Cool video and map. But what intrigued me was your voice. I’m not gonna lie I thought we were going to be watching some sort of documentary… lol. Seriously cool idea for a project.

That's bad ass!

very nice

Wow! Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

Carlos and I left last. But i am in town aleady. Just eating

Amazing. Creative!

Leave.

Masterpiece. Thanks for uploading the video.

What an amazing creation? Hats off to you sir.

Amazing work. But can you charge the price needed to cover all the work involved? Phil

Leave.

Leave it and move on...

awesome 👋👍

I can't believe how beautiful plywood can be. This is incredible!

Great effort, really enjoyed the video,

Very well done! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I had no idea that lasers could do anything other than point at objects. Therefore, this was very exciting to myself.

Thanks for a great very complicated build. Enjoyed your problem solving skills.

My favourite taurus woodworking video is the patterned wood bull by BM Sculptures.

I'd go with work on it untill you're satisfied. That's my vote. But at the same time, imagine NOT being satisfied with this piece of art.

Great work Ray, looks fantastic work - out of imperfection one finds perfection in many other ways.

Hope you are well Ray, im patiently waiting for your next video. Please return soon.

Is everything ok, I'm missing your videos. Hurry back please Ray.

I’m late to the party, but I must say I like videos that are not afraid to show mistakes. It makes us all REAL wood workers/turners. Nice job!

Magnífico.

1. epoxy→(transparent/colored/anti-uv/polarized) film: bind to veneer with heat (and maybe pressure?), uniform thickness, no bubbles; can stack a lot of layers with different kinds of film as you wish and then bind again 2. shorter and narrower stripes when binding (easier to get precise), but thicker (or multilayered) the final patterned sheet: the light play with changing viewing angles is what makes it cool, right? 3. stretch veneer when binding 4. glueing 45°: cut layers before 45° and join same side parts from adjacent layers, so the same sheet adjacent parts are joined, making it match more precisely; sand the glued surfaces; use right degree clamp 5. use led light diffuser film, leaving 1/2in between leds and film

Possibly your best piece yet. Be guided by your disasters as they may direct you in new directions. That's my secret. Let the creation flow though you and be not a forced manipulation. I'm nothing without my mistakes.

This is a truly amazing work of art and craftmanship, Ray. I am a mid-level turner and like to try new ideas. I have a couple of questions about the video. At 3:06 of the video you state that each half is glued together in a stack of 3 (I thought this was done earlier in the video. Is there some other gluing going on?) Then you cut the stack of 3 at right angles on the table saw into individual pieces (you make these cuts all the same size. Then how do you get the layers of the plywood to line up between pieces when you glue them together? It seems that the width of the table saw blade would shift the pattern on each piece) I hope these questions are not too foolish, but I would appreciate your advice.

One idea would be to laser out the veneers as rings. That way there's be less internal lathing and less waste (although you'd have to have a plan to use all the middles).

Incredible turning feat great job most unique wood projects have ever seen you Reatrue artisan 😊

Very clever jig! Nice work- I think it turned out great! I'm working with a 900x900mm bed but I don't have space to feed through since it has to sit in a corner- so it's kind of a trade off. Either way, it's just a 10 watt laser so until I'm up to a 20+ or a CO2 I probably won't utilize the whole area- still nice though. Prettiest place on Earth that I've seen in Person has to be the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The view from Pike's Peak was just plain epic in all directions- I felt like I was drunk after driving up to the top, I think I was focusing on the road, then once I got out I can see for Hundreds of Miles in all directions- kinda messed with my head a bit!

have this module 4 pin ? is compatible with atomstack A10 pro ?

Amazing! Realy inspiring me to try it

I wonder if it's possible to make a birch ply acoustic guitar? Patterned ply for the top would look amazing! Dunno how you'd do the sides, end/edge grain would look so good but would it be malleable enough? Would make for an interesting watch. Peace.

The Mahogany strip is great. Thanks. Beautiful !!!

very beautiful retro trophy. Great idea with Tetris and great implementation.

That has a very interesting look. I would certainly keep it.

Very clever jig and amazing work pulling it off. The result is lovely!

Incredible work Ray! And thanks for such an informative video..This is probably the most detailed out there for someone looking for help on how to do this! One question, did you use an app or online calculator to work out your angles and ring diameters etc? Many thanks, Ollie

Do you sell any of your items. I love this

Not very wise to put your arm into a spinning piece. If something went wrong, you might not have an Mr left.

I love it. I have just started making segmented bowls. I wanted to make one with jigsaw pieces, but could not figure a way to do it. Your project gave me further ideas but I might need to make one like yours to highlight how I might cut in jigsaw pieces.

Way cool

I'd love to recreate your lovely piece! Do you mind sharing the math behind your project? The furthest I got was finding helical length but the 3D aspect always trips me up.

Sbalorditivo, bel lavoro.

Love it!!!! what a h.. of a job!!!! But the result is wonderful!!!

I admire your patience and tenacity. A fine result from a problematic project.

Thank you for this video! I have been looking for it since I saw your first videos on the open helix corkscrew. This project has fascinated me. Now I see more detail in how you are doing it, and I am more determined to try to reproduce your work. I do have a different idea for the jig. I will provide video for my efforts - win or lose, and give credit to you either way. If I can reproduce it, I figure we both win. You have promoted your new cut, and independent research has proved it to be viable. I have seen many videos on segmented turning, and they fascinate me. But none have created the excitement that your project has for me. I hope that I can share positive results of my efforts, and congratulations to you for educating us all on how to do it. Thank you again.

Sorry Mayuko wood turning auto spell changed ir

you should check out Mayo wood turning he does great work with just wood some things blow your mind

I kinda hate these. I used to love woodturning in school, but it just went away as something that can't be started at home easily. I could have done now 20 years something I liked instead of all the other crap. :D
