I make my cuts on an miter saw, but keep track of which side of the blade each cut was made on (I mark them "L" or "R" according to which side of the blade the cut was made. One piece will have one end, or cut, marked "L" and the other end marked "R". Then when I assemble, I always match an "L" end with a "R" end. In my way of thinking, if there's a slight error in the saw setting, each will cancel the other out and you'll have a perfect 45, 36 or whatever, degree angle. I know I'm not the first to think of this, but I seldom have to adjust any joints. If I do, I write it off to sloppy cutting. Now, if someone will help me with my glue-ups with ten thumbs... Thanks, Ernie, good video.

Thanks, Ernie, good video.
thank you for explaining the titebond's as well.
Thanks, great video. Straight to the point as well
Nice video, Ernie is such a great teacher.
Thank you for explaining how to make this !
I like Ernie. Good teacher.
Thanks for sharing the information!
An excellent explanation of creating a ring for a segmented bowl.
Thank you for the blue tape tip. Have a great day.
I like this dude. Subscribed
Genius!! Paint the danger zone red!
As if the saw kerf wasn't enough.
Better sleds are out there....Wedgy sled for one.....this is a good explanation of the geometry.....segmenting is a world of it own........thanks
Helpful video would be calculating the size of segments and size of individual pieces for a particular size bowel
this is where i struggle also... kinda a big deal to start segmenting.
I saw you can use a cnc and get the perfect segments but, they're redunculously expensive for a dependable one as far as I know.
So when you're glueing the segments together you're glueing endgrain to endgrain?
Yes, but as you build up the shape, you are also gluing the edge grain to edge grain.
Which is the best option for the wood, to prevent it from cracking later ?
In the case of segmented using dried, clear wood really gives you engineered wood that is immune to checking.
How do you figure length of ea segment?
