18. Summary Smith fixture Simplest to construct
Work with any indexing system
On lathe use only
Gravity the enemy
Slowest to use

19. Summary Driskell fixture Used off lathe
Requires special lathe thread adapter
Project must be moved to the lathe then reinstalled to flatten each level
Gravity is NOT the enemy
Much faster

20. Summary SegEasy plate Builds 12 to 48 segment projects
Installs all segments at once – fastest method
All segments must be of equal thickness
Can be use on or off the lathe
