the whole thing was insane !! the ingenuity !! really unbelievable !! lotta stuff to do to turn a bowl . but !! you did it !! and did it well. so crazy thanks !!
Truly amazing!!! You only get out of life what you settle for. You didn't settle for the lak of not having a fancy shop. Sad that more people aren't doing things. There is a lak of craftsmanship in the USA. Keep on keeping on. Great work
Ever since I saw the title of your video, I always wondered if this was possible. Now that I see it is, I'm still not going to try it! That looked terrifying! Great job and nice work.
My phone is nerve-wracking when it auto-completes nerve-wracking instead of nerve-racking....guess it works either way depending on the situation, I just looked it up. Dumb smartphones!😜
If you clamp your drill you can just lock the trigger and not have to struggle with both hands. Torque spin will turn the drill in one direction so all you need is a solid post for the grip to rest on. Thanks for the video, I learned a lot. Cheers from Canada
Brilliant idea, and the table saw blade will give you exactly the same size bowl each and every time. And your jig will give a nice, neat and repeatable result.
Nice job! I did a waterski with a concave bottom, sliding ski at an angle over tablesaw blade. Nice to see you did another type peoject than just cutting.
Thanks for showing! Very inspiring - and very fine result! Great if one owns a table saw and powerful drill, and like me, have a lathe that's too small for bowls of this size.

I wonder if milling the inside first would help prevent cracking. The additional outer material would reinforce the piece. Ingenious idea and beautiful work.
Great video, and nice product.. :) When it comes to the drill for turning the shaft, try using a mains power corded drill.. Battery drills have that rapid braking system which pulls up the rotation really quickly, whereas something like a 710W Makita corded drill runs on for a little while after you let go the trigger, (probably even more considering the inertia of the spinning wood.. it's also graduated, so you can run it at increasing speeds for sanding.. I've got 3 of them now... as well as the Makita brushless cordless 6-piece combo set.. :)
Looks amazing. It was even more intriguing when you cut the outside and it still had a flat lip around the top edge of the bowl. Beautiful work. Roughing blanks for the lathe would be super fast this way. You should show this to Frank Howarth. I bet you could cut down on chatter by drilling out the center of the bowl with a large forstner bit.
This was an interesting way to make wooden bowls. Great video demonstration. It would be useful if producing several identical bowls quickly. Watching the video I noticed much of your chatter turning the inside. It looked like the saw dust was lifting your bowl edge as it built up inside. Perhaps, routing gussets in the plywood below the bowl would reduce the issue? I could see adding poly wheels to the outer bowl edges at 3 or more points to reduce vibrations as well. Yet, all in all it was cool to watch, thanks for posting it...
Thanks Izzi!!! Love your channel! In my next video I will make smaller bowls and will make sure to mention you. Love your last router jig video. Cheers!
It's said that there is a very fine line between genius and insanity- You my friend tread that line superbly!! I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. But in all honesty, I've never seen something so scarily brilliant as this!!
Hi, The reason for the chatter when doing the inside of the bowl is because the blade is cutting on both the front and the back of the blade. You centered your jig on the center line of the saw. If you move the jig forward by say a 1/4 inch, then the saw will only cut on the front of the blade and the back of the blade will not contact the bowl, Thus eliminating the chatter. Ray
I think you are right: just move the whole to 3/32 to 1/4 inch to the front, and the front cutting side of the blade would be the only side working and likely eliminate the chatter. you could also do bigger bowls by not being dead center.
That's the first jig of that kind I ever see and I'm impressed! A genius way to turn a bowl without a lathe. I figure if you use the finest blade you can find (maybe a blade for metal) there would be minimal chance for ripping and the need for sanding would be vastly reduced too.
The outside went great. A few thoughts for the inside. A zip tie around the trigger of the drill would make it a one handed operation, you could also stand off to the side as you raised the blade into the inside of the bowl to be out of the line of fire. Also what about adding blocking between the center pivoting section of the jig and the base sheet. This might solidify it a bit to reduce the chatter. Great work!
To keep from having "screw holes" in the bottom of your turning work use a piece of sacrificial stock the size of the desired base coat both with white glue with a paper towel between the pieces, (use a paper towel like the cheap brown ones found at gas stations) after turning split the two with a chisel. you will have a little sanding to remove the glue and remnant of the paper towel but there will not be any screw holes.
PLANO JIM Still have all your fingers?? That FRENCH RIVER SPRINGS DUDE was giving you some advice you shouldn't heed ! I just finished watching this video. And , the Red/Green Show came to mind. I'm a life long Cabinet Builder . 50 years has produced son good advice.
Nice work sir. One suggestion: When your bowl blank is still square you could pencil in lines corner to corner. This may help when it comes to lining up your screw holes for the bearing block.
