On wednesday we (the wife and I) got a new lathe, a big step up in power and size from the mini lathe we have. It'll be relegated to spindle/pen turning, as for those tasks its excellent.
One of the things we've both been looking forward to with a larger lathe is trying segmented bowls/vessels/round-thingies, so yesterday I finished up a sled for cutting segment pieces. 10 sided for now, fence is replaceable so I can get different angles in a simple-stupid-repeatable manner.

First ring (which is really a test ring) is done (not glued up), and I'm liking how it is coming together already. Some light sanding might be needed to make sure there are no gaps, we'll see.
Any gotchas I should know about before we get started with the actual turning part of the project?
