Hey guys, i'm just beginning with turning (I can't actually turn until Christmas!) and besides pens I want to get into turning bracelets and rings. I have seen a few ring tutorials on youtube and one amazing bracelet video on vimeo. Does anyone know of other resources for walk-through directions in video form? I have found written step-by-step guides on rings but not so much bracelets. I'd like to learn segmenting for the bracelets as well.

I've turned a fair amount of bracelets recently and learned a ton.

There are a number of good tutorials out there. I would start here http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_projects.php?catid=15

For me.
I bought a 2 3/8 forstner for my drill press to hollow out the inside
I then made a jam chuck to secure the blank why shaping and sanding and finishing the outside.
Lastly I use a homemade spindle sander to smooth out the inside and then apply a finish.
