[@ravitejajoshi7127]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@ghita.herdean.1979]

OK, OK, I am impressed!

[@samspade4634]

No offence, but the jig was neat, but the time with your little helper was priceless! What a great example you are setting. Well done Brad!

[@Mrfreezeee1]

Looks great ,but i bet you wished you left the bottom mount on until finished sanding the inside of the bowl and do you have a heat gun to soften the glue off or tape then glue ,and remember its handmade one of a kind bowl ,sure hope the giftee know the true value ....:)

[@se38005]

Nice touch having your little helper doing some steps.

[@MD-gc4xq]

Seeing your son playing with the bits of wood, suddenly brought back memories of me doing exactly the same when I was a kid over 60 years ago, this probably started me off into woodworking in later life.

[@alangardiner872]

Bloody Speechless!!...Amazing, where the Hell did all that idea come from...unbelievable use of a table saw...most ingenious thing I have seen in ages, if not for ever...maybe except the aerofoil that lifts 400 holiday makers and their cases into the air, with some forward thrust,, Thank you for sharing this..i am speechless..........

[@gatnact]

Wow impressive. Izzy Swan mad this same jig on his old channel like 7 years ago!

[@DIYBuilds]

Did he show how to build it and offer free plans?

[@DIYBuilds]

Wrong.

[@00Gizmo]

Put a layer of painters tape on the bottom of the bowl before using the hot-glue to put the pieces together. Then you can peel it off easy after you're done.

[@MadMonk67]

I like how you left in your mistakes and showed how to overcome them. Authentic!

[@CobaltNorthernStudios]

I like that you use good but cheap (free actually) materials and cheaper end power tools No need to blow a fortune to do creative smart quality work

[@owenparker6651]

I sincerely am impressed. You've taken your table saw lathe to the next level! Very, very creative/innovative! Thanks for sharing!

[@patrickretsel7048]

I just love watching you with your son, that’s when you get them started……great dad move brother…..😎

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Thank you for taking the time to share this how to with me...

[@FishersShop]

Awesome jig, love it!

[@yeahright3348]

This feels like a kick-back dream.

[@DIYBuilds]

It's not. It's a fantasy.

[@raulc398]

You could have sanded the interior while was still attached to the hot glued piece,same position as when you tried to push through.Cheers from Toronto!!

[@Ashdad99]

Who do you think you are Izzy Swann. Just kidding, awesome build and easy to understand what was happening all the way through.

[@brentscott5359]

Very clever idea. Another project that will tear me away from house and yard work if it ever warms up in sunny central Alberta.

[@davidskolly9291]

Really Nice And great seeing you get some help from the little helper. Going to have to buy you a beer someday. Stay Safe and have a Merry Christmas with your great family

[@TopshelfEnglish]

The way you do the inside of the bowl is clever. The way you do the outside is freakin' genius! Just, Wow!

[@Josh.Wilson]

Awesome! Now I can make a new template to give my daughter a haircut at home

[@DIYBuilds]

She will love that

[@Mocking69]

I was impressed with your wonderful work ♪このボールでサラダを食べたら美味しいですね♪

[@rawbacon]

Table saw is such a great tool.

[@brownk2]

Love your inventive jigs and your positive attitude.

[@zakishah9621]

woodworker = good dad... 🥰

[@achekadib9170]

very very intelligent bravooo good work...from Tunisia

[@thecodeprofessor]

I would love to see a followup of you showing how you came up with the design, cut list, and parts list. Soon your kids will be ready for a pair of their own shop sandles to use on their own!

[@happywoodworking1304]

Nice simple setup You could make smaller bowls with same jig if you installed a smaller sawblade in table saw to cut out the concave part, and adjust the height of drive bolt (longer bolt) so small halfsphere flat can reach tablesaws table Might need a extra spacer ring to keep bowl centered while cutting Keep up the good work

[@woodworks2123]

After you were finishished cutting the inside, you could've maybe just flipped it over screwed on a couple temp tabs on the underside of the jig so the bowl can't move and then just sand it with the drill spinning so it's much easier than sanding by hand. This is a great way to do a bunch of them fairly quick without the skill of operating a lathe and the time and expense. Good jig and video.

[@BigHeinen]

Nicely done sir! I would have sanded the inside of the bowl while still mounted to the jig @ 21:27 or so.

[@Red12Harley]

Always entertained by your builds. Good work Brad!

[@kevindunleavy4532]

Great idea and video

[@FranksDIY]

What a great idea. Merry charismas to you and your family stay safe

[@qapla]

Nice design. The bowl came out a good shape. One note for reference: When you cut all-thread, screw a nut on before you cut it, then you can use that nut to clean the threads as you screw it off. BTW - denatured alcohol will allow you to remove something on with hot-melt glue - just allow a few minutes to let it work. The alcohol will dry without damaging the wood.

[@DIYBuilds]

For sure

[@yodasbff3395]

The bowl turned out really nice. 👍

[@spencerbass7142]

Pretty darn neat.

[@pablolynch1152]

Just beautiful, thank you so much.

[@cchaos11]

ingenious project and a clear and enjoyable video, thanks !

[@pieteri.duplessis]

Nifty plan, great result and fun to watch.

[@jarrodvsinclair]

That came out great. Good job!

[@johnbrooks1422]

Hi Liked The Table Saw Bowl Making Jig Very Good Idea Great Video

[@joneym4103]

Great job!!!! 👍🏻 For sanding the inside, why not use threaded rod in the chuck that's glued to the bowl and spin the whole thing with the drill and sand it?? That's what I would try and do...

[@DIYBuilds]

I thought of that while I was editing the video lol

[@billmoore6411]

This is great! It goes to the head of my jig building plans!👍

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

Now that’s genius! I’ll make one

[@pacefactor]

That has a surprisingly nice finish.

[@joshmonaco6170]

Wow this is an awesome idea and turned out great! Here I was thinking I couldn't make bowls until I got a lathe! You have earned yourself a sub for this one 👍👍

[@e2linuxos]

Can we please have a few blank bowl speed runs to see how long they take versus your lathe? I'm wondering if this would be a very fast way to rough out a bowl and then finish inside and out on the lathe using the threaded rod. Loved the video, interesting idea imho mainly for roughing out bowl blanks.

[@DIYBuilds]

I feel like anyone with a decent level of expertise on the lathe would be faster than this jig to be honest.

[@andyb7754]

Very nice bowl and jig, keep up the GREAT work and videos. Thank you.

[@peterhkoller]

Absolutely amazing........well done

[@Habibulla.M]

Good one

[@holdemNE1]

Cool engineering. Well done.

[@chrissanchez2152]

That. . . was kind of amazing - also Im pretty sure that was duke nukem doing some of the voice over bits at the beginning and end 🤯

[@DIYBuilds]

I throw duke quotes into most of my videos ;)

[@donaldpowell7762]

My wife had me order a safety sandals shirt and a “don’t worry I saw a guy do it on KZbin “ shirt Friday. Which should I wear while make the jig? 🤣

[@DIYBuilds]

Sandals all the way

[@kammiloo1991]

This is AWASOME!

[@stevenlarsen1691]

Very impressed! Thank you...

[@ParentsandProjects]

Love the intro! The jigs pretty cool too!

[@kimdavis5522]

I'm impressed!

[@DIYBuilds]

Glad to hear ;)

[@devmaxir]

Fantastic. I was impressed.

[@sapelesteve]

Very impressive build Brad & that bowl turned out great! Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well and stay safe! 👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄👍👍

[@alanmcwilliams4264]

Totally impressed Brad, I like the way you innovate. I usually use a heat gun to soften the hot glue but using the CNC why not

[@DIYBuilds]

Thanks :) I think to do it again when I'm thinking more clearly I would have tried a heated up putty knife.

[@simplyphil.photography164]

well it looked easy, so l downloaded plan, might try it after l change my table saw, thank you for sharing

[@lindaloftus8780]

Great video. Very informative and nice bowl.

[@fast4wood]

Very cool . I may just try it myself .

[@jimdelarosa6678]

Awesome Job

[@gilb6982]

Your little helper should wear some < safety croc > when in the shop ! Or at least 2 sock of the same color ! Lol ! By the way it is a great project with a great video !

[@michaelmckenney7214]

Great idea for the bowl! The hot glue will be softened by a little bit of denatured alcohol then wait 2-3 minutes. It comes right off

[@normbright2998]

job well done nice to watch when people have differrent ways of doing things who would ever think like that great mine well done sarnia

[@rosascreativeworks5403]

Interesting. I'd rather use a lathe, but I don't have one ... soooooooo.... well, I've no plans to make a bowl, but it was a fun little project to watch. Interesting ideas. 🌲

[@rexmccomb7589]

That is a very impressive way to make a bowl I like it

[@MikeFyxdt]

Well done!

[@alvimarrochadarosaalvim8018]

Estou impressionado com sua expertise, parabéns pela peça produzida.

[@trngswoodworkingideas3335]

Great idea. Good job

[@jackfishofficial762]

Great and awesome!

[@theinfernalcraftsman]

That dose of Canadian Accent made my day... Back when I was in shop class many years ago we were taught to put a piece of paper between the bowl and the sacrificial mount. It gave you a cleavage layer to make it easier to knock off with a hammer.

[@davidsettles5706]

Genius.

[@wm005]

Love it...

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@johnschmitt5478]

Awesome

[@markjacobsen605]

I am impressed. Very clever jig. Couldn't you have sanded the inside the same way you sanded the outside? Just tilt the thing and spin it holding the sandpaper?

[@DIYBuilds]

Yes. I realized that after

[@robertsoncletokoerner7012]

Parabéns pelo ensinamento. Obrigado pelo que eu aprendi aqui. Muito obrigado! (Robertson - Brasil)

[@user-oe6td7sz3o]

and of course, good idea!

[@matejmazur191]

You just earned my subscription 🙂

[@Highwayman589]

Nice!

[@kameljoe21]

Pretty cool. I would look for and buy a bowl plate. A bowl plate would give you the ability to sand and polish at the same time. A few adjustments to the jig so that you can turn the bowl sideways to sand and polish the inside would work great. Once you have a bowl plate you can make a jig that you can set the bowl in an place the jig on top to center the back side to carve the inside. As long as you keep the measurements the same for the stock piece every time its likely you can make a bunch of bowls in very quick time. Much faster than doing it on a lathe.

[@user-oe6td7sz3o]

quite helper!

[@crackedlid]

The easy way to remove something stuck with hot glue is to use a heat gun. Heat around the edges and heat the tip of your chisel and you can use the chisel to start to lift at the edge. More heat and it will slowly lift off. Just be careful as it can get hot enough to scorch the wood if you aren't paying attention.

[@chrisboyd4433]

Alcohol will also release hot melt glue.

[@glenngrubb9824]

I seem to remember a trick to achieve temporary gluing of wood. Glue brown paper (like the old grocery bags) between the bowl and the other wood piece. The paper will allow the surfaces to shear when it comes time for separation. Try it with scrap wood in case my memory (like everything else) fails me.

[@julietphillips1991]

I am very impressed! That is a gorgeous bowl and the method was, well, unusual. I don't think I will be trying this anytime soon though!

[@mikecostanzo35]

You could have sanded the inside before you took the block off the bottom. Also, a heat gun probably would have released that block. Otherwise, great project!

[@DIYBuilds]

Agreed

[@jebowlin3879]

Nice

[@williammoore4101]

You could have sanded the inside of the bowl in the position you detached your hot glued piece. Awesome jig, man.

[@EarlyRiserWorkshop]

Great jig and build process, extremely well thought out and inspiring. Nice work on filming and editing also. Your style kept me engaged throughout, thanks for uploading.

[@revotrucksimulator]

Top demais...

[@SinChase]

Am I the only one who has a healthy respect for one of the most dangerous tools in the shop and sees this as utterly ridiculous? I'm all for innovation and out of the box ideas but this is just sheer madness.

[@teaguewhite26]

Yes

[@jamesgouthier327]

My high-school shop teacher had us using the tablesaw for shaping in a similar manner. Not as dangerous as you may think and very useful.

[@phonymontana4254]

Great video love how clearly you explain the steps. But i am curious if this can damage your table saw?

[@JessterKing]

Super cool idea, if you have a blow dryer or heat gun, you could use that to get the hot glue off

[@erikamdihalfdanarson3755]

What a power move "Yeah, all you need is a piece of 2x4, but I don't have that crap lying around. So I'm going to rip this 2x10 down to a 2x4" Joking aside, awesome jig👍

[@ZootC]

Even after 40+ years as a shipwright and cabinet maker I still love that I can come here and learn things. Just one question. Why all the Ryobi? Is it a paid sponsorship? Because that's consumer DIY grade here in the UK and you would be laughed off site if you turned up at work with it. Even so, love your work. You have a better brain for it than me and I built a ship!

[@DIYBuilds]

Ryobi is what's cheap and works. Never had an issue with any tool or battery in the 5 years I've been using them. Not sponsored I'm just cheap. I choose to spend my money on other things instead of having what other deem valuable.

[@ZootC]

@@DIYBuilds Thank you so much for the reply. My comment was not intended to be combative. It was as you see. I'm retired now and often see their products in my inbox with a special offer. And I'm from an era when one battery certainly did not fit all, even of the same make ( De Walt or Makita has always been the go to here ). I see that you use Ryobi and I'm genuinely interested in the question of are they up to the job in a workshop that is active. Please don't think I was trying to pick a fight. What works works right? happy new year.

[@DIYBuilds]

I wasn't taking it as a slight against me.. no worries. Happy new year.

[@gr8dvd]

Hope to build/use this ingenious jig on my very old, brilliantly engineered Ryobi BT3000 tablesaw using my Makita power tools. Enjoyed the brief exchange and would love to have your combined ingenuity & experience.
