A look into the world of segmented turning
This is a star plate made in Neil’s workshop. It’s amazing what you can do with segmented turning!
From the first time I “discovered” SEGMENTED TURNING, I have been fascinated with Neil Davis’s Segmented Star Plate. Apparently other turners feel the same way. Are dimensional plans available through this website, or may they be purchased directly from Neil?

Hi Neil, any news on you doing another star plate with a set pictures and info on how you make it, also your jig for cutting the angle.
Thanks
Tom
Hi. Just found your web site.Realy like your star plate, But cannot quite make out from the photo”s how you made the star.Is made up. Is it all segments, 8 for the star and 8 for the surrounding aerea? The segments round the rim,is the segmented ring faced onto a thin rimof the plate or a eperate piece somehow attached to the plate. i would be very interested to know.
Kind regards Eddie.
oh and also would it be permissable to try to copy your projects for myself.
As like the other gentlemen here the plate is just awesome and would like to acquire plans for jigs and such.
thanks, Terry
I am a recent adventurer into segmented work and find it facinating. It really streches my mind. Being a senior citizen, I need that.
I particularly like the ‘Star Platter’ and feel I would like to have a go.
I do not get sound with the vidio clips. I am not sure if this is meant to happen. But living in the UK I guess sound has a long way to travel. Ha, Ha.
So for this reason can we have some more detailed text.
Thanks, Dave
I also really like your star platter and I was hoping maybe you would share some kind of plan or angles used. Thanks a lot and a great site.
I’am Interested in your Jig to cut star Angles & order of Assembly
thanks Brad
“I will be building another star plate soon. We will then have a complete set of pictures so that I will be able to describe all of the steps involved. Check back from time to time.
Thanks, Neil”
Hi Neil
I am waiting for the complete steps involved on your star plate. Even if you did something up on a dvd I am sure many would buy them. It is certainly a very nice piece and I enjoy looking at all your work. Now Mac says you have a centering jig for segmented rings. This would also be of interest to many.

I see you’re quite inventive yourself. Great job on the cutting sled!!! You should do a post on this alone!
Do you have plans for this plate avail.? or the plans for your table saw jig?
Thanks
Love the piece!!!!

I am new to wood turning. I have only made a couple of items. This segmented turning is what really got me started……
Your Star plate is just aw-some. I wonder if you have a plan or something that a newbie like myself could copy…… I have a good idea about how to proceed. but any help would be grateful.
I love the star platter. Would you be willing to share the angles used and other details? I see the jig you made with various angles but don’t have the patience or the skill to try to figure it all out.
Thanks,
Andy
