One of the great things about Fusion 360 is that it can simulate the toolpaths along with the bit holder, and it'll tell you if there is going to be a collision or not. It helps give you a lot of confidence about it working or not before even starting on the machine. I frequently will change the design to avoid potential collisions that Fusion detects. In general, that means making the walls not as steep.
Really good video love the detailed descriptions and that you acknowledge everyone including Corbin, Kyle and your buddy Jim…now I’ll have to make one!
Thank you for the comment and positive feedback. I look forward to seeing how your bowl turns out. My next Corbin design will be a butterfly bowl of his
Thank you Dan. I know it’s alot of detail - hoping it isn’t too much such that it scares people off. But, really want to give people knowledge to make a bowl themselves should they have that desire.
That dowel ‘test’ tool is pretty cool. This series has a lot of great information. I need to watch a few times to attempt to ‘understand,’ You a great job explaining it, it is my brain processing power (sometimes I swear it is still an 8088 processor) until I get that Aha moment lol. Can this be scaled to where the bowl is not as deep? Thanks for more great information! I agree one thing about the majority of the CNC community is the willingness to help one another!
Keep going at it Kevin. Many of us feel overwhelmed as we start into this process and the tools available. That is why I do put more step-by-step detail than many others. I understand for some it is overkill, but my target audience isn't the really experienced. It is the people stsrting out to thos tha are pretty good and need a refresher every once in awhile. As fo scaling it so that it is not as deep, the short answer is that it cabe scaled down. Maybe I can play with that some time in the future.
Yes there is I go through making the dripstock and pouring the epoxy in Part 1. See Use vCarve to Make an Epoxy and Cherry Heart Bowl Part 1 - "The Dripstock" - Corbin Dunn Design th-cam.com/video/KRgeZTI7Z-s/w-d-xo.html. Have fun making the bowl
woodturners often glue conical circles of wood on top of each other in the rough shape of the bowl to save material, rather than carve out a solid block. Is it feasible in this case, given the epoxy?
Yeah - segmented turning is what people usually call that. It's definitely possible, but it would be hard to get the "drips" aligned perfectly. You can use dowels to align each piece, and I've done this with good results (th-cam.com/video/didl7uGMJeM/w-d-xo.html )
Excellent video series, Rob. Thank you for making it. The final result of that bowl speaks for itself. Extremely well done!
Thank you for making a comment Mark.

PS: the bowl turned out great! Nice job!
@@CorbinDunn thanks Corbin. I appreciate the quality of the file you provided. Still need to do the butterfly bowl.

That was some real good detail ... Keep it up brother

@@RobSandstromDesigns Thank you sir! Keep up the good work.
Fun fact: 3D Tabs are fully-fledged 3d objects. If you don't have aspire, but need to do simple 3D modeling, they're useful for that
Actually, I did all of this in vcarve. No need for Aspire. The 3d tabs are in the clip art vectric supplies with vcarve.
Is there a Video for the Epoxy pour on this bowl. I purchased this file last year your video got me excellent
to cut it

I think it may be. In fact my friend Jim Matthews did a piece that may be similar to what you’re describing.
