Thanks so much Alan. Happy you liked it Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

That is a very good question. For sure the lathe is easier to line the rings up.Takes less time because with a cone or cole jaws they are centered and you do not have to deal with that. Other reasons: With something this small the lathe works great. Where as bigger rings I may use the glue press. With the smaller rings I turn the ring round and flatten it sooner. There is less to turn off to get them round so there is not the stress of a larger ring. But I will use the lathe on larger ones. I may use coles jaws to get them lined which can apply pressue to the joint. If I do not get the cole jaws out then I will use a flat board to put pressure against that ring to get a good joint. But what you are doing I would use the lathe. And if needed you can use a flat board to get equal pressure. Hope this helps, Gary

I pick the side I want to be top and hot glue a tenon on it. Then flatten the bottom and hot glue a tenon on it. Flip and clean up the top and then cut the rings.

Thank you Todd I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching. Gary

Thanks. Not sure there are any books to let you know how much a green turning will warp. I like how this one warped. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Jim. They are 3S printed using PLA plastic

Cheers Gary. I'm not able to do that so looks like I'll be turning wooden ones. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How so?

Thank you Jerry I appreciate you watching and commenting. Gary

Not really. What II did was cut a step on the inside of the bottom ring then glued a disk in place. The disk is so small there should not be any movement that will cause any issues. I did the same thing on the out side of the bottom disk. I have made many turings and have only done one actual floating bottom. I have one that is 50 years old that does not have a floating bottom and it is fine. Maybe it is the humidity here in Oregon.

Thank you Ian. Happy you enjoy my videos. So my turning just stack up here. Almost any flat surface. Been giving some away. Just do not want to get into selling. That has to be approved by the wife. She would like to keep them all. This one is not going anywhere. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Valerie it was a lot of fun to do. I have a few weeks where I can try and get my shop in better order. Now that my aliments are mostly fine I plan on it anway. I have a nice work bench in front of my table saw and cleared it off yesterday. Just so I do not have to use the table saw for a flat area LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thanks Roger. I have this dream( nite mare) of using some leftover pieces from other segments. I have done multiple feature rings when something is difficult. Just because it is all set up. Might be the FranklinSeg lol. Gary
