I want to make a segmented vase for a final project at school I've been touring for about two years so not beginner but not too hard either . mostly want help with the angles to cut to make a big small or medium circle thanks

Watch Wood by Toth, he makes a ton of these
i have i just cant find the angles
>>1178951
(3.14 x radius )/ number of segments= mahor radius of each segment. (Length of block to cut)
(360/ number of segments )/2 = cut angles. ( angle to miter on previously cut block)
Glue up the segments into rings using titebond 3.
Glue rings together.
Let dry.
Turn.
Finsih.
Enjoy

Shouldnt have skipped geometry class
>>1178951
retarded?
360 divided by the number of pieces you want.
>>1178951
Sketch out some profiles. It shouldn't be hard depending on the size/shape of the vase you could even do it 1:1.

i did 30 degree angles if i remember right.
haven't Turned anything in years though

my 1st one was 6 sided but didn't work well

What's keep all the pieces together? just the glue?
Why not just glue sticks of wood together to make a large block of wood then turn it as though it was a solid piece of wood?

Which it would have.
>>1181981
wrong dipshit
if you just glue a pile of sticks together and turn it the grain will be fucked and the squares oblong on the sides
>>1181985
Yes, and it would have that pattern on both sides, being symmetrical.

Wow those are really, r they difficult to make?
>>1182038
Why didn't you post that in the first place? Oh I get it, you're just trolling. Guess what, it still has radial symmetry, just on two points.
