Andy Chen - 2-Day Segmenting 101 Class

May 30 - 31st        Cost for 2-day class $150

Really, segmented turning is all about building the turning blank which in turn boils down to cutting segments accurately, gluing up segments into rings correctly, truing up rings and gluing together rings properly. Turning is the easy part because basically all grains in the vessel run tangential to the rotation. Therefore, I am going to focus the class on building the blank. Turning an open bowl is not something I enjoy doing and I think you'll learn more by making a hollow form. However, I don’t think we have boring systems for 6 lathes. So,

we'll concentrate on the outside form. Some of you might be skillful enough to finish the inside as well but our goal will be to have an almost-finished hollow form that you can take home to finish.
