Mike, that is what we are presently doing. The problem is the ones that are too out of spec to group. we allow a /- 1/64" tolerance.

Thanks for the replies/advice.
Jamie & Kevin, I will make a short fence and give it a try. If snip is a problem I can shorten to the defect and re-mill the ends when I do the grooves.

I have ¾" hardwood flooring that is varying by 1/64", 1/32", 3/64" width. (No chance to return to the manufacturer) I am trying to figure a way to smoothly shave off 1/64" along one edge of the...
The strong grain along with the excellent form makes these a stunning set.
Harvey, I have a Kobra and cannot get the 45 degree cutter to reach under the top of the hollow form with a shape like yours without hitting the collar and shattering the piece. I have been using an...
Harvey, you mention angled cutters, are these gooseneck or the straight tips with the cutter broached at an angle? What did you use for the top of the form aside the mouth?
BTW: I sure do like the...
Nate, what great looking figure in that birch. Looks a lot like a Norwegian Beer Bowl.
Rolled edge......great tools!
I like the fact that you did not let your mission to turn a thin bowl disrupt our plan to make a well balanced, formed, and finished bowl. Well done bowl Steve!
Cody, I have some of the BB tools from PS and find them similar to my P&N tools for edge holding. The scraper steel seems the same as the gouges. The scrapers are not as thick as some of the others...
Chris, spend the money on AAW club dues rather than a DVD if you can't afford both. The club members will help you more than the DVD. This is from someone that has a lot of DVD’s. Most clubs...
Thanks Reed,
I have to try your idea, it should help my dust collection problem immensly.
Reed, does your vacuum hose connect to the end or the side of the barrel? This would help my visualization of your set-up.
Steve, you have a great AAW group in Duluth. Alan Lacer demoed last month, Jimmy Clewes, Mathew Hill, Alan Lacer last year. Superior Woodturners.
Thanks all for taking time to comment!
Ron, I agree with you, a larger foot on a utility helps the stability and supports the fork and spoon stuck in the salad. This bowl will never hold salad and will be displayed with others in the...
This is a photo of a spalted yellow birch bowl I just delivered. It was 13”x4”. It was 13”x4”, rim undercut to a 1/4" wall thickness. The finish was Russ' O/V. It is hard to see in the photo but this...
It's a beauty Shane! I must take too much time thinking and cutting.
Everything about these is Stunning, grain, form, and finish!
Nice handles Kevin, is honey lucust a heavy wood? Heavier than hard maple? I have never turned any and it made some great handles.
Great job of grain orientation Mike.
Here in northern WI I cannot air dry below 11% without bringing the wood into a controlled environment which is heated to reduce the relative humidity or dehumidified with a mechanical source to...
Mike, the form and finish suit this well, I too end up with a lot of this sized blank from cores. I like the detail under the rim. My only concern would be damage to the sharp rim if this is to be...
Thanks Travis!
Mark, I think the shape is very good, asymmetrical can be good at times and I think this is one of them. It reminds me of some of the good rowing skiffs.
