Segmented bowl jig

[Don Ratcliff]

Someone was making the jigs a while back and I can't remember who.

Will the jiggy party please admit their expertise. if you won't publicly admit your greatness in jig mastery please pm me so I can start the long con of acquiring said jig.

What kind of jig, Don? (In other words, what does it do?)

 

[Tclem]

It jigs and it jags and it does the hokey pokey

It jigs and it jags and it does the hokey pokey

So that's what it's all about...

The way it worked was when you had the segments cut and placed on the flat jig you would turn the jig and it would center everything. I have seen them used in videos before and somebody posted one they were building for I think @El Guapo and when they had time to make another would let me know.

This jig takes an expert so I know it wasn't @Tclem

Oh....that was the off center jig, I think you're thinking of...

Don, you might be thinking of the Longworth chuck that I built for @Bean_counter and the next one is for @El Guapo. You had said you wanted one when I had time. It doesn't do what you are talking about though. That does sound interesting. Tony

I have made a lot of segmented turnings (it was a phase I went through) lol. and never used a jig, but I can see where they would be nice. Plus I always used 12 segment rings so 15 degrees is easy to find, most chopsaws have a detent for it.
This is what I use mostly, simple but effective, I guess it's a basic jig, but you will need a crosscut sled to use it with. I put down a piece of masking tape to set the length of the segment, then bring the tip of the segment up to it to make my cut...

disregard if this doesn't apply to your query...
