Segmented bowl software question.

Alan Tolchinsky

>Hi All, I was wondering if anybody here uses one of the segmented bowl software programs for their bowls? They seem like a good idea but do they work well and are they worth any trouble in setting them up? Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks Alan in Md. with 50 degrees. Yahooooeeeeee!

>I agree with Stuart. I have been using WTP, and 3D Pro for a couple of years.

It is relatively cheap, easy to use, and Lloyd Johnson provides excellent support.

I have tried all the others, and found them harder to use, and more expensive.

>Hi Alan,

Just for your information, the Capitol Area Woodturners (CAW) is meeting this Saturday and our demonstrator will focus on segmented turning. I highly encourage you to come for a visit. I am certain you can pick up a few ideas. We are a large but very friendly group. It is about a 45 minute drive for me from Columbia. E-mail me if you need any information.
