All I can say is WOW what a beauty and the tutorial on how you designed the segments is a great help! Very well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks so much Al! Happy you liked it.
Take care my friend,
Gary
That's fantastic, Gary. When I first saw it, I thought of a squirrel cage blower impeller.
Bill
Thank you Bill. As I type this I can see the thumbnail on the side and that is all I see. A squirrel cage blower.
Or an impeller similar to ones we made patterns for. Same idea for sure.
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gregory,
I love love love illusions and you're a master at it sir!
Thanks so much for sharing the way you do all these things with all of us!
Tom
Thank you very much Tom. Not sure who Gregory is but thank you LOL
Take care,
Gary
Gary you say it’s a simple illusion, but it’s probably the most realistic one I’ve seen! The fact that it is mirrored on the inside adds a depth that I wouldn’t have thought possible. Quite amazing. Of course it’s also an absolutely beautiful bowl in it’s own right!! Thanks for the add-ons too. I always enjoy that. Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Happy you liked it. The hardest part is getting the angles just right when turning them into segment's.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another beautiful piece. Those look like a row of pigeon holes, like you might find in an old writing desk.
So true Cory. I made a roll desk many years ago and never got around to making the little pigeon holes.
Might be time to do that now.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love the way this bowl looks!
Thank you Carol. It is a fun one to do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Fascinating illusion Gary. Great craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
Thank you Mick. It was a lot of fun and all that hard to do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
WOW gary that's beautiful. very good. weldone. its amazing.
Thanks Manjit..happy you liked it.
Gary
I don't even know what to say about this one. Amazing. Beautiful finish!
WoW. Your work is unbelievable. Love it.
Thank you Chris you have said a lot and I appreciate the comment.
Take care my friend...oh I will watch you CNC router video later today.
Gary
Thanks so much!
You are the master of illusion, Gary. Thanks for entertaining us while you create your artwork!
Wow, thanks Crystal and thanks for watching,
Gary
Now I need to try that one. You gave it a nice shape and good wood colors. Nice job Gary (thats an understatement).
Thank you very much Tim. Yes indeed you should give it a try.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Really like your segmented bowls
Thanks Paul. More coming soon.
Gary
Another interesting and informative video about a beautiful turning project.
Thanks! 👍👍
Many thanks Jerry and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it Stevio and thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I watch and try to comment on all your videos. Some are not exactly in my primary woodturning interest. I split my lathe time equally between spindle, bowl, and segmenting. However, I believe you are the best woodturner putting videos on RUclips and I really think you should be supported. You and I have almost exactly the same kind of tools except I'm not a metal worker. I appreciate the time and effort it must cost you to record and publish.
I just love it Gary. I'm very occupied for the past week and a half with the 3D box that you shared a couple of weeks ago. Getting it glued together is a complete different thing after you have it cut and fitting together. I would love to show it to you. I'm hoping to have it complete with a nice finish by Wednesday. I would like to show it at worldwide woodturners Wednesday night meeting on zoom. If you pop on I would love for you to see it. I will have to get more involved with this video and try and understand the sizes of these cut segments. I enjoy your videos very much. Keep them coming. Maybe I will see you Wednesday night. 7 o'clock eastern time Wednesday night. Thank you for sharing your ideas 💡
Thank you very much Albert. I would love to see what you have done. Wednesday night is our choir night practice but that is 7PM our time which is Pacific time.
I think they are recorded as I recall. I can look it up other wise. Do you have to have a link to sign on?
Take care,
Gary
Really nice Gary, I am in awe of your ability to design and make it work. What determines if you use paper or power sander?
Thanks, Ian
Thank you Ian. On a segmented piece most of the grain is running the direction the piece is turning. So with paper sheets you are not crossing the grain. Also if I have a shape I want to keep I can control it better with sheet paper as it will mold to the shape. Great question and thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary...
You are the Master of illusion...
Just awesome...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thanks so much Andy you comments are appreciated.
Take care,
Gary
Kool Gary !
Thank you very much Josephine!
Take care,
Gary
Do you make up these patterns or do you get them from somewhere else? Very interesting.
This one comes from a cutting board pattern I saw. I changed the look a little by making it look deeper.
Others have been from knitting patterns I have seen pictures of.
So no plans other than a picture but the geometry is very easy to see on a lot of them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another great illusion gary
Thanks so much Sean! Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Another great project Gary!! Now that is getting cooler here in AZ its time to get back to work and this is the perfect piece to get started, thanks for all your work on this channel. Just wondering if that's a floating bottom you used. In all your videos I have never seen you use one if it is. Again thank you for all your inspiration
Thank you very much Charlie. We are back to some rain here which is good.
It is really not a floating bottom but done like one. I say not because I did use more glue than you would for a true floating bottom.
I have to say I have never really done one and I have turnings that are over 50 years old that do not have floating bottoms and are fine.
A lot of times I will use a full segmented bottom to the center. But I wanted a lighter color on the inside is why I did this.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
you are amazing
Thank you Michael that is very kind of you to say.
Take care,
Gary
Gary,
Yet another creative masterpiece! Your easy to understand narrative and video is all the incentive I needed to try making this myself. Just made a simple 45/90 degree sled and have cut the pieces for the feature ring and on my way. You are a teacher, extraordinaire! Did have one question. How did you make your base? Did you make the segmented base ring and then cut a circle to insert the oak piece or a recess on the inside. Thanks
Thanks so much Bruce! Yes I made the segmented ring and turned a step in it so I could insert the oak. The next ring covered the joint. The other option was to make a complete segmented bottom to the center out of Oak or Maple. But I wanted to keep the look of the Sapele on the outside.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Once again, you have blown us away. These illusion bowls are so intricate yet you make it seem so simple. Bravo my friend.
Thanks so much Tim. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Hello Gary... Just wanted to say you make very clear, precise videos on woodturning. I am especially interested in segmented bowls also. I have Woodturner Pro, and would like to see if I could get the file for the Water Wheel Illusion, but am having trouble finding your email address I can send a note to. Sorry, this may seem simplistic, but not that familiar with RUclips procedures. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks so much Bob. It should be in my About Page
So on my Home Page click on the arrow that says More.
Let me know if that works.
Happy to send you the file.
Garyt
Gary, your illusion projects are amazing, I am new to your channel and I am enjoying your work, thanks for sharing..
Thank you very much Michael I appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.
Gary
like it a lot. what size square did you start with on feature . thanks
The window size is 1.875 inchs square. The larger pieces are 1.875X1.375 inches.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary , that was just awesome. I’m relatively new to woodworking and turning but I’ve learned so much from your videos! I do have a question though. I’m having trouble figuring out how you added the Oak bottom so that it’s only visible from the inside ? Thank you so much for what you do and share with everyone!
Thank you Bruce. I cut a step on the bottom which created a place for a false bottom. I may have to show that sometime.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gorgeous good job sir.Thank you for sharing you project.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
Fantastic turning Gary. Truly inspirational. If I can ask, where did you get your hose clamps from? I have looked on-line and haven't been able to find any wide enough to handle those size rings.
Thank you Dick. Check Amazon for the clamps. You can get them up to 12" for sure. They are stainless steel and very strong.
Thanks for watching,
Gary

That’s a very nice segmented bowl. Are the maple spacers used in the feature ring cut at an angle , like the segments, or they crosscut with parallel sides? Thanks.
Thank you very much Tom. The spacers are parallel. I cut them from longer strips of maple I had prepared to the correct thickness. This keeps the angle correct so all the joints fit correctly.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Absolutely brilliant that was, on it's side i was looking at a water wheel, great finish on all those woods, How's the shoulder coming on now All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thanks so much Gary. You are right about the water wheel. Also reminds me of a turbine. We made patterns for turbines and they are real cool looking.
Shoulder is better but does not like sleeping at night because still hurts bad in the morning. But I have a lot more pain free movement.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Did you use a lot of red mahogany as a pattern maker? My dad made everything out of it when I was a kid now you can't buy it anywhere, when I was a teen it was half the price of pine so I used it too
Yes in the beginning we used a lot of mahogany. Then in the 80's we could not get it. Same as sugar pine. The supply for both disappeared. Where was your dad a patternmaker?
Wow, from one Gary to another; this and your creations are amazing. Relatively I haven’t been turning that long, yet I am learning an immense amount from your vast experience. Thank you, for sharing & the world is a much better place for people like you.👍🏼🥰😎Kind regards Gary Gary’s Pens & Turnings UK
Thank you very much Gary for your kind words. I always am on the watch to learn something new myself.
The only way to learn is if someone is willing to share so I think it is only fair to do the same.
Take care and have fun turning,
Gary
Hi Gary: Just now getting ready to turn your beautiful bowl. I was wondering if 3/4 inch thick wood for the illusion is sufficient ? Also i like the oak base. I'm guessing you inlayed that inside the fist layer off the tenon ?
Hi Jim,
I think 3/4 thickness should be fine. I think my plans called for a little less. Should be plenty of stock to get the shape you want.
Yes I made the base ring and then cut a rabbit in it to place the bottom.
Have fun,
Gary
OK thanks again
Gary you are a great teacher. I was always intimidated by segment turning so I did not want try it. I watched your video once but was intrigued by it so I studied it a couple of times more and then decided to make a wedgie sled. First I made some rings to see how well the angle were. 16 segments. I made a simple segmented bowl with some wood I had in the shop and it came out decent. Then I thought about making the Illusion bowl on your video. The first one taught me some things I did wrong. So a week later I made another one but thought it through in stages and wow. I'm hooked. Thanks for your step by step explanation. I am a cabinet maker so I strive for perfection and accuracy. This really helped me.
Thank you John. So happy to hear you have decided to try all of this. So much you can do and not even needing costly wood.
I understand striving for perfection. I am a retired wood patternmaker. There was no striving for it. It was a MUST.
Looking forward to hearing more of what you do.
Gary
Beautiful piece of work. Do you have to do a lot of trial and error getting the tilt on the saw exact or do you have a technique to get there quickly?
Thank you Gary. I use a digital angle finder. I have found that the angle works just using the angle finder on the blade.
I have used scrap wood to make sure but have not had to change anything. I have heard that the angle finder is +or - .2 degrees but it works for me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
What will you keep in all those compartments? Gary, you are amazing.
I was thinking about putting reminder notes in them but they kept falling out for some reason so I just said forget about it LOL.
Thanks for watching Garth.
Take care,
Gary
Great looking bowl. Love all the illusions pieces you do. I've got to try one sometime. Thank for the tips at the end. Great job as always.
Thank you Robert. This would be a great one to try for sure. Hope you do give it a try.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Brilliant illusion, Gary! You certainly do see things in three dimension, my friend. I really enjoy attending these classes of yours. 😊😊
Was that oak bottom inserted as a floating disc? I haven’t seen you do that before that I can recall.
Take care,
…..Gord
Many thanks Gord! It is amazing how shades of colors can produce these effects. I sure enjoy doing them.
No it is not a floating bottom. I just wanted the lighter wood so it would help light up the inside.
And I wanted to be able to blend the sides to the bottom. I never have made a floating bottom but I understand why it is done. Maybe Oregon's climate lets me get away with it. Based on some turnings I have solid bottoms on that are close to 50 years old.
But on the other hand I do a lot with full segmented bottoms.
Thanks for watching my friend and hope you are doing well.
Gary
You're a very talented man!
Thank you very much Martin. This is something I really enjoy doing.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
The illusion is a multi illusion depending how the bowl is held. It was Fun to watch.
Thank you Judith. For sure it can be many ways. Another I did not mention is a water wheel.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That came out nice! What are you working on today?
Thanks Steve. A good sized piece of English Walnut.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nicely done, Professor! Great combination of complimentary woods, a very unique design and a gorgeous finish. What else is there? Oh yeah, skill, that what else there is! And an ability to explain it all AND imagine it in the first place! I think you should try this with root-wood. Then replant it, see if you get a segment tree! Well done, my friend! 😊
Phil
Thanks Phil. I appreciate your comments. I like the idea of planting a root that has been segmented. Those would make some fine bowl blanks. Just imagine what kind of a live edge bowl we could get LOL
Thanks buddy!
Gary
I made that cutting board you just give me a note project to do thanks
Thank you!
If you have a Woodturner Pro or Segment Pro file, would it be possible for you to share It?
I have the file for Woodturner Pro. If you send me an email I can help you with that.
@@ThePapa1947 I don't have your email address. Can we get together on the woodturner forum?
Just when I think it can’t get any better, BOOM 💥. These illusion bowls keep getting better and better. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge Gary.
Thanks so much Scott. At first I thought because it is pretty easy to do it would not be so effective. But I have to admit it has a cool look to it.
Thanks for watching and commenting,
Gary
You are amazing
Thank you very much Michel.
I appreciate your kind words.
Gary
How much would you sell a bowl like this for?
I never gave it much thought.
How much would you pay for a bowl like this?
very cool
Thanks so much Craig I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Gary, you always deliver. How you keep coming up with the illusions beats me - but each one has its own uniqueness. It doesn't matter if you are turning something like this or just a plain bowl - you never disappoint. Looking forward to what you come up with next.
Thanks so much Qapla! I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Talk about a work of art geez❤
Thanks Ron I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching,
Gary
Howdy Gary Nice job it looks Amazing! Love it 👍👍👍
Thanks for showing how to create the illusion that’s really cool, enjoyed the video 😎
Thanks so much Kimsey I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care my friend,
Gary
How do you work out the angle cut for the circle size. Gary
Vini I just divide 360/12=30 And half of that is 15 degrees on a side. Is that what you are wondering? If not let me know.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary 👍
Another superb illusion bowl Gary.
Wood combinations works perfectly for the illusion.
Take care my Friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw, The wood choices on this was harder for me than most. For me some colors are so close it is hard to be sure. I asked the boss when that happens LOL.
Take care buddy!
Hwyl,
Gary
Hi Gary Just now viewed this bowl it just amazing what you do, so as always i'm going to try it myself with the help of your video. Thanks again
Thanks Jim. Should be pretty easy to do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary,
What a wonderful bowl and illusion… one could get lost in it! Plus the inside really draws you in. The finish looks amazing.
I like the bonus info at the end👍
Many thanks Skip and thanks for watching,
Gary
Thanks for all your videos--I have been watching your channel for a couple of years--I will have to say you are a wonderful teacher with a lot of great ideas--Please continue to make additional videos--I have made several of the projects that you have showed us--Have a great evening--Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much Randy for your very kind words. They are much appreciated.
Gary
Hi Gary. Very cool illusion. It is a beautiful piece. Looks like a bowl of cubbies inside and out. 👍😊
Thanks Rob. It was fun to do and easy to make this illusion. Hard to beat that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
This is my 4th watch, I'm blown away by your talent and skill, I'm hooked, I love it. Thank you so much for sharing this.and, stay blessed.
Desiree thank you very much
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
l like this bowl or is it a bowl
Thanks Delbert. Sure it is a bowl or maybe a cookie jar. Never really thought about it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I don't often comment. But every time I see your tricks/3D effects, I'm amazed at how you can visualise things and translate into reality. This one's no exception.
With a matching lid, this would make a great biscuit barrel.
I see the sides as hallways.
Thanks.
Thank you very much Keb.
I spent my working days seeing things in 3D from a 2 D drawing. This was a must skill to be able to build the things I did for a living.
Yes they do look like hallways for sure.
How was the base cut?
As I recall I just band sawed the disk out.
Amazing Gary! You are the master illusionist when it comes to segmented bowls, your creativity always blows me away. I just came into lots of Black Walnut, Maple, Honduras Mahogany and a bit of Yellow Heart. I for sure have to give this design a try. Thank you for sharing it sure helps us new turners a lot! Take care, Wayne
Thank you Wayne I appreciate your comments.
Sounds like you got some great wood.
Sure wish I could find Yellow Heart around here.
Even the huge hardwood store I go to does not seem to be able to get it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Where oh where do you come up with all of the ideas for your segmented bowls. You do great work. I really enjoy watching you cut and turn these amazing pieces. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you very much Doug. Well some have been done in cutting boards and knitting so I just work out how it is done and how I can wrap them around a bowl.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Woozier! I love geometry and you incorporate it in the most beautiful of ways!! From an old Appalachian Kentucky man.
Thank you very much Larry. We traveled a lot of the states in 2016 and loved Kentucky. Have a picture of us standing on the Appalachian trail.
Take care,
Gary
Gary, Beautiful job and great outcome! It reminds me of a turbine style spinner. I look forward to your next project, keep them coming!
Thank Michael. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Thanks for sharing Gary! I love your videos and your great explanation of everything. I have used your ideas and they work great. I will be trying your illusions method soon!
Thank you very much Tim and let me know how it turns out.
Gary
I always enjoy your videos. The segmented bowls are my favorite I think. Though, you may come up with something else that is even better. This bowl is just awesome. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. I hope you have gotten some rain and cool temperatures. Thanks again for sharing your work.
Thanks so much Travis. I do like doing segments but enjoy all types as well. The segment work takes longer most of the time so I try and space them out.
Yes indeed we have been getting some rain and the plants really needed. They are all out there smiling away.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You should call this one "Tunnel Vision" Gary. The illusion sure grabs your eye. Great video as usual. Another great teaching job Love the different ways you transition from one scene to the next.
I can see myself drawing the feature ring on my makeshift drafting board, using my old school "T" Square and a couple of triangles. I use a power eraser as I make so many mistakes. It is a fairly simple design, but I lack the imagination to come up with the concept in the first place. Well done!
Thank you Gil. Yes it could be a tunnel. If you vary the size of the back wall it can make it deeper looking. A fun illusion for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
The bowl you made this time was just cooler than the other side of the pillow. I really liked the illusion. When it was still on the lathe and revolving sideways, it really looked like the water wheel down at the old grist mill! The trick for making it looks simple enough that an old coot like me could give one a try. Thanks! 🥸👍👀✅🧑🎄🌲❗️
Thank you very much Joe. Oh I am sure you can make it. I am an old coot myself LOL.
Merry Christmas to you,
Gary
Absolutely spectacular..You never cease to amaze viewers with your ideas for turning.. Keep it up....and Thanks.
Thank you so much Jeff and thanks for watching,
Gary
Another beauty Gary! Lots of good, practical information on turning as well as a bonus! Thank you!
Stuart
Thank you Stuart. I appreciate your comments.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Well, there you go again with another neat segmented wood turning. I like it! This piece has a nice illusion of shadowing, as seen looking at a window from an angle or a view of a hallway. I think using different colors of wood would offer different illusions that folks could try out if they desire.
Ten thumbs up from this end of the innerweb.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you John. All about how shadows can play tricks with your eyes. Fun stuff. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Very excellent Gary. You make segmented turning look so easy. It's truly an inspiration to us all. Makes me want to try this out right away. I love your work, and the extra lessons at the end really help out. Thanks very much. See you next time.
Thank you Mark. Hope you do give it a try. Lots of fun to do.
Gary
Stunning illusion bowl great video a true craftsman wonderful informative video best regards Andy
Thanks so much Andy I appreciate your comment.
Gary
Well, my friend, you've done it again. This is a very cool illusion and you share the knowledge of how to do it. Great stuff!
Thank you Josh. It was fun to do and I really like it a lot. Happy you do as well.
Take care my friend,
Gary
I love the illusion. Hope you don’t mind me copying it. Thank you for sharing. I love your work.
Thank you Charlie and I do not mind at all. If you have any questions let me know.
Take care,

Fantástico
Thanks so much i appreciate you watching,
Gary
Thanks for sharing this. Simple but very effective design. It definitely made it to the top of my to do list. Please keep them coming. Teoman
Thank you Teoman. Sometimes simple can be the best.
Let me know if you do one and how it turns out.
Take care,
Gary
Love it!! I bet you (not me or just anyone) could make a bowl illusion that looks like a turbo impeller. I almost can see a water wheel on your bowl. I love your videos.
Thank you very much Barry. I kept seeing that turbine wheel as well. Made a number of patterns for pumps and parts of jet engines. Some had a similar look to them.
We had a river boat that did trips on the Willamette River and I remember the big wheel it had on it. Reminds me of that as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Creative beautiful work, very useful wood turning video, thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us 🙏🏼
Thank you very much I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Hi very impressed, an example of time patience and skill , turning ( pun intended ) small components in to a Big impressive item. 👍🐝🌞
Thank you very much Jim. Strange how it started as bigger pieces of wood cut into small pieces and glued back together to make a bigger piece again...hmm LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
It's amazing the effect you can get just by using the right colors and grain direction. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. Yes color is very important and the grain direction can sure add to the look.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting to do a bowl like this but I wasn’t sure how to do it. Your lesson was well done and easy to follow. 🎉
Thank you Jeff. I think you will find it pretty easy to do. I have other illusions I show how to do as well.
Best of luck,
Gary
so so simple when u know how to do it. thanks. just finishing make my son's chess bd and pieces. walnut and ash. I wish I could show u them.
Thank you Manjit. You can send a picture to my email. You can find that in my About Page.
Gary
Great tips and awesome design
You always have the coolest ideas
Thanks Luie. I really enjoyed making this one. Glad you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent work and instruction Gary. When I saw it first I thought it was a industrial pump impeller!
Thank you Bill. Yes it sure does and I made a lot of patterns for those industrial pumps and impellers. I think the thumbnail really looks like one.
Take care,
Gary
As you were turning the bowl around at the end, reflections on the finish gave me the illusion that I was looking into the "little halls" through tiny glass windows. Fascinating piece of artistry. 👍
Thank you very much. Yes it does have that look and being able to hold it and rotate the piece can really bring that out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Ditto
Thanks Joe, I
Another segmented masterpiece from the Professor!
Thank you Julian I appreciate your comments.
Take care my friend,

Bellissimo prodotto
Grazie mille!
Loved your illusion, , ,my wife is a quilter and she calls this illusion an 'attic window'!
Thank you Dale. I am very impressed with quilters. I did one I called The Great Illusion. Based on Ruth Ann Berry. I am sure you wife would know of her work.
I like the name Attic Window

Very nice! I made a pot earlier this year very much like that it was a lot of fun. Thanks Gary
Thank you Roger. It is a fun shape to turn for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Always amazed at how you can project these small pieces to the finished product. So impressive!
Thanks so much Jim. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
This is a neat illusion - it even gives an illusion of a much greater than actual wall thickness.
Thank you Jussi. It was a fun and easy illusion to do
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I'm not sure what I could critique l. I like the form, finish, wood choices, explanations and methods. That form can be clunky, in my opinion. You've given it the right curves. Very good video.
Thank you Jay. I was seeing it as clunky myself. But after sanding and putting the finish on I think it works.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 It certainly does. That's why I had to say that you got it right.
i love all the turning designs you do. Have you ever had the hot glue fail on you. it was always a worry of mine.
Thanks so much Brendan. Well I do not recall the hot glue not working. I know it might sound like not such a good way. But I have used it on a lot of glued up turnings so I do trust it.
On turnings like this I like some support such as a steady rest or a cone at the other end. Mostly to tame down the harmonics but it also helps the hot glue as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
