Thanks for the link, David. I don't think that I'll ever be a segmenter....I'm far too spontaneous to tolerate all that planning and preparation, but I must admit that it's a fine, attractive piece of work.
p.s. ... I wonder what the HSE inspectors would make of that workshop!

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

A good vid but bad on H&S >:(
 In my experience the centre plug will shrink at a different rate to the segments around it and eventually the segments will come apart at their outside edge.
     Should have used a floating bottom.
Workshop to die for though.

I just sat back and enjoyed the stop motion film work.

Interesting but where are the m/c guards.

I think they might have been removed for the video

Nice workshop, but you really don't need all that large equipment to do segmenting. I use much smaller kit than that, but I guess the process is much the same. Many steps and a lot of time. Malcolm.

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video. Clearly from the US, big machines in a big workshop with no guards  ;)

Over here we have small machines in small workshops and can't see what we're doing because of all the guards  ;D

Cheers

Richard

Never been tempted to faff about with segments but if the wood and machines can be trained to do it all for me .....
