Default segmented turning

I am going to take a stab at a segmented bowl. When gluing together the
"rings" of segments, how does one ensure that the rings remain centered
around the axis rotation for the glue block? It would seem to be that if
done by eye it would be OK for a layer or three but any error could
accumulate. If there a trick or technique for keeping the stacked rings
concentric?

Thanks,

Steve


I usually scribe a pencil mark as close to the next ring's inner
diameter as possible. The trouble is, when clamping, glue squeeze-out
obliterates my ability to see the mark. Maybe err on the side of
caution, and make the rings slightly oversized? Tom
