The Segmented Project Planner is a computer program created to assist you in the process of designing segmented projects for the wood lathe; making the task more enjoyable, easier, faster, and more accurate. It runs on the PC under all current Windows versions and, using Virtual PC, can be used on the MAC as well. Registered users get free upgrades.
The Segmented Project Planner supports the beginning of the design activity by providing the Sketch-A-Bowl mechanism for developing an initial shape for your object. Starting from a simple shape, you push/pull on the sidewalls of the object until it looks just right. Then save the shape as a project file with a specified height, diameter, and layer thickness.
The Segmented Project Planner further supports the design activity by giving you hands-on manipulation & refinement control over each project layer and showing you what it will look like. It then lets you paint individual segments with wood colors, complex segments/mosaics or graphic images. You can also establish open segments or vertical spacers. All this so you can get a very good idea of what the finished project will look like.
Throughout your project, the Segmented Project Planner performs all the computations needed to completely describe your project. Just print the report, you can take it straight to the shop and start cutting, to get all angles, dimensions, and wood types for each segment of every layer. The program also prints angle templates to make setting up your miter cuts easier.
