In this video I'm woodturning a torus using patterned plywood segments made from a scrap sheet of 18mm birch plywood. I've never made a torus before, so I was curious as to how easy or difficult the entire process was.
The aim was woodturing a patterned plywood torus with a plywood diamond pattern that was faithfully repeated throughout.
Apologies about the lack of machine noise. I think I turned off that sound track before rendering this video and didn't realise till long after. Please play some funky music to match the video!

I use to teach stained glass and at the end of the project I told my students " Pat yourself on the back for a good job because you have done something other only have only thought about doing. Now pick one thing on the project you would change and on the next project change it. This is how you get better." So I say GREAT JOB now change one thing and get better.

I like this project. First saw a segmented torus in a Kyle Toth video. Then discovered Malcolm Tibbets and was totally blown away by his work. I've turned several tori and find them both time consuming and very enjoyable as I figured out how to improve my approach.

A true work of art. I love that the torus is handcrafted. I love the fact that it is perfectly imperfect. I love the variety of the diamond designs. Amazing, mysterious and endlessly complex. Just being able to make this beautiful creation boggles me. Congratulations on a work of art well done. I had a scupture teacher who said your craftsmanship should be so good that no one notices it. You have done that in Spades...or should I say Diamonds. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

Good god man, this is off the chain. I cannot imagine being that patient! I think you did an excellent job of retaining the pattern. Ultimately, all tools have a degree of variance, and you can't complete eliminate that error margin from humans no matter how close you get to perfect. I think it looks fantastic.

Very nice, Ray! I turned a segmented torus many years ago - long before I started making videos. I glued up staves of walnut, maple, and cherry into a hollow "log" and then cut isosceles segments from this log with miter saw to form the blank. Rubber bands sure are handy where other clamps won't work.

Hi Ray! Wow, another epic project! Many thanks for sharing it including your explanatory comments. I can always appreciate your thinking proces and the calculations involved. Mr Alm is also on my subscription list and I have to admit that working with plywood has its esthetic results. That said, the plywood I see lying in the stores has a terrible misaligned pattern of it’s own with many voids. I see that the ply you are using seems rather OK, yet, despite your precision, careful planning and fine handling it seems impossible to get the perfect pattern alignment. Don’t get me wrong, the final result looks absolutely smashing and is worth many kudo’s. For me, trying to make it from solid wood with the natural pattern of the grain would also lead to a satisfactory result. Take care, __Frank

@RayWhitbyCreations Жыл бұрын

Hey Frank! The plywood I found in the workshop must have been furniture grade and therefore few voids and misaligned sheets. Things would have gone from bad to worse if I used anything less!

Although it is clearly a modern item, my first impression was that the patterned torus had some kinship to the ancient Celtic artifacts I've seen in the British Museum. However, my next thoughts coupled to what you said about working in nanotech and related to magnetic domains and crystalline structure. Good on you for creating a piece that has so many meanings and interpretations.

And also block copolymers in directed self-assembly! It's probably a subconscious element to my work, my nano research days. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts Gregory! All the best. Ray

This is pretty impressive! It was a little distracting though, that you sound like one of these 90ies radio hosts who played smooth jazz after midnight ... 😉

My voice has received a lot of interest, both positively and negatively. I could just have the ambient background noise and it turns out I had switched the master sound off when rendering this video. I would like KZfaq to allow multi audio tracks and then can offer heavy metal soundtracks with no voiceover!! Appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching. All the best. Ray

@@RayWhitbyCreations Oh, there is nothing wrong with your voice. I just didn't expect such a sonorous timbre in a technical environment. But I get used to it. If I would hear a heavy metal soundtrack instead I'd be away as fast as a hunted hare.
