Emerging Bowl #1: Turning a Natural Edge Emerging Bowl- my method

Well thought out, Jim. I’m a little confused by what you are calling the “angle block”.

Clever use of a face plate jig Jim.

Thanks for the instruction, I had looked at them before and never got around to checking into it. Well one of these cold days when I am bored, well maybe cold, no time to be bored. will give it a try.

Thanks, Crowie.

Hi Brian , it was getting boring around here so I had to do something and I took the camera to the shop! Lining up the part for turning the rim of the bowl and hollowing is so important to make the wall thickness true all around.

Cheers, Jim

What ingenuity, what skill, you really are amazing Jim.

Nice block set up Jim. I’ll keep it in mind as I plan to try one of these soon. The counterweight is a good idea.

Thanks, Harry and Dave.

Hi Dave, the extra weight did level out the vibration I got without it. I’d like to do a twice size one next.

You done it Jim, love the way you held it.

Thanks for sharing

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

Thanks, Bob. You were my inspiration for this piece! My mounting was probably overkill, but I don’t like to take chances with all the mass flying around.

Cheers, Jim

You are approaching your 1000th project anniversary! Looks like you are setting up for a fine series of projects to get there.

I really appreciate how you approach every challenge with some innovative fixture work, I’d be 10’ away using a broom handle to spin up the lathe after setting something like that up 8^)

Well done! The counterweight is a good idea. I need to try this.

excellent tutorial, Jim !! (not that I would ever attempt it).
I have the same HF lathe. my 2nd one in 30 years. and people scoff at the limitations of it.
it is not the machine, but the skill of the craftsman that get the jobs like this done.
thanks for sharing this one.
