Segmented Wood Turning (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) Review: Helping the aged. - I started Woodturnig two years ago at the age of 82 and have been very successful at local shows with my segmented bowls. I have been attracted to views of open segmented turning so I purchased a book on the subject by William Smith. The contents are so easy to follow and in great detail, so I made all of his suggested jigs and my first attempt at construction was straight forward without hiccups. This book is a must for any aspiring turner. Review: Unique information hampered only by authors writing skills - At first blush, you might say that it's impossible to turn something on a lathe that has this many holes in it. But once you stop to consider, you realize that it not only can be done, but it will get a lot of ohs and awes from those that see your finished work. There are step by step full-color photos and instructions guiding you in cutting, assembling, and turning the projects along with a large photo selection of items that you can pattern. There are tables informing the segment length and cutting angle for numerous number of segment/ring. There are multiple templates with instruction so you can cut out (or better yet, preserve your book and make copies of them) and use them as gauges for proper placement of each piece of wood as you build up the rows. One weakness I observed is that the author is not very good at either teaching nor documenting how to build the fixtures needed. If you already are experienced at making your own slide tables for your table saw, you may or may not be interested in his adjustable angle slide. Just don't expect any help from the author's written description or photos. And the jig you need to construct to get the proper spacing between two consecutive pieces can be very frustrating to construct. Especially, until you realize that you are looking at pictures at least three separate, unrelated fixtures. But, if you muddle through, you will be pleased with what you can do. While, perhaps not for the faint hearted, it is a worthy addition to any wood turners library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 076431601X | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,124,792 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,143 in Woodworking Projects (Books) #17,832 in Engineering (Books) #43,620 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (99) | | Dimensions | 0.22 x 0.25 x 0.28 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780764316012 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0764316012 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 64 pages | | Publication date | September 24, 2002 | | Publisher | Schiffer Craft | ## Images ![Segmented Wood Turning (Schiffer Book for Woodworkers) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k-y4hgX2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helping the aged. *by N***Y on December 12, 2011* I started Woodturnig two years ago at the age of 82 and have been very successful at local shows with my segmented bowls.

I think it is the best segment wood turning book I have read. The directions and the photos match perfectly and clearly. I recommend this book to anybody who wishes to venture out into open segmenting wood turning. Congratulations to the author who is available to answer any queries. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9212773-segmented-wood-turning-schiffer-book-for-woodworkers](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9212773-segmented-wood-turning-schiffer-book-for-woodworkers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
