I make the bottom too thin every once in a while. I don't throw them away sometimes I add a piece of wood and salvage them. Tonight I had a brainstorm (DANGER) I have these cheap Harbor Frieght magnetic dishes. My wife has one for her sewing tools,needles & pins. These magnetic dishes have a tenon type magnet on the bottom. I made the hole in the bottom of the bowl sized too accept the magnet with a press fit. A bad patch is better than a hole
