Making a Scroll Saw Bowl, Second Edition

In which I show rather than explain the process.
Enjoy the music:
Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and
E's Jammy Jams - Swipesy Cakewalk

Lovely bowl, and I liked the clamp jig equally as well...

[@jahellen]

Thanks! Just be aware the jig can be a little tricky to use at times....

[@Goldinton]

Looks pretty good 👍

[@zigzag5805]

absolutely brilliant . loads of scrap wood I was going to burn or throw away now you have sown a seed with this idea

[@jahellen]

Excellent! Best of luck!

[@PhrontDoor]

Beautifully done.. looks like a wonderful summer project.. thanks.

[@jahellen]

Actually, it was a day-and-a-half project, but thank you!

[@blacksisterswithscrollsaws7373]

Jokes aside.. great!! Well done.

[@jahellen]

Thank you!

[@maggiemacgill3009]

Very good music !!!

[@jahellen]

Thank you! (I try to use music that compliments rather than distracts from the video, although I don't always succeed.)

[@Rudimentary007]

Subbed. That was cool.🤙

[@jameelshareef4789]

Very good work and amazing.

[@1xmarsbar]

Nice work . Thanks for showing.

[@fisherman3083]

Excellent, I will try this. Thanks for the video post and great job on the editing! The music fit really well with the high speed! I just subscribed!

[@jahellen]

Thank you, and good luck with your project!

[@NekonataVirino]

Love the bowl and the T shirt!

[@jahellen]

Thank you!

[@jeucedahn]

Awesome! Beautiful job, really impressive

[@jahellen]

Thanks!

[@1958linedancer]

beautiful bowl, I must try this one day

[@jahellen]

Thank you! Get out there and give it a shot.

[@gnising8535]

Very Nice 😁

[@smoleyhokes]

That was excellent. A bit fast for my old eyes to pick up on the sanding blocks you are using but I think I can figure that out. Thanks for a very intuitive video. Now, I must go make one.

[@jahellen]

To smooth out the initial glue up I (probably) used 100 grit then 150 grit. The drill flap wheel was 60 grit; the sanding sponges were 60 and 120 grit. The belt sander shaping was done with 80 grit. Final hand sanding was with 150 and 220; the oil was rubbed in with 600. Good luck on your build!

[@smoleyhokes]

Thanks for the quick reply. You answered my questions perfectly. A great video.

[@jahellen]

You're welcome. Let me know how your attempt comes out.

[@smoleyhokes]

I will but I have a list of stuff that has to come first.

[@jahellen]

No worries. Get to it when you can.

[@marcallen1246]

Beautiful work gave me some new ideas is there anyway I can get the pattern

[@jahellen]

I used the plans in "Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw" by Carole Rothman.

[@drakewilliams10dw]

Great work and thanks for the video. I don’t understand the point of the tape though.

[@jahellen]

The tape's there for two reasons: 1) to be able to glue the pattern to something that will peel easily off the wood, and 2) to lubricate the scroll saw blade and prevent burning the wood.

[@CM7667]

Very nice what type of wood did you use?

[@jahellen]

It's made with some cherry, maple, and walnut scraps that I had laying around.

[@gracenjuguna7292]

It's a beaut!

[@jahellen]

Thank you!

[@wolfgang4468]

Not too bad for 8 minutes something, you're damn fast :)))

[@jahellen]

All those years watching Benny Hill scurry around paid off!

[@madheliflyer9038]

Well done

[@jahellen]

Thank you.

[@WoodenCraft]

Amazing! Nice job! Follow you)

[@petervanrensburg4171]

Nice bowl

[@jahellen]

I appreciate the kind words!

[@royball7005]

Like this very much. I have got to have a go. Where can I get the paper template?

[@jahellen]

You can find the template in "Wooden Bowls from the Scrollsaw" by Carole Rothman, although it's not too hard to just draw the pattern out yourself.

[@royball7005]

Thanks. I ordered it yesterday. 🙂

[@ConditionZero76]

Beautiful Bowl Great job!! We're would I find that printable pattern? Thank you

[@ConditionZero76]

@@jahellen Excellent, Thank you!!

[@yusufshullai2452]

How come your shorts are clean after all that sanding?

[@jahellen]

They're the same color as the dust I'm creating. XD

[@ImaZicaArt]

good work there what degree did u take to cut #imazicaart

[@jahellen]

I made the cuts at 28 degrees.

[@jeffoldham668]

where did you get the pattern

[@jahellen]

I just made it up myself from random bits of scrap. The idea is from 'Wooden Bowls from the Scrollsaw.'

[@totaltaff8886]

Did you do a 45 degree cut on the scroll saw.

[@jahellen]

1:54 No, 28 degrees.

[@priyasaparia3099]

Can we use to serve food as it has resin coating ?

[@jahellen]

If you going to serve food in it I'd recommend using shellac or a mineral oil/beeswax combo as your finish. Other finishes are supposed to be food-safe when fully cured, but these two are definitely the easiest to apply and will cure very quickly.

[@lennyf1957]

5:53 Nice bench, you make that?

[@jahellen]

No, that came with the house. It fell apart not long after I made this video....

[@arthurapon7485]

Fastastic work, But next time when you show us what your doing these old eye of mine don't focus quite as fast as they use to. Can you slow down just a little bit, on that part. When you cut the 28 degree I take it that the others were the same? I really liked the fast finish what was it?

[@jahellen]

All the layers were cut at 28 degrees. The finish is Danish oil. Thanks for watching!

[@allanmclean6659]

Mr Apon... Use the speed control on You Tube (the gear symbol, lower left corner area to speed up or slow down the action. I find myself using the 50% speed a lot, 75% you can still understand the speech... Hope it helps( I have the same problem)

[@arthurapon7485]

I didn't even think about doing that thanks a lot?

[@bobhebert871]

Why post a video with little to no instruction. For the music?

[@stevedarnell8444]

I know this was 6 years ago but kill the music

[@beartechdeck]

What’s with the music? Could’ve put some slow Metallica in it instead. Nice bowl and good job though.

[@jahellen]

Yeah, but Metallica is pretty uptight about licensing and copyright. :P

[@davidgilchrist3270]

Metallica? Trying to give us a tumor?

[@allanmclean6659]

I liked the ragtime, didn't interfere withe understanding what you were doing !!

[@gerardotorres3374]

O

[@jahellen]

O.o

[@rondavis6017]

Hi speed videos do nothing for me because when you showed something to the camera it’s not there long enough for anybody to see what’s going on that’s one of the worst videos I’ve ever seen

[@jahellen]

Then my channel probably isn't for you.

[@simplyforfun9350]

then turn the speed down.

[@lomein9320]

It's a great video. If you need to, adjust the playback speed. Top right corner, 3 verticals dots.
