March 15, 20233 yr Author Popular Post My Starlink has been down for a month now and I have to use the phone to connect to the internet... took a while to sort that out and also to find out that unlimited data on my phone is actually somewhat limited after 15Gb. So I'll update this thread with photos when I get my Starlink back online. Starlink went down and after figuring out how to create a "ticket" and waiting a few weeks for a new "kit" it worked once... they sent me a new cable and modem and the modem has been in Memphis since the 2nd and the replacement modem for the replacement modem is due to ship 3-20 to 3-26. While trying to figure out some way to have internet on my LAN I managed to screw up my dev PC where I do programming in the morning with my coffee... finally figured out to install Debian I needed the router to be online with the PC. Dizzy Bowl #2 is in progress and I learned a lot with #1. I made a circle cutting jig for the band saw and it worked perfect. The 1/4" Timber Wolf blade did not like a radius under 3", does anyone know of a bandsaw blade that cuts a smaller radius? JT

March 15, 20233 yr Woodcraft has some 3/16" wide blades that might do the trick- https://www.woodcraft.com/search?q=bandsaw+blades+3%2F16&button=search
March 15, 20233 yr Popular Post The people with Ring master attachments were big into the dizzy bowls and were adept at cutting rings. Here is a video by Bill Bulloch. He has done many dizzy bowls.
March 16, 20233 yr Author I think I found the problem, the center of the circle was not exactly even with the teeth of the blade. I dug up the box and it claims that blade can cut a 5/8" radius! JT

April 26, 20233 yr Author Popular Post Internet was down for a month then busy as can be and to top it off a PC died and had to sort that out... I'm actually working on Dizzy Bowl II now but I'll finish up this thread with photos of Dizzy Bowl I. JT

April 28, 20233 yr Author Popular Post Finished sanding and burnishing with wood shavings... no finish on the wood yet. First coat of Tried & True varnish oil. The finished bowl with two coats of T&T varnish oil. JT
May 1, 20233 yr Nice. I don’t know anything about turning, but i’m surprised you used pine. I would have thought that was too soft.
