Hey, folks,
I'm battling software. I want to make a bowl with rings of 12 pieces each. That means 15 degree cuts. I figure the rings will be cut from 3/4" thick boards, 1 1/2" wide. Each ring will be an inch larger than the last. Here's my plan for the rings:
ring 1 4" disk
ring 2 5" 1 11/32 outside length of piece
ring 3 6" 1 19/32
ring 4 7" 1 7/8
ring 5 8" 2 5/32
ring 6 9" 2 13/32
ring 7 10" 2 11/16
ring 8 11" 2 12/16
First one will be in pine, so I can make my mistakes! But will the walls be too thin? What foolish mistake am I making? Woodturner pro is kind of helpful, but my mind goes completely blank when I'm confronted with any math!
Thanks,
Bill
