Cutting Bowl Blanks From A Cherished Heirloom

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video can’t wait to see the bowls that your uncle make from the fireplace mantle what a great idea and gift.

Thank you!

Mark, based on the wind direction you explained, your ridge cap is backward. But it's not the end of the world. I was still learning when I was your age. Now I'm old enough to just tell others how to do it. Great video

[@GunflintDesigns]

You know what, I thought about that for quite a while! In fact, I started about 3 pieces coming from the other way, but I ultimately pulled those and went this direction because this is the way the old cap was. I figured most of the time the shop would be blocking it from the main wind, and this way is better when the nasty weather comes from the southeast.

Love the slow-mo circle drawing!

Thank you!

That’s cool that your family will all get to have a piece of family history in repurposing that mantle!

[@GunflintDesigns]

Seemed like a pretty good use to me!

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome stuff, Mark! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@GunflintDesigns]

Thanks! You too!

Hi Mark with the scrap wood from the mantle you could have made something cool with resin

[@GunflintDesigns]

Cool idea!

What size is your Kreg workbench for cnc?

[@byromscustomwoodworks]

I think he has the same one I do and if so it's the 44x64

[@webcrawler3332]

@@byromscustomwoodworks do you find it’s big enough for a workbench

[@byromscustomwoodworks]

@@webcrawler3332 I think so. My main workbench/ outfeed table is 48x72 and I rarely use the whole table

@@byromscustomwoodworks cool thanks!

[@GunflintDesigns]

I agree with all of this.
