Great job, Dave! At what angle do you put your band saw table when you cut those sections? I think I have that info in some notes around here, but cannot find them at the moment. I have a few pieces of cherry, walnut, maple, mahogany, and bubinga that I think would make a great gift for a Christmas party at the Toyota Foundation where I am consultant. High fives, sir! Greetings from the Elvis Presley Birthplace -- Tupelo, MS!
Found the info in my notes. The first cut is made at a 90-degree angle. Each subsequent cut is made with the table tilted at 45-degrees. While there are variations to these, those two angles seem to be the most common. Keep up your great work!
Can you share the dimensions of the circles you cut and also at what angle did you set the bandsaw at? What a great idea, I would love to see if I could repeat what you have done if you are willing to provide details.
Came out nice. I think the great thing about these bowls is the ability to make some great designs easily. If you would have offset each layer you could have had changed what the bowl looks likes. Kind of a swirl pattern. Just a thought for next time. Ken
Great job Dave. I couldn't figure out how you cut the angles until I realized you had the bed tilted on the band saw. The Bowl looks awesome. Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the information the other day. It was great meeting you. Let me know if you need any more project wood. I have plenty at the house that is dry.
Dave, i hope you are still making bowls like this. The bowl may have been your first attempt at a bowl like this but its far better than you seem to think. Its great!
Dave this is a beautiful bowl and the wood grains are terrific ! I saw you angled your bandsaw table. Can you tell what angle you used? Thanks and all the best!
I am not much a fan of segmented bowls, but I like what you have done on this bowl. I love the way cutting each ring at an angle preserves the "stripes." Never would have thought of that. Any thoughts on how to minimize the glue lines for each layer? All-in-all a good job, Dave.
Loved look of bowl but no explanation of angle cut untill it became obvious . And it's an eight minutes vid with four minutes of smearing glue . More detail of process and less mundane aspects of building . Angle of cuts would be nice
Super beautiful, GREAT job!!! The only thing slightly negative I'll say (and believe me, I'm reaching here!) is Titebond 3 leaves dark joints. Titebond 2 is just as waterproof (relatively speaking) with lighter joints.
I am addicted to wood turning videos. I've seen tons getting ready to start turning myself. Your work is beautiful. While I won't start here, I aspire to doing something as gorgeous as this one day.
Great video and technique! I noticed you are using Titebond III, totally waterproof glue. I love Titebond glues but find that the III has a darker color and makes bond lines more apparent. I am going to try to copy your work but use Titebond II which is very water resistant and makes bond lines less noticeable in my opinion. I have no plans to have this bowl submerged for any appreciable time. I am now going to look for your later versions. Thanks!
Hi there, I am from India, I am in the field of Laser cutting and Engraving, you have titel of your video "economic" but you have did lot of work ... Very nice video and hattsoff your work... Like it
The "economy" in the title comes from using thinner strips of wood and gluing together, rather than use a single, large expensive piece of timber. Thus is can often be made using offcuts from other projects rather than buying new wood.
I've watch many of this kind but this video makes me fell to be like u... Ur so creative... If I want to be a wood turner ur the one I will learn from... # 5 stars ✋
Great video and fabulous bowl ! Two side thoughts: great to see I am not the only one to use my table saw or bandsaw top as a workbench and thought about your angled cutting and neighbor from many years ago who had , think it was called a ring master or ring maker and it sort of used your method. I think the company went under as I have not seen or heard about them in years. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
Greetings from South Africa. Like you, I too have only begun woodworking late in life. I came across your video and was amazed. At what angle did you cut the half-rounds (I think one calls them that) before the gluing process and lay-out began? Thank you for sharing this video. Regards. Michael Dean-Jackson
Hi Dave, watched your video a few times on the economy bowl. I'm missing a few things alone the line. You glued about 8 boards the first time. Did you glue the second set to the first set or double sided tape between. I've tried this on thinner wood and didn't do so well. you do have great control of the band saw on the semi circles. I'd like to hear back from you ..Thanks Mike
Absolutely beautiful bowl Dave! I just started turning myself but I'm still on twig pots and mushrooms. Be careful with that bandsaw. Mine bit me the other day now I can't do anything for several weeks. Been woodworking for 35 years and this was my first accident with a saw. Got complacent. 😔
HI Dave, you must have a much better perspective with band saw cutting than I , tried one of these and a complete disaster. I have however turned over 50 segmented with great (I think) success. Nice job.
Very beautiful... like the way you segmented it!... Big bowl for that little Comet... i love my comet but have only turned pens and stuff between centers. What chuck is that... is still need to buy a chuck? Cheers, Lyle
