Impressive work. I like the honesty of your commentary, which is refreshing to hear, and the safety tips are a useful and well considered element. Importantly, the bowl looks great!
Maybe a bag of dry concrete (40 lbs) laid on top of a larger board for your segment stacking? I would also suggest salt in the glue to give some grip between layers.
Great job and I love the design. I have made several segmented bowls and would like to try this one. Are you willing to share the different ring dia's? Thanks for the video.
@brucebenoit480 ok, so you need 4 rings. top ring 320mm dia, 25mm wide 25mm deep. Feature ring 320mm dia, segments 30mm wide 25mm deep with 5mm joints. 3rd ring 300mm dia, segments 75mm wide 25mm deep. Base 230mm dia 25mm deep use solid timber. If you want segments 115mm wide. Hope that helps. All the best and good luck.
Frank has been an inspiration to me for many years i really want to make a particular clamping jig he did a few years back. but mostly i've tried to find my own way of doing things and since doing this bowl ive developeed my technique and recentley upgraded my segment jig it will be in my next video. Thanks for the comment. 🙂
