With the clamp tension "snug", the segments are tapped flush to insure alignment |
The excess glue is wiped off with water and the segment cures prior to thickness sanding |
Jim illustrates a method for gluing up the rings to complete a bowl blank |
He explains the method of gluing up a spaced segment blank for bowls |

To demonstrate the turning, Jim mounts a previously prepared segmented bowl blank |
A good safety practice is to use the tail center when ever possible, even with a faceplate mount |
Jim rough turns the blank |
Once rounded, he trues up what will ultimately be the bowl bottom |

Jim cuts a recess for mounting on a chuck and removes the center material |
Because of the change of meeting date, the attendance was smaller than usual |
With the bottom prepared, Jim does a bit of sanding |
The chuck is mounted in the recess and checked for trueness prior to removing the faceplate |

|
The faceplate is removed so the interior of the bowl can be accessed |
Because of this bowls construction, Jim cuts through the top surface of the rim |
Once through, he can begin shaping the inside of the bowl |
With the rim pretty near completion, Jim checks for any flaws requiring attention while there is still underlying support |

The finishing touches are put on the inside of the bowl |
The tool rest is moved out of the way to do some sanding |
The demo piece is removed from the lathe for closer examination |
Members take a look after an enjoyable and informative demo |
