are a true craftsman and artist.
Thank you Edward that is very kind of you to say.
Thanks for watching,

Love your segment work Gary, excellent jobs, i don't have the know how or tools to do it myself, but really find it interesting what you come up with next. How's that shoulder has it settled down again. All the best from Lincolnshire UK 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Gary. Well I love doing these and may not have made another like the small one. But this gave me a chance to make a bigger one. Many of asked if it could be done. I was sure it could and it did.
Shoulder is being a bad boy. Have appointment to have it checked out. Hope just cortisone or something like that will help.
Thanks for asking and for watching,

Thanks Gary, I made the sled and my bowl turned out awesome, glad to see how th make a larger bowl. As always your videos are top notch!!!
Thanks Ron. Thanks for letting me know it worked out for you.
Take care,

That looks really complicated to make a jig like that but I suppose all you need to do is try and then perfect it! Lovely bowl with a perfect finish!, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you very much Al. I think if you watch the video where I made it you will be able to without too much trouble.
Take care,

I'm a pretty new subscriber, love the turnings that you do! However, after I watch the video on making the sled, I'll be heading to the hardware store to pick up what I'll need to make one if I don't already have it "in stock". Amazing work!!
Thank you very much Dave. It is pretty simple to make but if you have any questions let me know.
Gary
I made a sled last year successfully after going over your description many times. I have made a number of bowls and had a friend make me a tool rest guide as you described and have a parting tool identical to yours. I like the idea of a support behind the board as my last attempt at an eight inch bowl caused the outer ring to break into several pieces. I re-assembled it although I was turning way too fast but surprisingly the cut was quick and didn’t overheat or blunt the tool as much. 😅 I enjoy learning from you but can’t get all the finishes you use in Australia.
Thank you very much. Nice to hear you have made the jig and it is working good for you.
I never had one of the boards break but I sure like the support piece I made for keeping it from spinning around after the cut.
What kind of finishes can you get. Clear gloss lacquer will do the same thing.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary
Beautiful creation ,and a great hand me down for family to enjoy in coming generations.
Funny when in our eighties we have all day to do whatever we like but there never seems to be enough time to do it all in!
Love your bowls, and clear explanations on the how to do it.
Thanks for sharing

hmmmj I smoked a pork shoulder
Thanks so much for sharing.. looking forward to your next bigger sled...I;m 85, and love making economy bowls.
Thank you John. Economy bowls are lots of fun. i have a video showing how you can make one with curved sides.
Adds a little bit of interest but then on things like this I think straight sides can actually add to the looks.
thanks for watching,

A relatively simple jig for the bandsaw, but what a fantastic result ... the parting tool jig, so simple but effective ... overall a fantastic demonstration of how to create a stunning looking bowl ... awesome👍
Thank you so much Barry for you comments. Happy you enjoyed this video,
Take care,

...yep...loved the bowl and the technical info...
What I love about these turnings is when the glue lines are turned away and the wood segments appear to become one solid piece...
Amazing work Gary...thanks...👍

I love when people tell me I can't . That's fuel for me . Doubly for you being a retired pattern maker. I'm sure you've had more than a few jobs that would bend the mind. Have a great day Gary.
All The Best
Terry
Thank you Terry. Yeah they used to give me some real complex patterns to build. There was one the customer was thinking they would need 6 core boxes to make it. I looked at the drawing and told the owner of our shop I could do it with one core. So he said spend a day and build a little mock up of it. Customer came in and I had to tell him my plan. Went to lunch with them that day. Saved them thousands on making the castings. Thousands on each casting they made. That is a good memory for me.
Never got a picture of the pattern but have one of me standing by the first article inspection. That was one cool looking pump body.
I would get wrapped up in my work and not think about taking a picture of it. Oh well I still remember them all.
I think this is why I love making these cutting fixtures.
Take care,

Thank you Laura! It is doing very good right now so it looks like I will be making a new jig soon.

I love watching these videos. I'm just a neophyte woodturner and still really learning to turn pens properly. As I watch these, I'll keep my eyes open for a simple enough project that I might give a try. But, I'm 73 yo and it takes me more time to learn.
Thank you John. I figured keep learning all you can. I continue to do as much as I can.

Gary, this is the king of the bowls you have made on this fixture so far. It is so pretty. I have just started working on the first bowl using the fixture you made two years ago. I did make a trial run out of pine to make sure I had made the fixture right. I sure thank you for the help that you give us. It really means a lot to get this help from you. I would like you to make a fixture for a bigger bowl.
Thank you Don.. Very good chance I will be making one. Have a few things that need taken care of first.
Thanks for watching,

300th like. It’s not just nice, it is absolutely lovely and, I agree, the first coat of finish brings out the beauty of the wood. You are a very clever man, Gary. And wow! that was one hell of a storm. Look after yourself. 🌞
Thank you Ray...oh yeah I forgot I added that storm. Wow it was rocking and the cats were hiding. Along with me LOL
Take care,

Gary, that is one nice looking bowl! I like how you fit the pieces together to keep them from shifting when gluing them. I will have to wait till I can get a bandsaw to try this - but I will keep it in mind to try.
Thanks so much. Around here you can get a used one at a real good price. Not sure where you are at though.
Take care,
Gary
Awesome video Gary! And a great lesson on how to do it. I love the technical side of your efforts. I would really like to try to make this sled, and duplicate your efforts. You are truly an inspiration to us all. Of course, another video on a new sled for bigger bowls would be great. I would like to see that very much. Thank you for everything. It's great to have another lesson on how to do excellent wood turning.
Thank you so much. Well I think I really have to make one now. Darn good thing I love making these types of sleds LOL

Thank you Madonna. You might like the math part inside there but not the rest that is bouncing around inside. LOL
This to me is a "MASTER (OK, P.hD.)" level old word pattern/tool-making skills and experience applied to segmented wood turning. As a 72-year-old retired materials engineer, I have great respect and admiration for such old-world methods and tools being used for crafts such as woodturning and woodworking. Not sure if your background is in tool or pattern making etc but always admire your work, Gary. Rama, NC
Thank you very much Rama. I like these old methods as well as the old hand tools we had.
I am retired wood pattern maker and do miss making patterns but this fills the spot just right.

It is wood they bake till almost burnt. Keeps bugs from messing with it is my understanding.
