Techniques are provided to achieve the accuracy required in segmented work, and professional tips reveal how to create preliminary blueprints. Step-by-step instructions and hundreds of color photographs explain how to accomplish the often-complicated tasks involved with sphere turning, building a porthole-style ring, and inserting diamonds and round designs. Review: Highly Detailed - Excellent Step-By Step Instructions - But not for beginners - I can't recommend this book highly enough. The author provides clear concise step by step instructions and photos describing the steps involved in designing and constructing many styles of segmented turning. It covers cutting and gluing segments into rings flattening and joining rings, detailed steps for making a couple different types of feature rings and various jigs and shop techniques. I successfully used the book to make salad bowls and a couple vessels for Christmas gifts. However, it requires close reading, rereading and studying the illustrations to completely grasp the clarity and specificity of the techniques described. (or maybe that's just me) It is silent on the actual turning tools and techniques and assumes the reader already has basic turning skills. This book is fine for a beginner as long as they don't expect it to tell them how to use a bowl gouge. Get "Ellsworth on Woodturning" for that. FWIW, I've found the actual turning to be the easiest and quickest part of the process. Review: The Art of Segmented Wood Turning: A Step-by-Step Guide - All-n-all this is a very good book, takes you thru the little details, and simple to make jigs to ensure that the turning comes out right. Plenty of great color photos to inspire you and step by step directions The one thing it lacked was a section on on the proper lathe chisel to use and why. But this book is on segmented turning, Not the basics of how to use a lathe. If you want to learn how to use a lathe, take a basic lathe class. Then buy this book. Then you won't just be making bowls anymore, but "works of art." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #352,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #389 in Woodworking Projects (Books) #13,695 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 209 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Segmented Wood Turning: A Step-by-Step Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Nae98RJsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Detailed - Excellent Step-By Step Instructions - But not for beginners *by J***S on December 21, 2021* I can't recommend this book highly enough.
