If you happen to have technical difficulties, this video is also posted on YouTube. But it is best right here. So stick around. Years ago, I created a segmented vase with slanted segmented rings. In that case, I sanded each ring to achieve the angled profile. It was a lot of work. Since then I […]

Read More...Thanks to each who commented on my last post. There were a lot of great ideas. Many focused on using a band saw. For this video, I show changes to the original jig for the table saw plus some examples for cutting rings on the lathe and bandsaw. Each approach has its own strengths and […]
Read More...For convenience or if there are problems viewing this page, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook. Help. Please apply your creativity to my problem.
