Tornado Globe Part 1 - Designing the Globe with 3D Design PRO and Woodturner PRO

The Tornado Globe is a beginner's project that will contain videos showing each step required to make an open segment vessel. The first video shows how to use my software 3D Design PRO and Woodturner PRO to add rings and size them correctly to speed the process of cutting segments. Trial versions of this software are downloadable from woodturnerpro.com

Thanks Lloyd, very good design intro.

[@lloyd32552]

The program is named Woodturner PRO and there is more information at woodturnerpro (dot) com. Click the 'Front Page' link and then click 'Software' in the sub-menu for more information.
A 30 day trial is available. While you're there, click on the links to the Gallery to see examples of projects users have submitted using the software.

Hello Lloyd, I have used Woodturner Pro for several times. Now I want to make a globe and therefore I found this tutorial so useful. But when I started with 3DP and tried to copy a circle jpg as background picture, the program dosn't allow it. The message ist "Unable to load image". Do I use an old version ?

[@314thomas314]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have replicated your steps and have a design but I'm stumped on the wall thickness. I don't know what it is or how to change it.

I thought you would start out showing a finished project so I would know, what to expect, what you're talking about, am I interested in watching.

Where can i have that program .it is wonderfull

[@jefferyjones373]

This looks like a great video but the audio makes it hard to watch. It really sounds muffled.

Lloyd i am having trouble finding the other parts to this video? Are they available?

[@lloyd32552]

ScottMcNorton There are only two additional videos for the Tornado Globe and they are for cutting segments for open segment projects. The first one is for a jig for the miter saw and the second is for a table saw jig. Here are the links to the two videos:Miter Saw: ua-cam.com/video/m88LGFQOjEMT/v-deo.htmlable Saw: ua-cam.com/video/Z-sALtLqrhwI/v-deo.html'm going to be tied up for the next couple months due to some family health issues and two graduations, but will be making more video tutorials after that.Lloyd

[@ScottMcNorton]

Thank you lloyd. Have fun at the graduations. Hope all is well with the family. I will be watching for the videos they are very informative and very helpful for us begginers. Thanks again.

why would you use a tutorial of a design that a beginner with the software is least likely to turn? how about a bowl or a vessel.
