The Woodturning Forum - Woodturner's Resource

Ron Sardo WR Administrator WR Patron Offline Chief cook and bottle washer Posts: 9,674 Drums Pennsylvania USA PM 3520	Poll Mar 24^th, 2013 at 9:47am Lately I've noticed a lot of segmented turning on Woodturner's Resource and I'm thinking maybe we should add a new board. Give me your opinion on what you think and what you would like to see here.

I agree that although segmented turning can have it own following, it doesn't yet seem to overwhelm the existing forum. I enjoy the cross section of topics in one place, variety is the spice of life

I would hope that consideration is given to sufficient responders who actually post a response to this thread and not just an anonymous poll vote results. Does the Gallery have a Section dedicated to Segmented turning?

I have to agree with Walt on this point. Although the turning aspect of segmented work is much the same, the construction of the piece has countless methods and outcomes. A segmenting forum would allow interested members to get more in depth into specific areas.
I guess we'll see what the poll has to say.

But I read almost every section now and do not see a reason for another thread. I like reading about segmented work and how it's done, but won't be getting intoit. Glenn J.

I'm with Glenn...
There are some really wonderful segmented pieces that show tremendous talent/skill. I just wonder if creating a new section will mean more work for the moderator(s) than the benefits gained. I could be all wet (now there is a high probability!), Ron... but to me it's one of those "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it" things.

Just like we have a board for finishes and for marketing this would be a specialized board

The idea is for those that are interested in segmenting can learn and/or share their tips, jigs, plans and their accomplishments, By starting this new board all the segmenting threads will be in one place and hopefully easier to do a search for a particular topic.

If this forum is created there will be two new moderators that have experience in segmenting.

Tom Coghill WR Addict Offline Turning, when I am done with my chores. Posts: 1,128 The Villages Florida USA Gender: Oneway 2436, 3 HP 220V, now with Stainless Ways	Re: Poll Reply #11 - Mar 25^th, 2013 at 11:34am Segmented turning (ST) has aspects that are different than a lot of the work that I do. I am not that interested (currently) with ST, but I may want to look there when figuring out how best to add something to an existing turing (simular to a glue-up for ST). I think that adding it would help people find those topics quicker.

I reasoned that there were finishing, Tools and the like, why not segmented turnings. I won't be upset if segmented turnings are not included...It just seemed like a new harmless, idea.

It would make it easier for members to find specific info. I re-read Toms post and his point about related techniques is exactly why I do woodworking. Walts last project used different diciplines and that keeps it interesting. My 2 cents.

I am facinated by those who do segmented work, and think it would focus on that type of turning and keep it from being lost in the crowd. Just my $0.02
