From checking your bowl wall thickness, using the supplied templates or Woodcut Tools Light Guide, to producing your first cored bowl. Phil Irons takes you through each step in the process.
After reading reviews on Woodcut Bowlsavers, I took a chance and still ordered one. It's the best fit for my lathe. The main problem being complained about was that the Bowlsaver post that goes in the tool rest would not thread into the plate casting. Post and plate having different threads. I do have a friend who owns a machine shop, so that didn't worry me. There was one thing missing in what arrived, my Bowlsaver didn't come with the two gauge patterns. What is the proper inside distance between the small gauge and the large gauge? so I can make my own gauges.
Hi, thank you for your question. Yes the Woodcut Bowlsaver is designed to make different shaped bowls. To change the shape of the base of the bowl you are coring simply slide the Tailstock along the track of your Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver or Max to achieve the shape you require. To change the shape of the top of the wall of the bowl you are coring we recommend you core a thicker wall with your Woodcut Tools Bowlsaver or Max and then use your Bowl Gouge to achieve the shape you require. Please let us know if we can support you further. support@woodcut-tools.com. Best regards Dan

Hi Kai we core some bowls that are very green, sometimes straight after being milled. Our bowl coring products have been in market for over 20 years, we are not aware of a maximum % moisture. Best regards Dan

Constructive criticism: it gets difficult to stay engaged when you have such long pauses, "umm"s and searching for words when filming your videos. The pacing feels really stilted and slow; you'll lose lots of people within the first 30 seconds from this. You would benefit from either typing out what you're going to say before you hit record, or editing your videos afterwards to remove all of the pauses and hesitation. Also, it seems like your microphone is topping out and getting distorted when you speak. This is likely due to having the gain too high, the mic too close, or not having a very good microphone. This is a pretty easy fix: lower the gain (an equalizer would help keep you out of the red), have the microphone placed farther away, and/or buy a better microphone suited for your needs. Great content though, thanks for taking the time to explain this system.
