Nice Form Warren and very pleasing to the eye. Well done.

Arlin, Download the YouTube video by "Joe Kramer bowl from a board". He goes through the whole process of making different types of bowls. The video will answer all you want to know about the technique. Have fun

I've had one since early 1990s. Used to keep mine in my car so if I went out on a job I always had a handy vice if I needed one.

Great project Glenn, really enjoyed following your progress. I wish I could get some of the great coloured woods you have available to you. Excellent work.

Hi Glenn and Everyone, Some time ago I purchased a book called "Wood Finishing 101 by Bob Flexner". This book has now become my bible for understanding wood finishing. The book covers understanding finishes, wiping varnish, oil/varnish blends, polyurethane, water base finishes, rattlecan...

Like your bowl.

If you go to the Forums page and click a couple of times on the right arrow in the pictures "New Media" you will find two pictures of the basket weave bowl. Thanks Glenn for your comment.

This person may only want to make say 16 segment rings and therefor only needs one wedgie and one sled. Its a simple solution.

Hi Stuart and Glenn, Thanks for your comments. I was quite lucky in that I did not have many voids, only one as I was on the last cut on the inside which I had to patch (Murphy's law). Be prepared to sharpen your chisels a lot of times as the ply blunts them very quickly, although 40 grit sand...

Hi Stuart, I used a wedgie sled and set my table saw blade at a 23deg angle (You can pick any angle you like but a 20-25deg angle looks ok) I used 18mm ply and milled strips 18mm - 22mm wide depending on the shape of your bowl. Now here is the trick when you saw the segments you need to mark...

Bob, I have had my Seg Easy plates mounted on MDF ever since I got them some time ago. That way they don't flex at all. Its worth doing it and works for me.

Thanks Lloyd, enjoy your trip you need one after all the work you have done. After making the post I played around with it and found the same as Mike that it defaulted to No.7 which ever palate you are using. It just means until we have your solution at a later date all we need to do is easily...

When you put a spacer in the feature ring in the bowl settings window you select "feature ring" and then set the "Spacer width" . How can you select the species you require for the spacer or does it default to a particular species. It would be nice to be able to select species either in...

Like you Alex I try to use the KISS principle as I find it much easier and cheaper to work out a solution to fix my problem. Attached are some pictures of the jig I made to split rings on my bandsaw. Its made out of 3/8th Ply for the base and MDF. I coated the upright with 3 coats of wipe on...

Made this some time ago but needed an image to test out a problem with Lloyd. Its made from Aust. Blackwood, Aust. Myrtle, Eur. Sycamore
