Upright or upside down, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; do another ring and turn one up and the other down then decide. Great job.

As a beginner lathe turner, amazed - Your music was perfect.

Nice job on the feature ring. Good tip on waiting for the table saw blade to stop before proceeding. That’s true for the sliding miter saw too.

Thanks Gord you must have the patience of a saint to make those feature rings so I'll call you Saint Gord from now on. Good job by the way and I enjoyed your video

Great Info. I've got to make an urn for my wife's aunt and this will be a great pattern. Thanks very much.

You are a good teacher, I hope to try a feature ring in the near future. Thank you for all your videos

One of the best videos that I have seen Gord. Full of great tips, all I need now is a bench saw :-) Take care, John

Gord, I have to say, your feature ring examples are the most informative on the internet. I bought the Ray Allen book and Malcolm Tibbets book and was still a little confused. But after watching your videos it cleared up so much. Thanks!

Great teaching video Gord, can’t wait to see what you put it with. 👍🇺🇸

I built the nine part diamond bowl twice, 2nd time is the largest bowl I have made. Thank you. I guess it was 5 or 6 Year’s ago.

Hi Gord, Great video, as others have already said. SIMPLE????? I will watch this again and again. Take care Gord. Cheers, Huw

Good teaching video, now all I need is everything.

Excellent video with explanations of what to do. Very interesting and thanks for sharing.

Gord, That was great video! I cant believe when I saw what you posted it was a lot like what I am posting this week as far as feature ring and triangles I love the sandpaper on glass idea! great samples at the end

Thank you Gord enjoyed this I was wondering how to do segmented bowels and fancy designed bowels I will check out your other videos as well I learned a lot with just this video

patience + precision + perspiration = perfection. 👏👏👏

Very helpful, thanks. I was thinking near the end that I’d have to ask you how to cut the segment angles on taller feature rings and presto, you show a couple southwest designs that are very tall! Off to learn more, thanks for sharing,

Excellent easy to follow step by step demo!

Tip from pro segmenter, use tightbond thick and quick, it dries fast and clear and will not run like other yellow glue.

Great tutorial Gord. Would you ever part with the final pieces (Indian blankets etc featured at the end)? Gotta love the roughing gouge surfing! All the best. Ray

Good video. I always learn something from my buddy Gord.

Learned a lot from watching you show how you get your different shapes. Your other bowls you showed are awesome works of art and lots of Patience. Beautiful!!

Thanks for great instruction and a great video!👌👌👌

Thank you for the breakdown

That’s a great instructional video Gord! Thanks for the tips! Your turnings at the end are stunning!!

Great Video Gord I love the Feature Ring on all the pieces!!!

That's a good instructional video Gord I like that.👍👍 I don't know, but I don't call this simple,🤔 for you this may be a beginner level, but I have rewound the video a few times to understand it. And whether you should use the ring with the triangles up or down depends on the rest of the design you are going to use it in. Cheers, Hans Stay safe and keep turning

When do you think you'll post another video..? As a beginning turner I am left in awe.

It's a good thing we have people like you around to explain things, Gord! It didn't help, you understand, my pea sized brain is full of a lifetime of useless information. Besides, I've already forgotten what I just learned from you but it was darned interesting while I was learning it and not half-bad as I was forgetting it! You are a great teacher! Well explained, easy to understand, clear photography. A really good video, my friend! Have a great evening! See ya next time! Phil

Going to look great in a future piece.

Good stuff, Gord!

Well they certainly asked the right guy when it comes to seg feature rings!! Was good to see you making another one, your the one that got me hooked on segmented rings. great to see you once again Gord!!

Great job. Can't wait to give it a try!

That's great Gord, very informative. Thank you for sharing.

Make a piece with two rings, one up, one down😉 Absolutely love your video format and your methods! I spend too much time on hold with doctor offices, I’m sure your background music from nine years ago can’t be worse than what the VA uses while you’re on hold 😂😉 Thanks, again for the great lessons and inspiration, Gord!

Thanks Gord! I'm still a new turner and haven't ventured into segments. This is great information for when I do. Thanks so much!!!

I watched all of the diamond vessel series and enjoyed it a ton! I don’t recall any production issues! Another great video Gord, excellent as always. Thanks for sharing and stay safe buddy!

Nice job on the feature ring and I appreciate your attention to safety on the project!

Oh what Beautiful pieces of art

Thanks for all the good tips and information.

Thank you very much for a very informative video. I am impressed by many aspects, techniques and tips you demonstrate, but none more so than the shear superior level of patience. I’m hooked

Points up, thanks for your input on setting up thr feature ring.

Awesome information thanks so much take care my friend stay safe and god bless

Great teaching points Gord.

Very well done!! Watched every second of this video and enjoyed it. Thanks for educating.

Nice video Gord! I have yet to try a segmented project. I'd like to but not sure my patience is up for it just yet!😃👍🏻👍🏻

My self... I'd make a long strip then cut it to size. Much easier glue up.

Your are a true artisan

Thanks Gord, very well explained. I do a lot of segments and each time I learn more and more. This looks like you could easily convert into a sailboat. Thanks Again for a great video.l

Another good one Gord. Working with angles is one thing that throws a lot of people. I think you explained the process very well. I believe your other segmented videos cover the angle process quite well also. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gord...really good stuff... Thanks for sharing... stay safe...press on 😎 Joe

Great tutorial.. Thanks

Great explanation I have to try this one day the only segments I've ever done was gluing palette boards together thanks for sharing Gord keep turning stay safe👍👍👍👍

Marvelous pieces Gord, I always learn a lot from you! You are very creative and a great teacher! Stay well and cheers from MT

Beautiful work I do love to learn how to do this 👍🏽

Very informative, thanks.

Great video, Gord. Even though I don't do turning, I just had to watch to admire your woodworking skills in addition to hour amazing turning skills. There's that little guy goofing off again. Was he a proper social distance? Take care. Bill

Great video Gord .. Thank you very much for the teaching .. you explaind it very well.. Stay safe // Kim

Superb sir, just superb!

at 17:08, I was biting my nails .. very well produced video Gord.

Always enjoyable

Good demo.

Gord I love watching you make these segments it's something I haven't tried yet but maybe in the near future I will give it a go. Thanks for an amazing video yet again ps tell your better half I said hello and hope both of you are keeping safe and well 👍👍👍

As I made bigger and bigger over 20 inches in diameter segmented turnings I experienced the same issues of accuracy you struggled with . I bought a Noblex miter saw from Sweden , accurate to 2 arc seconds of angle , a bit fidelity to get everything setup perfectly , but once you have it dialed in the milling of your feedstock is the only differential error your going to experience. It’s so tight you just can rub the joint and not clamp it if you use PVA glue!

Gord, that was quite enjoyable...I am anxious to watch the videos in your links. Also, would you happen to have a video or instructions on how you made your stop block...I really need one of those.

sehr schön!

Just watched the video. You sand the edges of the halves. I customized my wedgie sled with longer bolts on the saw side. I remove the two angled fences then put the 1/2 ring on the sled with a fence on top to hold it. Use a colored marker on the ends and sneak up with the blade until the ends are flat. Only removing a fraction to get them to meet. I tried sanding but ended up rounding the ends so went to that method. Vic

very helpful

Good tutorial Gord👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎

Thanks!

This was very informative and answered one question/problem/challange i have to do any segments at all. Great video Gord, i enjoyed it 😁👍🏼👏 PS: do not fall off of that roughing gouge 🤣

That was a great video Gord. I loved every minute of it. What table saw do you have there? It sure is smooth sounding. I will say it again...you put out top notch videos even with that clown showing off surfing on a gouge LOL You know I loved that part as well. Gary

Gord, I think that series on segmented turning is the very best on You-Tube. It is the one I used to turn my first feature ring segmented bowl. Also, is there a way to add a photo to a You-Tube comment?

Wow, what a great video (the music was great as well). What was the round thing that you used to glue up your project? The roughing gouge feature was pretty unique. Have that particular image as a feature ring. Lol

I was totally fascinated with watching you do this, but you left me back at the water fountain hahaha. I love watching segment stuff. But I get lost with the angles 😥. One question... will the angles be the same regardless of how large the ring is? Thanks for another great video Gord! Stay safe, Vickie

The miter gauge you are using what brand is it

I've only recently gotten interested in wood turning (other than a lamp I made in high school in 1965) and segmented turning in particular. And I've just discovered your channel ! Oh My do you have an enormous amount of content.....I've watched a couple and gotta say along with so many other comments - your videos and explanations are just excellent ! One question, your' stop blocks on the table saw, are these homemade or bought ? They appear to slide in the channel and adjust easily. Could you shed a little light on how you made them or where you may have bought ?! Very much appreciated. Oh...math, dang this is gonna be my potential downfall, although in one video you said the miter gauge was at 90 degrees and turning it to 30 gave you a 60 degree angle. My brain said OH, 90 - 30 = 60. So maybe I'll survive after all.

Too dangerous on the table saw. The reason for make a long strip. Then use the wedgie sled.
