Segmented Turning Press - jcredding - 01-27-2018
I’ve been wanting to do some segmented turning, so today decided to build a press for gluing up rings. It was a nice quick project, but now I have no more excuses.

Nice work. You'll have to show us your first project from using it.

Just thinking here.... If glue ran down the outside and onto the wood would it made the whole thing stick to the board unless you put plastic down or something?

I use a piece of melamine on the bottom of mine. The glue will pop right off.

The piece on the bottom is melamine covered shelving and I also waxed it to avoid sticking. We shall see.

I have a 5'x5' piece of Melamine so I will make one for later usage.
Problem is where to store all the jigs and stuff like this in a small shop? I still want to make a donut chuck for finish turning as well.

I used two steal polls w/ hing pins to hold them in place and a jack stand screw for the press here's a few photos.

You can used a bottle jack too

I prefer the jack method because it puts no rotational force on the glue up. I ended up going with a bearing press because of the size of some of my turnings.
