Gene Howe was awarded the badge 'Superstar' and 10 points. As Jesse will attest, the scroll saw is a versatile tool. While my attempts are nowhere near his artistry, they are a bit unusual as these pics will hopefully show. Here's the pattern for the next one. lew, HARO50, Gerald and 5 others 5 1 2 Quote
Popular Post John Morris Posted March 4 Popular Post Report Posted March 4 I completely get that Gene, when you originally told me you were doing this, this is what I imagined. In my Junior Highschool woodshop, our school participate in the wooden sail boat races in San Diego bay every year, it was a regatta. Your method is how we cut the hulls on our sail boats. Then we took a hand plane and smoothed the exterior of the hull, and for the interior we used gouges to get it roughed out, then applied a wood deck along with a few other things, but the hull was built exactly the same method you are using, man you brought back memories in this kid. Great job Gene, love it! DuckSoup, Headhunter, Fred Wilson and 3 others 6 Quote
Popular Post Gene Howe Posted March 4 Author Popular Post Report Posted March 4 This one is poplar. Kinda proof of concept. Getting the angle right was a bear. Turns out that it's 28°. Cutting at that table slant ain't easy. The next one (fluted) will be walnut. lew, Fred W. Hargis Jr, John Morris and 3 others 6 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted March 4 Report Posted March 4 Very cool Gene. I like the out of the box, 'er bowl thinking. Looking forward to seeing both as well as progression photos. HARO50, John Morris, DuckSoup and 1 other 4 Quote
DuckSoup Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Well done Gene that came out great. Great work on figuring out the angle. I did some spiral cut baskets years ago and I think the angle was only 5-7 degrees but it was one continuous cut. Even that shallow of a cut it was a pain on a tilted table.

Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Gene, how much sanding is there to get the sides smoothed? DuckSoup, lew and Grandpadave52 3 Quote
Fred Wilson Posted March 6 Report Posted March 6 Gene, I have tried several of these bowls by Steve Good. Had a couple that turned out "OK". Threw a couple away ! ! ! Thanks for the thread. Grandpadave52, lew, DuckSoup and 1 other 4 Quote

Fred, I haven't started the sanding yet. We'll begin that process after the fluted one is cut and glued. A copious amount is anticipated. Unlike most woodworkers, I don't mind sanding. I love it when he beauty of the wood is revealed. Edited March 7 by Gene Howe Grandpadave52, DuckSoup, Fred Wilson and 1 other 3 1 Quote
