30:11 Young man I'm 65 and I grew up building cabinets with my Dad. I want you to know your videos are really good! You are an awesome wood worker, keep sharing your God given talent!!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . 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!
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...
Thank You for teaching the trade!!!
Don't let it die !
In which school do you teach
A great endorsement. Thank you for passing skills on to others.

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!
Well done! I like how detailed your demonstrations are and how you use alternate methods to make the bowls.
Ótimo trabalho!
Aprendi muito com sua técnica.
Deus te abençoe sempre.
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
Really great job! Thanks for being so thorough with your instructions.
Love the first t-shirt message. This bowl idea is creative to the max and well-presented.
Great info on creating beautiful bowls using a different method.Thank you!
It is great to see an alternative to turning bowls on a lathe. I really like the idea of using segments combined with other glue ups.
I have the Arbortech tools as well and have wanted to get into more carving of bowls and such with them. Looking forward to seeing you use the Arbortech tools in upcoming videos.
Awesome! Yeah, segmenting is such a great option. Love the Arbortech attachments and power carving.
Wow, they all look amazing. Love your information about different tools and using what you have in the shop instead of paying out big bucks.
Appreciate it!
I think reusing the wood chips in resin would really look cool for a bowl or cup and other things. Especially with all those different colors of wood chips in there.
Thanks for showing these tips. I really appreciate and enjoyed watching the video. 👍
Unbowlievable video. Thanks for sharing I know there’s a lot of work that goes into making these videos. Appreciate it!
Thank you so much!
This is the BEST video on UA-cam with the different chapters available for ease of finding what we are looking for in the video. Perfect. Awesome bowls too. lol
Really appreciate it!
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. .
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!
Great work I love seeing the passion for your work it shows up in your product
Santa kindly brought me my 1st drill press last year & 1st orbital sander this year... so stoked for both! I don't yet have a router but this vid gave me ideas for my 2 tools which I hadn't previously considered... Thank you for the voice-over explanations, these are what I call Useable Art! You are a Master! New Sub. 😃
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.
Thanks for adding alternative tools, techniques, & finished with pros/cons.
Absolutely!
It's great job! Thanks! You shows easy way instead of too much heavy equipment dependency.
Great idea for the extended router plate. Making one today.
this was a great video. i loved that you understand that not everyone is a wood worker and cant afford all the equipment right away. cant wait for more videos!
Thanks! I try to keep that in mind and share options where I can.
I really appreciate the thoroughness of your explanations! Thanks you!
Thank you! I try to include al the steps.
Router Bowls!! I am following this and am adding the things I need to get this accomplished. Good job and keeping the explanation to the point.
Much appreciated! It’s a fun project.
Great job !!! They look great and you gave the right amount of information without beating it to death. Keep up the great work
Really appreciate it!
Sensacional!
Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Sou grato.
That’s a great idea. Bowls are looking so pretty. Thanks for the content❤️
Great job. Those bowls turned out so beautifully
A great video. Teaches everything you need to know step by step. Not making a bowl start to finish in 60 seconds. I appreciate the knowledge you have shared. You are really helping a beginner like myself. Subscribed.
What a wonderful introduction to making bowls with the router.
Some great tips there....
Looks like I may have to discard some templates, and dig out that Jasper circle jig.
Thanks also for showing the source for all the tools/supplies.
I tend to do more bowls than any other woodwork, so will be using your method for sure.....
Thank you so much!
Excelente trabajo. Felicidades!!!!
The bowls came out awesome, I am going to try this out. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate it! Have fun making some!
Very thoughtful, thorough and creatively entertaining. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for the woodworking class! Excellent video 👍🏻
Hope it helped!
Hi Nick, Found you from a recommended list on YT and I'm so glad I did.
Brilliant video.
I have a lathe that will allow me to turn 16" bowls over the bed rails and bigger if I turn outboard but this is a brilliant idea which I will copy.
I will be looking at you cutting board videos as it is something I want to get into.
I have subbed and hit the bel
Take care Nick.
Cheers, from the UK, Huw
You got me, Nick! You are so awesome and your projects are so amazing! Beautiful😍
Amazing! Loved watching an alternative to the lathe.
I am actually in the process of making some dice trays for table top gaming. This video is super informative and has helped me rethink the rest of my project. Way to work smarter and not harder!
They finished now? How did they turn out?
Awesome video, I'm never going to make bowls but I learnt a few things which will help me in a few projects and ideas... Thank you.
Lindo trabalho meu amigo 👍👍 parabéns 👏👏.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Nick, I have been making bowls with a router for a while, just using the big flat bit and a spiral upcut bit. After watching this I am going to try it with a bowl bit and drill press. So many great tips here. I will also try it with a lathe. Awesome video.
how were you removing all the excess in the middle? i don't have a drill press..
@@micljbitty I did it with a lathe
Just found your channel! Awesome man! It’s hard to find woodworkers that are super knowledgeable and not pretentious. Really good vibes and great content!
Thank you so much! That’s really been the goal. Appreciate it!
Absolutely beautiful work. Love the variety and all the options you give. Easy to follow all that you say as well. You are great at explaining everything in simple terms.
Appreciate it!
Like the gigantic hose clamp idea for gluing your ring together. Gotta try that myself. Thanks!
Wow!! Those are beautiful!!
Really love vids with natural light coming in like this one. Lit 🔥
Love the message on the shirt you ended the video with, and the bowls are gorgeous!
Words I strive to love by. Thanks!
que bonito trabajo y el uso del router muy profecional, felicidades
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho ficou linda a gamelas
Fantastic work man! Thanks to publishing this video!
Just found your site and happily subscribed love what you do with a router the finished product is stunning
Great tutorial!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all
Hope it helps!
Hey! Just watched this video, the first of yours that I've seen. I subscribed right after. I really like the way you present, kind of like we're just a couple a dudes in a garage talking. Great info too. I am inspired to try my hand at making bowls with a router.
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.
Meeee toooo! What a tutorial!!!
Much appreciated! Have some sawdust fun when you thaw out.
Thanks!
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
Beautiful bowls.. Thanks for showing us the process.
Thanks!
Those stripey bowls are _gorgeous_ !
Appreciate it!
Absolutely beautiful work!! I always look forward to your videos
I really appreciate that!
I did get excited about your videos. Thanks for being so detailed.
Great to hear! Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful work!!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
I am a beginner woodworker and loved to learn from you. Great video and amazing bowls! Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to creating some bowls like yours!
Awesome! Have fun!
Congratulazioni. Sei la mia fonte d'ispirazione.
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.
Yeah, the coring systems are great for turning.
Great video. I've made multiple cutting boards and am ready to move on. Thanks!
Great job! Super!
Extremely well done! Boy, I’ve got so much to learn!
Thank you!
Stunning creations. So well explained. Thank you.
AWESOME! Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks!
Great explication of every step. I gotta get better at that! Making a bowl for a school fundraiser. Thanks!
This is an excellent video. The tools list is very helpful, as not everyone has every one of those tools on hand, even in a well-equipped shop.
I just finished using your technique to make 6 bowls. I had always wanted to replace my many template/flush trim bits with the spiral up cut or down cut bit, which I did do but was a little disappointed. You really have to get the amount of material to be removed to be less than 1/8 inch, and on a big bowl, the base may be a bit thicker than 1-1/8 inch which is the max cutting height. I ended up using my disk sander after the bandsaw to get the material almost flush first. Otherwise the spiral bit grabs the material similar to the flush trim bit which surprised me. I had also wanted a spiral cutting bit to make the circles, and I got the one you recommend and it does work well. If you are making deep bowls, you need a router with a significant plunge range, as you can not use the bit/collet extender. I found my router to have trouble retracting up high enough to start the first cut, even with the 4 in long bit fully set into the collet. Also, your bowl bit has to have a bearing diameter bigger than the collect on the extender, which is 1". I just bought a new bowl bit, 1-1/8" dia, and used it with the extender, then went to put it the router with no extender to clean out a shallower bowl. I quickly discovered that the shank is not 1/2", but is 31/64", which the router collet will not tighten down on. So now I can only use that bit with the extender as I doubt I can return it since I used it. I have never heard of a 31/64" shank until yesterday. Overall, this is a lot of work, but because you have shown a streamlined approach, it is worth the effort. I am now going to adapt this approach and make a matching set of 4 oversized wooden steak plates. I am thinking of using birds eye maple!
Wow!! So beautiful! Awesome video!
Great products and awesome video, thank you.
Thanks. Nice bowls
I'm not a wood worker, but my father is. Great tips/tricks and fantastic end product! What a perfect video. Great info, great tempo, packed full of info... VERY IMPRESSIVE!
