Picture of the sanded 12 segment ring. 16 segment ring is still under the hose clamp

That is the process as described by all the material at YouTube University. Just finished making the "Weggie Sled", plans downloaded at "segeasy.com" Cut a twelve segment ring and a 16 segment ring out of scrap. Glued up the segments right off the Shopsmith, NO gaps what so ever....

Very slick! I’ve been wanting to try modeling a segmented bowl in Fusion, but haven’t done it yet. BTW, your model displays and manipulates just fine in Safari on my iPad. Hadn't tried on the tablet only my computer. Practice makes perfect and did another shaped bowl today in less than a quarter of...

Here is a public share link for a segmented bowl model I just finished with Fusion 360. There is a great deal to learn in order to get up to speed but with each project comes increased proficiency. Having a complete 3D model and the ability to section view the parts, verify dimensions is a pretty po...

Been a Sketchup user for many years. With that said I've had the opportunity to use Fusion 360 for about six weeks now and I must say that it is an incredibly robust software package.

I may be confused but the only Free about Fusion is for either a 30 day trial or "FREE SOFTWARE FOR EDUCATION Get a free 3-year software license for students and educators. Make anything with help from Autodesk Education." From the Autodesk website... Annual subscription is $300/yr or $40/...

Pro level on Sketchup for about $100 per year verses $300 per year for Fusion 360 from Autodesk. Kind of a no brainer. As for all this "Cloud based computing" just more ways to force people into a very expensive regime.
