Thanks Gord, getting back to segmenting a year and a half after bypass surgery, I need refreshers like your video.

I am new to segmented bowl turning and i just wanted to tell you thank you for putting this video together and posting it. It helped me a lot to understand the development of feature rings. Take care and Merry Christmas! 🎄

Your adjustable stop block push stick for the disc sander is brilliant! I've struggled with sanding small pieces that need to be flat and square and that solves it. Thanks Gord! Your videos are always entertaining and informative.

Wonderful Gord. I would have been glad to start my foray into segmenting work with some nice rings, but I'm lacking the tools at the moment to rip and cut and sand wood flat like you did. But it's a good lesson for when a time will come that I will be able to do so. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work as alway! Yuval.

Great video Gord, thanks for sharing. I find all your videos very informative and well made, they have helped me to improve my turning skills.

You have a wonderful way of explaining things I could listen to you all day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Way to go. Again your attention to detail amazes me. I'm going to build a stop block like you have on your table saw. I've seen several similar, but not as sturdy as yours. I've built several of the segment cutters. The guy's see how great they work and they all want one. I finally built a couple extra and just show them how to put the runner on it and how to adjust everything. Haven't sold any, but everyone I've given one too sure enjoys using it. Haven't made a feature ring yet but some of the guys at the local club have made some that are pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.

Excellent...! I love watching you do segmenting, very inspirational, I learn so much from you so thank you...! I'm really enjoying segmenting my self... cheers...

You segment your video as well as your feature ring and do not have us watch laborious repetition. Thank you for not only your invaluable tutorial on segmenting and jigging, but also for your talented planning and editing of you videos.

Hi Gord. I too am a fan of Jerry’s. picked up some good tips, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Gord

Nice ring Gord! I'm getting ready to do my first segmented piece, perfect timing!

What an inspiration! I am just getting started in segmenting and love this video. Hopefully I can reproduce some of the concepts.

Gord, Gord, Gord...you know my aversion to segmenting...but I watched every second of this video enthralled. You my friend can make what seems like a boring repetitive task, into an interesting must watch event. Sir - I salute you. Great video, and as Jim has said, be sure to show us the piece you use it in. Take care my friend Mike

Awesome Gord. Please show the finished piece when done. Cheers, Jim

Very good instructional video. Thanks Gord!!!!

Gord, nice job and explained well. I've starred segmented turning and also open segmented turning. I guess the next step is creating a feature ring. Coming up with the design is the problem. You make look easy. Thank you.

Looks perfect to me, Gord. Thanks for info and tips

Another great video Gord. You do a fantastic job o explaining and demonstrating the process. Thanks for sharing, Fred

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Re visiting this video....must say its as good as i remember!

Hi Gord, You always make it look soooooo easy! I really like your "nothing's ever perfect" attitude in you work!We may never get it perfect but we sure can try to get it as close as we can! This feature ring is testament to all of your "perfect" work! Thanks for the video! Tom

Thanks for the explanations; I will try that one day. Thanks for sharing. Marc

Great video. All necessary detail included. Just what we need. Gary Frechette

That ring turned out perfect! I only hope someday I can come close to doing that!

Bravo i am very impressed, your just a great teacher with great explanations and you take your time to explain.👏

Nice one Gord I hav to do a couple of these myself so your video came in really helpful

I like how you have made feature rings in advance of making a bowl. Great idea.

Fantastic Video and training. Thanks

I accidently pushed the do-not-like button but that's the exact opposite of what I meant:) I much enjoyed how with a simple jig and a disk sander you were able to achieve nice and repeatable units to make up your segmented ring. Jerry Bennet may be the lord of Segmentology but making feature rings is yet another art:). From every single one of you out there I take away some new ideas. Thank you for that!

Nice job as usual Gord. Thanks for the video. Best Regards, Newt

what a wonderful & informative video. I think one could take that same design and make it into inlay also. thanks for another great video.

Excellent idea and precise work as usual. Happy that you reduced the music while talking.🌺

nice job of explaining the process thank you for the lesson

Awesome and stunning

Looks great! That was a lot of work!

Excellent ring! That is a boatload of sanding. I wonder if you could reduce it some by cutting the pieces with a chop/miter saw. Still have to sand, but maybe less.

Cool. Came out nice!

Gord, I made a similar designed bowl about 35 years ago in high school. Actually I think I saw the same design made by Egyptians over 2,000 years ago :>) Always enjoy your segmenting videos.

Well worked out Gord

BEAUTIFUL sled.. so many, though the slide very nicely, are big and rather bulky

Gord. Do you have plans for your segment width stop. I like the looks of it.

Hey Gord where would I find the calculations for open segmented bowls

Hi again Gord. I'm making a segmented bowl from some 100+ year old poplar wood salvaged from the organ at my church...it finally was beyond repair..As poplar is kind of a plain grained wood, I want to make a feature ring that has crosses in it. I've looked at all of your videos to see if perhaps you might have done this, but I can't see where you have. If you have a moment and could give me a few ideas as to how to construct the cross design into a blank, I sure would appreciate it. I've tried, but so far, I have just made a mess...very frustrating...This will be my first bowl using your floating bottom. Thanks again for that video.

Very nice. What grit do you use on disk sander?

Gord. Nice video. How do you cut your thin strips?

Gord, I was just curious if there was a limitation keeping you from cutting the angles off the original laminated piece then cutting it into segments rather than cutting the board into segments, then cutting angles?

good job gord like all ways

Gord great as usual!

If we were all perfect, life would be no fun, you do wonderful work

maestro...................

Instead of drawing each consequtive block in opposed direction, why not saw all in the same direction (long edges of rectangular touching another) and then flip every other block upside down? that would save you a tremendous amount of sawing and sanding as you could do all on your table saw.

Wow Gord!!!! How much time did that take? I had no idea woodturners went to those lengths. I'm impressed. As you know, I'm not a turner but appreciate those that are. I don't recall if I sent you this link before but this is what I do: www.WestphaliaWoodWorks.com Apologies for the shameless self promotion.
