I would not have the patience to do segmented work, but my better 1/2 thinks it would be great fun to cut up and glue hundreds of little precise angled pieces and build a form - and then hand it off to me to turn.
So, my main question is: What equipment would she need to cut, sand, measure, flatten, plane, clamp, etc., wood for segmented work.
Assume I have nothing but a lathe (pretty much true)
I expect a table saw is required, so you can start there. If you have suggestions on make/model for any of the needed (medium price range) tools - great.
If this works out, I may have to ask y'all for suggestions on building a new shop...
