Bowls From Boards -- Simple technique, spectacular turnings

A simple technique opens up a world of possibilities for creating figured and patterned bowls. Nick demonstrates a simple jig that slices a board into rings, then glues those rings together to make turning stock for a bowl. This not only saves time and wood, it allows you to create remarkable, eye-catching lathe turnings from scraps. The plans for the jigs and fixtures used in this video are available from our store at .This project plan also includes and in-depth explanation of the band saw and turning techniques, as well as the figuring necessary to determine the correct dimensions and angles for the rings, PLUS plans for the assembly table (shown in the video) and a virtual calculator that will do all the figuring for you! The plans for the bowls and the assembly table are in PDF format, while the virtual calculator is an XLS file that will run on most spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel. To see all of
