Fascinating stuff!. thanks for the link. I wonder if he chooses not to use a PT or it's vital to have a sanded finish?

cheers,

I guess he has found a system that works for him, I note that he is talking working to 3 decimal places on dimensions for his smaller segments :shock:

Think he might use a sanded finish to give better adhesion :?:

The reason for using a sander is because you cannot plane a ring of segment when they have been glued. A ring needs to be flat and even to match up with the next ring. If the rings were not flat the turning would be wobbly
