Great stuff Stephen, I have certainly enjoyed your clear narrative on the planning phase of your vase. I’ve gone away with a few ideas, well done and thanks again.
+Jesse Evett Thank you Jesse. Mee too!! I did the acrylic videos because some viewers had asked me to do them. I can't do everything people want me to do but I try to get around too as much as I can.
+Charles “Tim” Reicks Thank you Charles. Lol, It really is not as bad as it seems. Once you do it a few times you get the hang of it and it is like riding a bike. Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 will be up soon.
Nice, this is going on my list of things to try once i get better at turning things other than pens. So far I've figured out my issues with bowl turning are wood quality and tool sharpness. Thanks for the videos they are helping me figure this turning stuff out. Oh and your intro is looking and sounding a lot more polished.
+TomStuckinthesouth Thank you Tom. Glad to hear you are still enjoying my channel and finding it helpful. I have a new video editor and am trying to figure out all its features. Thank you for the compliment on the intro.
This was well worth waiting for, Stephen. I've seen quite a few videos about segmented turning but the initial design phase was generally glossed over in favour of going straight to the use of some software to draw and calculate all the details. The result for me was pretty fuzzy understanding of the process. Not so fuzzy anymore. Thanks!
+Gord Roberts Thanks Gord. Glad you enjoyed this part of the project. Well if the computers ever go down you will be one of the few who can still figure segmenting. Lol! Thanks again my friend.
Thank you sir, I certainly liked and learned. Man I do thank my stars for the metric system though, it sure does save the conversion business from decimal to fractions of an inch !! Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks again.
+John Lewis Thank you John. Glad you enjoyed this project and found it helpful. I have been wanting to switch over to metrics on projects like this. Problem is finding the measuring equipment around here. I will certainly keep looking though. I did find a metric tape measure but am a little skeptical on its accuracy. I like the steel rulers when doing this type of work.
Hi Stephen, just worked out a design for my latest project and the way i did it was to scribe circles onto a scrap piece of plywood and marked out the angles using a 10" dia protractor, i then scribed circles at 1/2" intervals which gave me what length of segment etc i needed, by using a half design like your vase it was easy to calculate the segments, hope that makes sense, cheers Dave
Thank you Dave. I had to read it twice but I think I have your method figured out. It should be a very reliable method. Just goes to show there is more than one way to do nearly everything. Thank you for sharing this method.
+987P123 Thank you sir. It is really not that bad after you do it a few times. I think I am going to start using the metric system to cut out the conversion step. Glad you enjoyed this project. I hope you found it helpful.
+Stephen Ogle guess it'll make me quite more confident, if I decide to give segmenting a go, thank you :) I can't wait to see the outcome of your project though. keep up the good work and take care, sir
For ring 10 -it was accidentally typed in as 4.962 and supposed to be 3.562. Not trying to be 'correcting guy', but I'm trying to make this same vase and pointing it out if anyone is using the same numbers. I re-figured the feature ring 10 and I think the #'s should be: 7 1/8 --- 1/2 --- 1 7/8 --- 27 --- 5/8 Thanks again for the video! Love your work!
Enjoyed the video as I believe I am going to try my hand at this art. Question: You calculated Layer 11 and wrote down; Segment Length = 1-27/32", and Total Board Length = 43-1/2". Next you went to show using apps for calculating Level 10 and now the previously calculated number for Level 11 have been changed. Segment Length now shows 3-7/32" and Total Board Length shows 43-1/2". I don't understand why they changed to such a large number after you showed the calculation? Please explain one of the errors.
+Gil Grace Thank you Gil. I am sure that I could possibly find something printable on the internet but I just have not tried it yet. I am actually thinking of converting over to metrics and get away from all this conversion stuff. Maybe that could be my correct answer. It would take away one step where mistakes are often made.
+Stephen Ogle I've tried the metric system for some turning project too. It does make things easier to calculate. Until the US changes over to the worldwide system there will still be conversion to do. There is a man from your area that tried to do just that, but there was too much resistance. We can only deal with the conversions for now.
Hi Stephen, I guess I'm a little slow on getting this. I have always been able to see how to do something like this and do it. But something I'm missing. Maybe one day I can get it. Do know anymore video like this..
Thank you John. I do not know if the channel is still on UA-cam but look for Brian Higgin's channel. I used to have a video on these calculations also. Hope it helps. Also, look into the phone apps and computer programs. Take care.
Hi Stephen, sorry for the bad explanation, a better one would be that once you have drawn the side view, you then need a plan view looking down through the object which is just a series of rings, you already know the diameter and how many segments you have chosen so its just a matter of measuring the segment length x the amount to give you a cutting list for each ring, i hope that is a better way to see things. My next project only took about 20 minutes to work out with a little extra for saw cuts and mistakes etc, cheers Dave
Thanks again Dave. I understood exactly what you were describing. Although it is a completely different way to get the same results, it is a great idea and should work perfectly.
Please could you do a quick video on how to calculate all this using millimeters.For us poor Europeans It was never taught in school and i never bothered to learn it (and im not starting now at 53)!!! just a ring or 2 will do fine..
Stephen, you made a mistake in your calculations 3 9/16 is 3.562 instead of 3.962. Thanks for the instructions though its a lot easier then I used to do it.
+andre routheut Thank you Andre. I tell you. I need a bigger ruler. I have a very hard time trying to decipher the markings even with my reading glasses. I will go back and fix that on the project chart. Thank you for letting me know.
It was actually typed in as 4.962 so he accidentally added an inch also. Not trying to be 'correcting guy', but I'm trying to make this same vase and pointing it out if anyone is using the same numbers :) Love the videos!!!
Thank you Peter. I had not actually planned a video covering the metric version. However, I have started doing most of my designing with the metric system and have found it to be much simpler. I can not say when but my next segmented video project I will do in metric. In the mean time the methods and formulas are the same. Hope this helps.
Great stuff Stephen, I have certainly enjoyed your clear narrative on the planning phase of your vase. I’ve gone away with a few ideas, well done and thanks again.
I'm glad you're back to doing good working again.
+Jesse Evett Thank you Jesse. Mee too!! I did the acrylic videos because some viewers had asked me to do them. I can't do everything people want me to do but I try to get around too as much as I can.
Thank you for sharing a skill that there isn't a ton of visual info on! i enjoy watching your videos Mr. Ogle! God Bless
Great tutorial Stephen. Very in depth and easy to understand. Can't wait for the next one.
+Stu Brearley Thank you Stu. I am glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I hope to get the next one up in a couple of days.
Now this is one I might have to watch a few times and take notes. I enjoyed the video and good instructions. Will be watching. Thanks

Nicely explained; enjoyable and useful.
The calculation process is interesting. Waiting for the continuation. Like!

Fantastic video, can't wait to try this!
Been looking for someone to explain this to a rookie. Thanks pal.

I have trouble reading the fine print on my steel rule too. I found a decimal equivalent chart from a pair of micrometers that is much easier to read.
+Gil Grace Thank you Gil. I am sure that I could possibly find something printable on the internet but I just have not tried it yet.

Why do you exactly need a video for the metric system? It works the same way, you just have to use cm/mm instead of inches.
Stephen, you made a mistake in your calculations 3 9/16 is 3.562 instead of 3.962. Thanks for the instructions though its a lot easier then I used to do it.
+andre routheut Thank you Andre. I tell you. I need a bigger ruler. I have a very hard time trying to decipher the markings even with my reading glasses. I will go back and fix that on the project chart. Thank you for letting me know.
You actually read the correct number, then you typed it in wrong. I was hoping you caught this before you got too far along.
+Josef Roesler Ha, Thank you. I did go back and find a couple of mistakes. I think I have them corrected now. We shall see in the next video.
It was actually typed in as 4.962 so he accidentally added an inch also. Not trying to be 'correcting guy', but I'm trying to make this same vase and pointing it out if anyone is using the same numbers :) Love the videos!!!
Amigo como faço para entra neste programa de caculos de gomos, grato amigo.
Thank you Francisco. Glad you enjoyed this project my friend.
15 TANGENT = .2679 X 7.0 = 1.8756. For me this is better.
All I do is diameter X TANGENT.
Could you please redo this video using the METRIC system for us poor Europeans
Thank you Peter. I had not actually planned a video covering the metric version. However, I have started doing most of my designing with the metric system and have found it to be much simpler. I can not say when but my next segmented video project I will do in metric. In the mean time the methods and formulas are the same. Hope this helps.
