Ring Cutting Jig Bowl from a Board - Wood Turning

I came up with an easy way for me to cut rings for a bowl from a board which is also called a band saw bowl or economy bowl. This way I can cut from one piece instead of 2 pieces. This saves needing to glue the rings together separately.

This is how I cut the rings and you are responsible for choosing how you cut them.

More big hugs from a 77 year old gramma in Cowichan Valley B.C. Canada. I was just downstairs making a bowl from a board. I read somewhere about 45 degree angles and made a jig. I could only get one ring from the board. Wish I had watched your video this morning. I understand now about placement of tool rest etc . when cutting the angle. I enjoy your videos and always so impressed by your turnings.
Thank you so much for sharing

The artists and craftsmen that I respect the most are the ones that are most willing to pass on their skills. You are definitely on that list! Thank you, also, for encouraging the next generation!

Well that’s inspired me to give this a go, thanks very much

[jakakrze]

Very nice idea, i will probably try it.
Keep on turning 😃

Actually I saw this on another channel, but they really didn't explain things. I even tried a bowl, using the bandsaw. Unfortunately, my glue up was not very good, and I wound up scrapping it. Now that I have the whole story I can now try again. Enjoyed it and its a pretty bowl.

You learned patternmaking. Explains a lot. You haven't lost the touch. Thanks Gary!

Love it !
So many people don't understand the importance of jigs, They save so much marking out time or set up time etc.

Hi again Gary. I am so pleased I found this video. I have just purchased a 2 hp Record Power Coronet Regent to replace my 1 hp Herald, spent a week re working my shed to accommodate it and this morning working out how to mount and cut a plank to turn it into a bowl. I saw your video on using the band saw and, you may remember that my glue was out of date. Maybe this time I’ll have better luck. Thank you for sharing and all the best to you and yours. Ray 🌞

Gary, back in my boat building days (70's) I got many tips from a retired pattern maker. yes, I repeat them to my self and share them. The circle continues.

Thank You Gary Very Much.... This is great!!! When a craftsman describes his "tricks". So many different ways of getting to the end of a project and each person has their own way of doing things. Most craftsmen are quiet as to how they achieve their mysterious results??? I applaud your honest, open, "how to" so that others can understand and become skilled in a way they had, perhaps, not thought of.. I especially enjoyed your comment from your old pattern maker when you were an apprentice!!! (more please... perhaps on a poster for all to enjoy) .. I remember talking to a foundry shop Forman's comment about how impressed he was as to how quickly his patternmakers could produce an impeller entirely with hand tools. ( I just wish I could have heard first hand from the patternmaker) TM

I have just started woodturning and love to learn new techniques and thank you for sharing how to make the gig to cut the rings. I hope to be able to try the new way making a bowl from a board.
