How to Make A Bowl with a Router

[@buildingtrades7070]

Great job.. I teach Carpentry at a high school trade school. And I love the way you use the router. I am going to make a set of bowls myself using this method, then I will teach my students. Thanks for the insight...

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@hazelparr8461]

I really shouldn't have started watching this! Im a polymer clay artist who loves making bowls completely from polymer clay but they can take a week per bowl and my Dad loved wood and passed that love on and i can't want to make something else now!! These are just so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@SixEightWoodworks]

I get it! So much fun. Thank you!

[@stephenmcgeown]

Those bowls turned out so beautifully! I appreciate the detail you put into your videos and your ability to communicate these steps so well!

Much appreciated!

[@brplatten1273]

thank you I knew it could be done. you have given me some great tips. I'm a 65 yr. old great grandmother and I have been piddling with wood all my life, but I am now I'm learning more about the tools, and you are great with instructions so again thank you

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Thank you so much! That’s really been the goal. Appreciate it!

[@MrJesseLY]

I love this video. I learned SO much. After a few tries, I finally got a bowl I am happy with. One shortcut that I found worked for me was to use double stick tape to hold the bowl down, making sure to tape both the bowl area and the outer excess area. Then I routed the inner ring to its final depth, followed by the outer ring all the way through to a piece of scrap wood. That saved the step of cutting off the excess part with a bandsaw (or jigsaw, in my case). It also saved the cleanup with a flush trim bit on the outside of the bowl. The double stick tape held perfectly. .

[@deanarogers9848]

As a very new Wood Worker ( shhh don't say anything have not made anything yet lol) I am watching as many Videos as I can to learn different things and ways to make an Item before just jumping in. Oh and to convince the other half to start buying me my OWN tools haha. Loved this video I think I can do this.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

😊 It’s how I started as well. This project is pretty approachable. Have fun with woodworking!

[@aussiegrace]

This is the BEST video on KZbin with the different chapters available for ease of finding what we are looking for in the video. Perfect. Awesome bowls too. lol

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Really appreciate it!

[@stephaniemorey902]

WOW! You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. I'm looking forward to giving this a try!

It’s a blast! Have fun!

[@Sebastopolmark]

This is a GREAT video/turorial, timestamps and tools used. You show/tell how many different tools can accomplich the same task and you share your tips and tricks to get the job done. For the life of me, I cannot see why there are (at this time) 32 thumbs down lug nuts. If you are watching the video you must be interested in woodworking so - What's there not to like. Maybe they are jealous woodworkers that don't have the skill to do this??? ALL the bowls came out wonderful! !! !!!

Thanks! I try to keep that in mind and share options where I can.

[@pmorris6508]

One thing you didn't mention that a router can do that no lathe can, is to make bowls any shape. If you use a template you can create similar bowls any shape you like, not just round!

[@nicracine]

One of the best tutorials I have seen on YT. Simple explanations, not rushed, thorough. Most of all, inspiring. If it wasn't winter here, I would rush to the shop to try and make bowls right now. You got a new subscriber.

[@jenniferspence7092]

Wow!! These are beautiful and I love how well you explain step by step the different options and actually show the process as you go through making them. I have a 10 year old son with severe adhd and mild autism and we started going to the kids workshops at home depot awhile back and my cousin and her son went with us one time and her son (he's 3 year older than my son) said to me that he's never seen my son so focused on anything ever. And I noticed the same thing. He was just right into it and I totally subscribed to your channel just show my son the amazing things he could make if he wants to really get into woodworking. We made nightstands at school when I was in junior high and I still have mine. I have no idea if they'll be teaching this stuff when he gets to that level in school but I sure hope so.

Want to make life a little easier? Use the dust collection attachment for that plunge base and drill a few holes in the newly fabricated clear base [sled] that is used to "hog" out the center material [around the 20 min mark]. You can use a shop vac or your D.C. system. It'll clean as you go, saving some time and make things just "easier" because you can see what you're doing. Excellent How To video. Thank you!!

That certainly works, they look great. In regards to the water material, with turning you can use jigs that allow you to cut multiple bowls from a blank. Saves material and gives you more product in the end.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

Love this video, especially the tip about the backwards miter gauge. As far as sanding the segments, caution should be taken not only to preserve the angle, but the width of the segment as well. Honestly, the angle is easier to protect than the width by sanding on a good flat base. But removing the width will prevent the ring from matching up in a way that can't be recovered. This is especially true if it happens over multiple pieces.

[@mikefinley4367]

Awesome video, exactly what I was looking for. Just needed a visual and picked up a couple of other tips as well. Very educating and the instruction delivery excellent. Maybe you should consider a wood working class teaching at a community college level ? Just show your videos to administration and see if you can pick up some extra money if needed.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

[@ardenchristophercapadocia7056]

Really love vids with natural light coming in like this one. Lit 🔥

[@ypaulbrown]

If no one has mentioned yet, you can put the hole in the plexiglass base by just lowering the router bit into the plexiglass while running, at least for smaller bits this works great.....a big hole like for a 1" bit may be running too fast for the plexiglass to not stick/gall to the bit. Anyway, it will be perfectly aligned with the router this way....cheers for a great video, Bravo, Paul
