[@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!

[@CharlieMikeWoodworks]

That was pretty darn cool! Thank you!

[@se38005]

Nice touch having your little helper doing some steps.

[@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!

[@zakishah9621]

woodworker = good dad... 🥰

[@patrickretsel7048]

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

[@yeahright3348]

This feels like a kick-back dream.

[@DIYBuilds]

It's not. It's a fantasy.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

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

[@rawbacon]

Table saw is such a great tool.

[@achekadib9170]

very very intelligent bravooo good work...from Tunisia

[@dfranks50]

I just came across this video and it looks like my kind of fun! Very cool jig. One suggestion, an easier way to remove the hot glue is to pour a little isopropyl alcohol on it. It will come off super easy! I learned this from my 3d printing days. Gotta run... more of your videos to check out.

[@Josh.Wilson]

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

[@DIYBuilds]

She will love that

[@Ashdad99]

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

[@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

[@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..........

[@MadMonk67]

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

[@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.

[@spencerbass7142]

Pretty darn neat.

[@kevindunleavy4532]

Great idea and video

[@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.

[@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 ....:)

[@brownk2]

Love your inventive jigs and your positive attitude.

[@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.

[@kimdavis5522]

I'm impressed!

[@DIYBuilds]

Glad to hear ;)

[@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.

[@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.

[@FishersShop]

Awesome jig, love it!

[@mariushegli]

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

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

Now that’s genius! I’ll make one

[@ВладимирГ-л2ы]

and of course, good idea!

[@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

[@pacefactor]

That has a surprisingly nice finish.

[@yodasbff3395]

The bowl turned out really nice. 👍

[@jimdelarosa6678]

Awesome Job

[@FranksDIY]

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

[@holdemNE1]

Cool engineering. Well done.

[@simplyphil.photography164]

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

[@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

[@TopshelfEnglish]

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

[@stevenlarsen1691]

Very impressed! Thank you...

[@MikeFyxdt]

Well done!

[@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

[@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!!

[@rexmccomb7589]

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

[@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♪

[@ВладимирГ-л2ы]

quite helper!

[@kammiloo1991]

This is AWASOME!

[@pieteri.duplessis]

Nifty plan, great result and fun to watch.

[@jarrodvsinclair]

That came out great. Good job!

[@BigHeinen]

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

[@matejmazur01]

You just earned my subscription 🙂

[@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

[@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

[@owenparker6651]

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

[@Habibulla.M]

Good one

[@johnbrooks1422]

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

[@peterhkoller]

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

[@pablolynch1152]

Just beautiful, thank you so much.

[@alvimarrochadarosaalvim8018]

Estou impressionado com sua expertise, parabéns pela peça produzida.

[@fast4wood]

Very cool . I may just try it myself .

[@trngswoodworkingideas3335]

Great idea. Good job

[@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.

[@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 ;)

[@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!

[@jackfishofficial762]

Great and awesome!

[@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.

[@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👍

[@cchaos11]

ingenious project and a clear and enjoyable video, thanks !

[@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. 🌲

[@ParentsandProjects]

Love the intro! The jigs pretty cool too!

[@lindaloftus8780]

Great video. Very informative and nice bowl.

[@davidsettles5706]

Genius.

[@billmoore6411]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@BPWhitman]

Always entertained by your builds. Good work Brad!

[@andyb7754]

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

[@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.

[@devmaxir]

Fantastic. I was impressed.

[@DonsWoodies]

Very impressive. What's that saying - "to a five year old with a hammer, everything's a nail." Well, to an ingenious adult with a table saw, it's actually a lathe!

[@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

[@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 !

[@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 👍👍

[@johnschmitt5478]

Awesome

[@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!

[@wm005]

Love it...

[@williammoore4101]

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

[@jebowlin3879]

Nice

[@petei5312]

nice idea but i find wood turning on a lathe to be fun and therapeutic, so even though i do have a table saw i won't be trying this. but a good video.

[@Highwayman589]

Nice!

[@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

[@JessterKing]

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

[@ATDLN]

Just a suggestion. Make additional jig that has 2 of the 6 remaining bearings you have and tall enough to run bolt through with bowl attached. Put a stable base and you now have a way to easily sand interior and exterior! Outstanding idea on your jig! Thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@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.

[@iPleadTheFith]

After you cut the center of the bowl, leave it attached to the jig, tilt it and spin it with a sponge sanding block?

[@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.
