Stumpy, Even with 40+ years in and around wood shops this method is new to me... yours is a great adaptation and presentation of the method you credit to Richard. I love to see this kind of diversity from a such a standard piece of shop equipment! Very well produced video too... you make that part look much easier than it is :-)

[@Amityfd1]

Have found myself watching your tutorials more often, as a soon to be retired firefighter/Fire Chief I plan on spending a lot of time in my shop which is being remodeled. Watching you has really pushed me to get back at it and I was wondering if there were PDF plans for this jig that can be obtained? I followed closely but there were a couple points I was not clear on. Thank you and please keep up the good work you are doing!

[@usageorgepa.3293]

As for the jig being safe,it certainly is safer than most.. Still, constant reminders that certain tools have a taste for fingers is a good thing,,and Stumpy always gives this reminder. Been woodworking over 60 years and I will say one thing...A good first aid kit is the most important tool in any workshop.......I'm sure Stumpy would agree.

[@philb1466]

That was absolutely genius! Thank you for such a clear step by step explanation, I can't wait to build the jigs and give that one a go!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Great video James. Loved your tutorial on the process.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thank you for sharing this with us James!

[@billh9643]

Simple and brilliant. Thank you for ANOTHER great tutorial. Signed A BIG FAN

[@jamesstanlake4064]

I use table saw voodoo to cut perfect circles on it and use other power tools for other things like turn pens with a router mounted in a router table and lets not forget perfect cove moldings on a table saw. So many options to use machinery and power tools for seemingly unrelated tasks.

[@billprocter942]

Probably won't do this on my table saw, but loved the video. Thanks for the creative content.

[@ladykenja2700]

- W O W ! ! ! creativity has no limits. Thanx for sharing.

[@leksey7870]

Amazing! Made a vase without a lathe! Good tool!

[@glencrandall7051]

This certainly a novel way of turning a bowl. It's a pretty good looking bowl too. I guess if you don't have a lathe and want to do more than one or two bowls it would be worth he cost and effort to construct the jigs. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@pizzawarlord9232]

I love using a lathe but this looks like a great project to try. Very cool

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

Great job.

Another great video from you; I always enjoy them. I bet you really looked forward to that remark at the end. ;)

[@Kenzo-st9tf]

Nice tips man & thank you very much

[@nadiemequire]

Hmmm, just might give this method a try. Thanks for posting.

[@jlang8213]

Very cool! If you haven't already you should check out turning a bowl on a table saw by izzy swan. He has a video similar to your method and he also has some videos utilizing a crazy, cool jig powered by a drill that can also be used to cut spirals on the outside of the bowl.

[@zTribalstylerz]

Super cool!

Just seen this. Impressive.

[@vauxchristo4537]

Amazing

[@mikef0328]

I like it. A lot simpler than Izzy's.

WOW beautiful

[@apowell389]

Having difficulty finding Mr. Tendick's bowl jig plans. By chance do you have those plans or can you point me in the right direction?

[@toxman69]

You had me at 'because you can!"

[@dhtsoaedsdhtnadi9575]

not to mention the most important reason for climbing a mountain.

[@bigchooch4434]

THANK YOU. SOMEBODY finally shows how to MAKE one, and doesn't just TALK about how they have one."

[@kleinjahr]

Nice jigs. I've got Capotosta's book around here, somewhere, he does something similar. His jig was an over head with a screw to hold the work down. He also did some interesting things by tilting the blade at various angles.

[@StumpyNubs]

Rosario Capotosto?

[@kleinjahr]

Sorry my bad. It's De Cristoforo's "Complete Book of Power Tools". The section on lathe work at the tablesaw. Though Capotosto does have a nice simple jig for hollowing bowls.

[@johnevans5286]

Hey Stumpy nice way make a bowl. Do you have plans for the jigs you used?

[@sipp5575]

Could u cut the inside with the table saw, then cut the outside with a band saw?

[@Sicparvismagna98]

Funnily enough, I discovered that you can do this in a woodworking manual from the 1920’ and decided to see how it is really done

[@davemccracken6436]

with different blade sizes available, it would be fun to make a set of bowls.... now, where do I find the time??????? Between using a drill press for turning SOME things, I know that a lather can do more, but I will play with what I have and accessorize my existing stuff! Thanks for this, James.

[@davemccracken6436]

lather should be lathe, but may just be an apt description for some of what is said about that tool!

[@imortaldeadead]

Interesting way to make a bowl, And looks to be a safe way too Thanks for showing us this 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Richard Tendick is a mechanical genius!

[@StumpyNubs]

Yes he is :)

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

0:12... is that a Founder's All Day IPA I see in a Detroit coozy? I know another Michigander when I spot one!

[@fryefoto]

Nice, Stumpy!

[@RazzlePhoxx]

pretty much how i thought you'd do it but still nice to watch, was just wondering why the second jig holds the bowl so high up away from the table though

[@StumpyNubs]

The edge of the bowl that is getting cut is only 3/4" above the top of the saw (the thickness of the base panel)

[@RazzlePhoxx]

@Stumpy Nubs fair enough. It must be the diameter of the bowl and thickness of the blank making it look a lot higher than it is

[@dhdo411]

How would you adjust the jigs for different sized bowls?

[@StumpyNubs]

You can't.

[@majorkonfuzion1007]

i did it with love.

[@seanokane3934]

Hey stubby what ban saw are you using, I need an upgrade

[@StumpyNubs]

Who is stubby?

[@seanokane3934]

@@StumpyNubs sorry auto correct stumpy

[@kellyvcraig]

On the first part, I am guessing I could cut a circle out big enough to, tightly, fit a square or rectangle. That would allow you to make square or rectangle cutting boards for ulu type knives. Thanks for the lead.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

I’m torn, is this insanely genius or insanely dangerous? Table saw blades are not designed to cut that way. I want to try, but I know exactly how much kickback HURTS! I’d love to hear what a saw manufacturer thinks of this. Either way, it’s a damn cool video, thanks!

[@StumpyNubs]

Table saw blades have been used to cut coves for generations. Cove cutting requires feeding the bard sideways over the top of the blade between two fences. This is essentially the same as cove cutting, just circular.

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

Now you just need a jig for a convex outside, and you're all set.

[@johnthompson6656]

Izzy Swan has a video of the jig he built to turn a convex outside on a bowl. Not building it, but running it. Both of these methods are very interesting.

[@ckingclosur]

very nice indeed I looked into those 5 dislike and I said to myself those must be wood turning guys got pissed off

[@ronaldleger5871]

Way back in December 2013, IZZY SWAN also showed how he made bowls on a table saw or on a router table. He also developed a jig to make a variety of bowls. He was supposed to sell plans for the jig, and teased us often. Yet, he never produced plans. Does that say something to you. Check his KZbin link - December 2013

[@StumpyNubs]

You may be surprised to know Izzy didn't invent table saw bowl turning, even if his was the first video you saw about it.

[@ronaldleger5871]

I didn't say he invented "table saw bowl turning". I said he invented a bowl turning jig. He said he would produce and sell plans for this jig, but he never did ... just like you and your woodrat copy project. You guys missed the boat. You could have made a lot of money selling the plans.

[@StumpyNubs]

Fair enough, but it also seemed like you were implying that he didn't for a reason. You said: "Yet, he never produced plans. Does that say something to you..." What were you getting at? Or were you just asking if I knew?

[@dontfit6380]

Seriously you have to love these guys that come on advertising someone else’s business on someone else’s business. Do they walk into Walmart and tell the manager how great target is? Great video as always think I’ll give it a try.

[@TheDistur]

Very interesting! But I'll stick to the lathe.

[@markw3598]

I like saving money.

[@scheppach69]

I think I will buy a lathe

[@markw3598]

I don't like holes in the bottom of my projects! ;-)

[@jlang8213]

Mark W: no need to have holes if you have the right equipment, even on a lathe.

[@garyoa1]

Hmm... what with time, labor and materials... probably be cheaper to just buy a low end lathe.

[@willsimonton1246]

First like lol great vid, good to know

[@befmx31]

Stumpy, it looks to me like your left pinky finger won't straighten out. Is that correct? Only reason I ask is because I had two of those (one on each hand or course) that I just had to have fixed. Anyway, if that is the case here and you haven't researched it yet or even know the name of the condition in order to research, shoot me an email and I will be glad to share my knowledge. I am subscribed to your channel but I am not sure if you can get my email from there. Oh yeah, enjoyed the video!

[@Hutchy45445]

Cool exercise, but that's one expensive bowl lol

[@StumpyNubs]

How so? A few small pieces of plywood and you can make unlimited bowls.

[@Hutchy45445]

@@StumpyNubs yes, assuming the purpose was to produce them to sell. But initially, if I were to purchase the plywood, Mitre bars and possibly a dado blade, it wouldn't be cheap if it was for personal use. Don't get me wrong, you produce very informative videos and tutorials; I enjoy them allot and appreciate them. Thanks 😁

[@StumpyNubs]

@@Hutchy45445 - Woodworking is not a cheap hobby. If you're going to make something by hand, it's going to cost a bit. You can't start with $0 as your baseline. Start with the price of a lathe and the tooling you'd need to turn a bowl the traditional way, then tell me these bowls are expensive.

[@Hutchy45445]

@@StumpyNubs good point.

[@joshisms2pesosonaquascapin164]

What can’t a table saw do?

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I can't say that I am a fan of this technique. It "probably" won't go bad, but if that jig slips while hollowing (due to setup error), or the timber is filled with cracks and voids...god help the poor bugger holding on to it. But as I say, it probably won't happen because you are using thick stock and taking only light cuts.

[@StumpyNubs]

The jig is locked to the top of the saw. How is it going to slip? And even if it somehow moved, how would that bring your hands into contact with the blade? Anytime you use a table saw, you take on a small amount of risk. But this jig is safer than most. As for your wood being filled with voids and cracks, that will give you problems no matter what tool you use it on, be it a lathe, or even crosscutting/ripping on a table saw.

[@markw3598]

Sigh, always has to be some 'critics', eh!??
