I loved not having to listen to the machine noise or music. Your voice is very soothing for the ears.

I use to teach stained glass and at the end of the project I told my students " Pat yourself on the back for a good job because you have done something other only have only thought about doing. Now pick one thing on the project you would change and on the next project change it. This is how you get better." So I say GREAT JOB now change one thing and get better.

I like this project. First saw a segmented torus in a Kyle Toth video. Then discovered Malcolm Tibbets and was totally blown away by his work. I've turned several tori and find them both time consuming and very enjoyable as I figured out how to improve my approach. And as several others have commented I really do enjoy your voice and presentation. Been subscribed for at least a couple of years now and have enjoyed a number of your other creations.

Very nice, Ray! I turned a segmented torus many years ago - long before I started making videos.

Rubber bands sure are handy where other clamps won't work.

The torus is a (another) chapter of Geometry I never studied, I had to enquire, I thought first it was Latin for bull.

I did read the about you and your channel section so you can consider that yes, some of us look for what you put there to describe yourself and your channel as well.
