Way to go. Again your attention to detail amazes me. I'm going to build a stop block like you have on your table saw. I've seen several similar, but not as sturdy as yours. I've built several of the segment cutters. The guy's see how great they work and they all want one. I finally built a couple extra and just show them how to put the runner on it and how to adjust everything. Haven't sold any, but everyone I've given one too sure enjoys using it. Haven't made a feature ring yet but some of the guys at the local club have made some that are pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.

@@GordonRock1 Hi again, When gluing up the laminations are there any concerns about glue set-up time? About how much time do you have to glue up the laminations?I know this differs with what type of glue you use.I've been using Titebond III and it sets up pretty fast when doing this type of glue-up.

@GordonRock1

Hi Thomas, There is a limit to how long you have before the glue sets up. I don’t know what the time is for each different glue. I use Titebond Original most of the time. I try to get my rings glued and clamped within 20 minutes and have never had any problems. Occasionally I have taken longer than that with rings that have more segments or are more complex but still haven’t had any problems. I just checked their website and they claim the assembly time for Original is 4 - 6 minutes. Titebond III is 8 - 10 minutes. I guess I might be pushing my luck!! Oh well, so far so good! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Happy turning, .....Gord

Hi again Gord. I'm making a segmented bowl from some 100+ year old poplar wood salvaged from the organ at my church...it finally was beyond repair..As poplar is kind of a plain grained wood, I want to make a feature ring that has crosses in it. I've looked at all of your videos to see if perhaps you might have done this, but I can't see where you have. If you have a moment and could give me a few ideas as to how to construct the cross design into a blank, I sure would appreciate it. I've tried, but so far, I have just made a mess...very frustrating...This will be my first bowl using your floating bottom. Thanks again for that video.

Instead of drawing each consequtive block in opposed direction, why not saw all in the same direction (long edges of rectangular touching another) and then flip every other block upside down? that would save you a tremendous amount of sawing and sanding as you could do all on your table saw.
