There was a great turnout for the meeting and Steve's demonstration |
With his angle and stop block set, Steve gets going on cutting his segments |
He uses a compound miter saw to cut his segments for his projects |
With the segments for one ring cut, he gets everything ready for gluing |
|
|
|
|
|
He lays out the pieces and clamps them dry |
Steve checks for any imperfections in the mating surfaces before proceeding to glue up |
If all is in order, he loosens the ring and begins gluing the individual pieces |
He does them on at a time replacing them back into their original location in the loosened
ring |
|
|
|
|
|
With everything glued and wetted, he presses the blocks, tightens the clamp, and sets it aside to cure |
After the rings are dried, he uses a thickness sander to surface both sides of each ring |
With a glue block mounted in the lathe, Steve uses the lathe as
a tool when assembling rings |
By using the lathe and a tapered cone, he can center each layer properly as he builds the assembly |
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of one completed with staggered rings and tapered contrast wedges |
Steve emphasizes that imagination is your only limit to creating segmented works |
He shows and example of using veneers to highlight or accent the designs |
Steve fields the last minute questions to end a great demonstration |
