Very nice work. Excellent precision on building and attaching the bowl base. I am surprised at the tight joints you were able to achieve with your "tape clamping" method during glue up. It seems like it would be difficult to get everything lined up and tight, especially because it loks like you glued it up in two halves. I have found some nylon strap clamps that cinch like motorcycle ties that work great for any size. Even when the piece is angled like yours. More videos please!

@paperep Thanks for your interest. In part 1 of this 2 part video from the 7:25 - 12:00 the bowl is being glued. For ease of handling I glued half of the segments and the dividers and temporarily placed tape across the void to hold that half. Then I quickly glued the 2nd half of segments and dividers. In essence I did the entire glue job of the 12 segments and 12 dividers at one time at one time. Since the cutting angles were dialed in, I went for it. All joints were tight when taped. Worked OK!

why do you take the woodchips at 10:44 and put them against the bowl

[AppJourneyman]

@MrFourZeroFour

Great question! After the sanding is completed I take the wood chips and put them against the bowl to burnish and polish the wood. It smooths the wood beyond the last sanding grit used. Thanks for watching and asking.

[MrFourZeroFour]

@AppJourneyman what grits do you start off with and then end in?

thanks

[AppJourneyman]

@MrFourZeroFour

The grit I start out with is determined by how well the final shaping is with the last gouge used and also the density of the wood. This is an area that I am always trying to improve upon. In general I'll start with 80 -120 grit and work my way up to 320. (It's important to get any gouge marks smoothed out before moving along from the initial grit used.) After sanding I'll burnish with wood shavings.

Great piece of work, but you need a whole lot of machinery to be able ! (just jelous) .

[MrFourZeroFour]

@AppJourneyman great thanks for the reply

@prnyus

You ask a very good question and it is the same question I asked at one time.

It has proven sufficient in my experiences. One has to be smart about it tho.

1.) make sure any dust is removed from surfaces.

2.) turn at a slower speed to maintain control.

3.) avoid catches

(You are referring to 3:05 of the video when the bowls bottom is taped to the MDF waste block of the face plate. The bottom at this point will become a tenon to fit into the mortise of the walls of the bowl.)

[prnyus]

Did you attach the plate onto the other piece of wood with two sided tape only? Is that sufficient to hold the piece?
