Joe Laird came from Dublin to the Woodshed to show us how to make his "Square Bowl". As usual Joe
had prepared some work before coming North and gave a very good demo of this technique.
To see what
he did scroll the pictures below.

To do this you need one of these
|
|
Carefully mark the exact centre and mount between centres
|
|
Once cylindrical, finish with a scraper
|
|
Measure the cylinder Diameter and mark this dimension onto the cylinder
|
|
After sizing the cylinder to length, mark the exact centre fo remounting on the other axis
|
|
Next turn this to a cylinder
|
|
Scrape and turn this to a finish as well
|
|
The finish of the first part. Separate the two halves and mark the centre of the top of the bowl
|
|
With a special holder mounted on a faceplate mount the bowl and brinthe surface to your desired shape.
|
|
Finish the top surface, holding with the tailstock, leave the centre as a spigot
|
|
Use the spigot to remount and finish the base of the bowl, take off and remount in the special chuck
and hot glue into place
|
|
Finish the inside of the bowl
|
|
Remove for the chuck by heating the glue
