Segmented turning usually requires the construction and use of a number of different jigs to precisely cut and combine the woods being used for the turning. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of Segmented Wood Turning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e covers all of the required jigs and each step-by-step process involved in making and using them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccuracy is critical in segmented work because the number of pieces that must accurately fit together can magnify an error. Tibbetts explains in detail how to achieve the necessary accuracy both in cutting and combining the many individual pieces. The reader will not only learn the secrets of accurately cutting segments but will also learn about ring segments and building and using a sanding jig, as well as a sled jig for the table saw. The design process is explained, as is the necessity of creating a blueprint of your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of Segmented Wood Turning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e also contains sections of interest on stave construction, lamination trickery, and how to build zigzag rings and diamonds.
