the whole thing was insane !! the ingenuity !! really unbelievable !! lotta stuff to do to turn a bowl . but !! you did it !! and did it well. so crazy thanks !!
Truly amazing!!! You only get out of life what you settle for. You didn't settle for the lak of not having a fancy shop. Sad that more people aren't doing things. There is a lak of craftsmanship in the USA. Keep on keeping on. Great work
It's said that there is a very fine line between genius and insanity- You my friend tread that line superbly!! I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. But in all honesty, I've never seen something so scarily brilliant as this!!
Thanks Izzi!!! Love your channel! In my next video I will make smaller bowls and will make sure to mention you. Love your last router jig video. Cheers!
Great video, and nice product.. :) When it comes to the drill for turning the shaft, try using a mains power corded drill.. Battery drills have that rapid braking system which pulls up the rotation really quickly, whereas something like a 710W Makita corded drill runs on for a little while after you let go the trigger, (probably even more considering the inertia of the spinning wood.. it's also graduated, so you can run it at increasing speeds for sanding.. I've got 3 of them now... as well as the Makita brushless cordless 6-piece combo set.. :)
Hi, The reason for the chatter when doing the inside of the bowl is because the blade is cutting on both the front and the back of the blade. You centered your jig on the center line of the saw. If you move the jig forward by say a 1/4 inch, then the saw will only cut on the front of the blade and the back of the blade will not contact the bowl, Thus eliminating the chatter. Ray
I think you are right: just move the whole to 3/32 to 1/4 inch to the front, and the front cutting side of the blade would be the only side working and likely eliminate the chatter. you could also do bigger bowls by not being dead center.
Nice job! I did a waterski with a concave bottom, sliding ski at an angle over tablesaw blade. Nice to see you did another type peoject than just cutting.
La verdad, es que nunca antes había visto a alguien trabajar así, es impresionante realmente. Una vez más queda comprobado la versatilidad de la sierra circular y el ingenio humano no tiene límites. Sin embargo, debo reconocer que yo no me animaría a realizar un trabajo de esta forma, lo veo muy peligroso, al menos para mí que no tengo mucha experiencia. Mis felicitaciones señor, es un trabajo excelente.
That's excellent. You could make your raw stock go farther by building up rough bowl blanks from glued up segments, glued together in something closer to the finished shape of the bowl and then turning that. More time cutting blocks and gluing, less time turning on the saw, but you'd get lots more bowls out of that nice oak.
Brilliant idea, and the table saw blade will give you exactly the same size bowl each and every time. And your jig will give a nice, neat and repeatable result.
impressive and ingenious! Lots of expensive Oak and equipment just to make wooden bowl. I am intimidated by such accuracy. I cut my left index in half doing much simpler task(tong and groove) about 25 years ago. Much much harder than it looks. Never the less Impressive work Sir. My hat off to you.
THAT is pretty neat. I'd think investing in a cheap corded drill might be better. They are stronger and can run long time without overheating or burning out.
@@AsTheWheelsTurn well, the saw blade isn't designed to take cutting forces sideways. In germany any woodworker learns (and knows) that this usage of a table saw is forbidden. You even lose insurance if/when you get injured. It's the same for angle grinders with a cutting disc installed. you should never EVER (yes, caps intended) cut sideways.
@@Shoopadawhoopa he is using a jig that keeps his hands far away from the blade so I dont see it as being "absurdly dangerous", I agree these blades are not meant to cut sideways and doing so can cause them to become warped or to possibly bend the arbor of the saw. I have been working with table saws daily for 23 years as a cabinet maker/cabinet installer, never once even come close to being cut so I'd say I am fairly well understanding of table saw use and safety. I wouldn't do this because it is too time consuming and hard on the tool not because it is overtly unsafe. worst case scenario ,he is stupid about it and trys to take too much material at once casing the blade to grab/kick destroying his work and possibly his blade and arbor in the process. not much chance of getting cut unless he is very inexperienced and if he was he wouldn't have been able to make the jig in the first place or complete the project. I'd say its safe enough. people who know little about table saws or have little experience often view things as being unsafe that are in fact perfectly manageable and safe when executed by a person with experiance and understanding of the tool.
@@AsTheWheelsTurn if you knew as much about table saws as you claim, you'd know that doing anything except what they're designed and intended to do is dangerous.
I do know as much as I say I do about table saws man. I have been safely using them for decades EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have been a cabinet maker for 23 years and have not once been cut. Table saws are often used in ways not specifically intended, technically just putting a dado blade on one is not an "intended use" or cutting without a kickback device or blade guard or using a sled or specialized jig to make tapered cuts ect... but if you go into ANY professional shop you will find saws set up in various ways to do many different things. the times I have seen people get hurt on table saw were when they were lacking experiance or being downright careless in there handling of the material ,@@ironsights4me
Ever since I saw the title of your video, I always wondered if this was possible. Now that I see it is, I'm still not going to try it! That looked terrifying! Great job and nice work.
I've seen a lot of crazy things in my 35 years of woodworking, but this is the craziest, and the most genius. All I can say though is that when you grabbed a high torque drill with one hand, and spun a big heavy piece of hardwood over a tablesaw.....my only thought was that something would catch, and you'd snap your wrist like a twig. Amazing results nonetheless.
I suggest using a drill without the brake. Just a plain old plug in drill that you can mount on your rig, turn on and then have both hands to work the saw and when you turn it off, it will slowly come to a stop and not shock your piece.
I'm wondering if too much sawdust is accumulating under your bowl when you cut the inside of the bowl and if that might contribute to the chatter? If yes then drilling some holes near the blade slot in the plywood base might help.
I love the French River, I live farther south, near the Madawaska River. Nice jigs man, your bowls came out really nice. It looks to me like if you could add something to your jig to hold the drill from turning and also to keep the trigger pulled then you wouldn't have to use as much energy in holding onto the drill. That must have been a good workout for your wrist, wow! Thanks for the video
Do the outside just roughly first if it helps running balance, then do the inside , that way there will be more strength to resist chattering "split" accidents ? The broken one should be gorilla glueable ! Nice bowl , but its easier on a lathe. So sell a few bowls and buy a lathe ! Many smart chaps have lost fingers in a blink of the eye on big circular saws , they are very VERY dangerous.
Great job, regarding chatter try off setting the wood into the turning direction of the blade, also add more clamps to hold down / solid on each corner of the jig and slow down the drill on the finish cut. With some tests it might reduce or eliminate the chatter and reduce stress on the saw providing a smoother finish.
Nice work sir. One suggestion: When your bowl blank is still square you could pencil in lines corner to corner. This may help when it comes to lining up your screw holes for the bearing block.
My phone is nerve-wracking when it auto-completes nerve-wracking instead of nerve-racking....guess it works either way depending on the situation, I just looked it up. Dumb smartphones!😜
Very nice . Good to know there is still real men living that sometimes make do with what they have . Don't pay attention to the facesheild, earplug wareing slugs
If you clamp your drill you can just lock the trigger and not have to struggle with both hands. Torque spin will turn the drill in one direction so all you need is a solid post for the grip to rest on. Thanks for the video, I learned a lot. Cheers from Canada
Although this is really dangerous, I can't argue with its results. It is at least a really good proof of concept and the idea of shaping a bowl in that way could possible be perfected to make it specifically designed to turn the shape of the bowl. I don't think that it would be a direct substitute for a good wood lathe, but it is an easy way to get the basic shape for making blanks for turning later. I'm a mechanical engineer and I like the how the idea could be perfected to be a stand along product for making bowl blanks.
Scary and at the same time genius and a beautiful result,....my only reservation is if the blade and the bowl fell out of love during the process I wouldnt want to be within thirty feet of it !!
Looks amazing. It was even more intriguing when you cut the outside and it still had a flat lip around the top edge of the bowl. Beautiful work. Roughing blanks for the lathe would be super fast this way. You should show this to Frank Howarth. I bet you could cut down on chatter by drilling out the center of the bowl with a large forstner bit.
To keep from having "screw holes" in the bottom of your turning work use a piece of sacrificial stock the size of the desired base coat both with white glue with a paper towel between the pieces, (use a paper towel like the cheap brown ones found at gas stations) after turning split the two with a chisel. you will have a little sanding to remove the glue and remnant of the paper towel but there will not be any screw holes.
Do you have written out plans for the wood bowl jig? It is important to know the height of the jig for the proper bowl and the correct measurements for the holes. Do you use the same jig for all the bowls and just change the blade size?
First time I saw this idea was about 1992, a guy was making bowls out of marble with a handheld circular saw and a carbide grit blade. Gorgeous bowls, big ones up to two feet across, the marble mounted on a vertical bearing and the circular saw mounted in a hanging jig. The most amazing cloud of dust. I think he was dying of lung cancer, probably not a coincidence.
i have been a woodworker for 40 plus years and i must say that was freaking awesome very cool indeed to everyone who thinks this was scary respect your saw but do not be afraid of it that's when you get hurt ps what kind of wood was it looks a little like butternut ??? long time since i made a butternut bowl lol wow am old now i think about it
place a roller stop at the front edge just ahead of the blade when doing the inside of the bowl to prevent the chatter. It will stabilize the bowl and keep it in contact with the blade.
Plans for the jig?

@@frenchriversprings Hello! Would you mind if I feature it on TH-cam with a credit?
Very creative and with a very delicate Japanese sensibility -- not to mention your courage. I really admire your accomplishment.
What a great idea. I've used a table saw to cut a cove out of wooden bench but this is a new level of ingenuity.
You are both mad and genius. When you started turning the inside I was expecting it to fly through the air. Excellent result!!
The finish on them is F ing excellent 😱👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job.... I did my 1st table saw bowl back in the 70's with my grandfather
Excellent ingenuity went into making this turning table saw jig. Thank you my woodworking brother for helping us see.
Мужик, ты молодец большой. Хорошее приспособление, сделано аккуратно и с головой. Мои восхищения.

Magnifique travail et bonne pub pour devalt
Awesome idea, can't wait to try it. Spent a little of time in French River. Grew up in Sudbury.
full credit to your enthusiasm and inventivness. ilearn a lot from your vids and it is appreciated.
Thank You. Glad you like my vids!
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
That could be placed

Beautiful. Really nice finished product. That was incredible.
You may have started a whole new way of making wooden bowls without the expense of a lathe. It's pretty impressive. Kudos for thinking out of the box!
yes but the blade will die way earlier
I wonder if milling the inside first would help prevent cracking. The additional outer material would reinforce the piece.
Ingenious idea and beautiful work.

Really Awesome !! And a BIT SCARY !! CRAZY GENIUS !!
Looks great, might I say that if you use a thicker blade it will stop the chatter. 1/8 thick kart blade like for solid surface fabrication

Only advice is to lower the table saw for the first pass and do a final pass. Great Video, I’m going to show this to my partner!
This guy is stress testing that blade in ways the manufacturer never considered.
me parece muy honesto tu trabajo y por eso me suscribí a tu canal...felicitaciones señor French...!

Scary and at the same time genius and a beautiful result,....my only reservation is if the blade and the bowl fell out of love during the process I wouldnt want to be within thirty feet of it !!
So you must align the center of the entire jig with the center of the saw blade when the saw is FULLY RAISED.?
Fantastic idea!
Nicely done my man!!
Wow, totally awesome. Never would have thought to do this.

That is a crazy amount of work. What do you need that bowl for? The dollar store has bowls if you need any more.
Izzy Swan did this years ago and also a bowling ball. It's always nice to see another version.

Gorgeous bowls, big ones up to two feet across, the marble mounted on a vertical bearing and the circular saw mounted in a hanging jig. The most amazing cloud of dust. I think he was dying of lung cancer, probably not a coincidence.
Now that would be amazing.
Классная идея, Лайк!! Удачи!
i have been a woodworker for 40 plus years and i must say that was freaking awesome very cool indeed to everyone who thinks this was scary respect your saw but do not be afraid of it that's when you get hurt ps what kind of wood was it looks a little like butternut ??? long time since i made a butternut bowl lol wow am old now i think about it
The wood I used is bur oak
Very interesting way of turning wood, nice oiece of wood and nice job. Thanks for sharing.
I stood up to applaud that well done mate awsome
place a roller stop at the front edge just ahead of the blade when doing the inside of the bowl to prevent the chatter. It will stabilize the bowl and keep it in contact with the blade.
