One thing I'm having trouble with is the length of each piece, I have the angles right but it seems I'm short on length ............yes I know.........I blame the tablets!

How do you choose the length of the pieces? 

Marc 

hi Marc

what are you doing open segments or full segment rings and what size ring are you after

Dennis 

Hi Dennis

Was trying a full ring to practice getting the angles right..........size wise was/is 7 inches wide.

Marc

hi Marc

         if you cut the segments 50mm that should be just over 7" only glue the ring in 2 halves then if there is any gaps when you attempt to glue the 2 halves together you can sand the 2 halve segments to rid the gap and have a perfect ring on glue up.also make your segments about 1" wide that will give you a lot to play with.

Dennis

Cheers Dennis. Great help, thanks

Marc

PS, I'm using those Parquet tiles......again.......which are just the right width.......

hi Marc

glad to be of help to you,hope to see your photo when it is done.

 i have started my next segmented project and hope to do this one a little bigger than the last one. hopefully this will be 8" wide and about 14" high hope it works out.
