OK, guys. I came across this site with VERY extensive and detailed info on doing segmented turnings. Of course, it would be since you need to be nearly obsessive-compulsive to want to torture youself through one of these. Seriously, this can be nit-picky joinery but the results can be worth it.
Here you all go, enjoy!

There is also software available to figure the segment sizes and angles and make this a math-less process, for those of us who are numerically challenged:

I have no affiliation with any of these sites, and make no money from them, blah blah blah.

Just thought, since there seems to be some interest, you all might want to know.

Hey Gary, Kevin does some great stuff for sure. I bought his program (for my palm) for calculating lengths and it works great. I also have used the other two computer programs and seem to do better with a pencil and paper. Programs are now just taking up space on my hard drive but a lot of people use them.
