Excellent instructional video. Built the jig today. Used scrap softwood for my first try. The result was a mess but the fault was mine. I had forgotten about the riving knife which interfered with the rotating blank. My second attempt, after removing the riving knife and using a plywood blank was OK. I found I got a smoother cut by raising the blade by no more than a quarter turn and rotating the blank slowly. After sanding I was surprised how well it turned out. Thank you.
I finally built one of these my self but with a long screw and nuts that allows me to adjust the height depending of the thickness of the wood beeing cut. Awesome jig! Thanks Colin!
GREAT project Colin. What I like about this one is that even if you have a "tooth" failure, it's self contained within the dome and there really should not be any external damage to the saw OR YOU! !! !!! Could even put a 7 1/4" blade in and make a smaller bowl.
What a really unique way to make a little bowl! There have been so many different videos out on how to cut circles and bowls on the table saw and I must say yours looks the best. I love the way you have everything screwed down and it looks very safe. Some of us that aren't as familiar with doing something like this it does seem intimidating some but with your description it looks perfect! Thanks so much Colin for making all of these wonderful videos.
U dont need to put 4 screws in the turning block, just 2 will work my husband has made 125 of these in a little over a years time, he makes his out of 3//4 thick cherry, maple, walnut and a combination of 2 different woods. These things are neat, thanks for the video of the jig.
Just built mine. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your knowledge and creativity! Now I just have to learn how to count apparently... Cheers!
Hello Collin. Fantastic video. I am a doctor from Rio de Janeiro Brazil. I enjoy woodworking here in my country and I am used to watching your videos in the Internet. I've been looking for a jig like this one for months that fits exactly for a project I intend to make. Congratulations.
Hi Colin. Thanks for the great jig. I made a couple of bowls with it already. And thank you for emphasizing the importance of aligning the bolt and jig to the center of the blade. Interestingly, it was also important that the bolt be perpendicular to the table top once it's inserted in the pilot block. If not, you'll end up with a bowl off center to the work piece. At least that's happened to me when I made a bowl with a thicker piece and the bolt went into the pivot hole at a slight angle. I consider it another skill building moment for me. Thanks again.
In my auto play, there was another video you made for a table saw circle jig. With the sacrificial plywood attached (center hole), could this dish be modified in such a way to make it round and eliminate the screw holes? Hot glue perhaps?
I was wondering about the holes from the screws in the bottom. Do you fill them in? My first thought was to round the outside corners on the band saw to remove them. Your thoughts?
Hi Colin, I enjoy your tutorials and the way you explain things. I have been a carpenter for over 50 years, although not on the tools for the most part. I am better with a sledgehammer and a chainsaw, but enjoy finishing work and learning from you.
Great idea! I like how you frequently use the clamps, something I forget to do, that extra set of hands. You could use a circle jig to round this out and if the saw was set at an angle it would look interesting.
Thank you, If I not see your making I never could find this attachment.but I was thought first time I set the table saw center the wood and cut then 90 degree turn the wood and cut then I down the Saw one step and cut both sides horizontal twice bkz now wood gradually have to extend right and left sides then again down the Saw and cut again but not thought like you 360 degree turning until good finishing. you really respectable person to me. thanks.
As an extension of the jig and the concept, we could move the fence out and cut the outside radius too, with the same jig. Even better would be to hinge on the vertical plane, and get the correct radius and wall thickness of the bowl. Finally, flatten the base with a cross cut on the table saw. This will bid goodbye to the lathe for bowls. Make slight variations to the concept and design, and we could use a router; use profile cutters on the router, and the possibilities multiply. To sum it up, a wonderful concept.
My husband makes these out of 3/4 thick stock if u cut the wood to be turned 5 3/4 by 5 3/4 you can turn the blade 7 turns provided you have a 10 inch blade on your saw
That is to neat of a project that I've got make. And I would think by sliding the rip fence back this would allow to make a circle cutting jig as well. THANKS.
Well, Colin, your jig worked perfectly BUT I found I would need a 15" diameter sawblade to match the curve on the cutter - back to the drawing board! I may well make some of those little bowls now I have the jig. Thanks again.
WOW! Thank You for all your ideas and sharing them with us! Do you have a "Jig" for taking that bowl and making it round after cutting the "bowl " out?
Nice work, Colin! However wouldn't it be less damaging for the bottom of the bowl to use double-adhesive tape? Also, how about rounding the outside of the bowl? How would you recommend this? Thanks!
Just made this. Had the jig and bowl done in an hour. Worked Great! Thank you!
Nice idea, and the best part is that it opens up new possibilities that I hadn't thought about.
Thank you, Colin is a great addition to the homemade jig collection.

You are the king of the jigs Colin .. very cool.
Thank You, Dan Yodice!
This is brilliant, Colin! Very impressive. I’d have never thought you could do something like this on a tablesaw

This ranks right up there with Izzy Swan's table saw bowling ball. Clever!

Looks like a great way to make cigar ashtrays.
I was wondering about the holes from the screws in the bottom. Do you fill them in? My first thought was to round the outside corners on the band saw to remove them. Your thoughts?
Fascinating. I always questioned the safety of shaping with a table saw, but with your jig, I think I may give it a go. Thanks!
Super cool! You could batch those out pretty quick for craft shows. Cheers! Chris.

Thank you for this! I was having issues with making a jig and this video helped a ton!
As always, a great vídeo, Thank you Colin
You're Welcome!
Hola soy daniel de Argentina.
Excelente, brillante.
Aprendo mucho con ustes
This is pretty cool! I wouldn't have thought you could do that on a table saw!
Great idea! I like how you frequently use the clamps, something I forget to do, that extra set of hands. You could use a circle jig to round this out and if the saw was set at an angle it would look interesting.
Thank You, Gordon! Yes, there's a lot of interesting ways you could finish these bowls/ dishes!
Thank you, If I not see your making I never could find this attachment.but I was thought first time I set the table saw center the wood and cut then 90 degree turn the wood and cut then I down the Saw one step and cut both sides horizontal twice bkz now wood gradually have to extend right and left sides then again down the Saw and cut again but not thought like you 360 degree turning until good finishing. you really respectable person to me. thanks.
Thanks Mr.Colin it is a very nice idea to get a dish by the table saw👍👌👏
You're Welcome!
very good solution. I like it very much.

This is a super project, cant wait to have a go at this, thanks for sharing, from across the pond in the good old UK
As allways, great short video showing how to improve own woodworking in shortest time. Sunny regards from Germany dear Colin!
Thanks for watching!
loved it - can't wait to try it
My husband makes these out of 3/4 thick stock if u cut the wood to be turned 5 3/4 by 5 3/4 you can turn the blade 7 turns provided you have a 10 inch blade on your saw
Pretty cool Colin!
تسلم الأيادي
Superbe installation. Merci encore pour cette vidéo!
Thank You!
What did you do with the screw holes in the bottom of the bowl? As for your setup...wish I had thought of that! Thanks.
Very nice job keep show us man...from mauritius
You are awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you very much 💟💟
wow the world will never be the same
Very good idea and a brilliant simple jig. Thank you from the UK. look forward to your next videos.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Good job!
Great ideal another thing to add to my list
Thanks for watching!
Great piece!! You could also change to a smaller saw blade and have a different size shape.
nice thanks
Very clever.
Thank You!
Very nice Colin 👍
Thank You!
Very interesting, great idea.
I love this!! Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Fantástico. Excelente dica e também muito prático! Great job!!!
Thank You!
That is a very original idea. And perfectly explained. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You, Hans! Thanks for watching once agian!
For me it is original, I've never seen it before. Not in real, not on UA-cam.
That is to neat of a project that I've got make. And I would think by sliding the rip fence back this would allow to make a circle cutting jig as well. THANKS.
Yes, that's possible. I also have a table saw circle cutting jig that could help here: ua-cam.com/video/6TCFzoRVo1k/v-deo.html
WoodWorkWeb yes sir I have seen it as well. Thank you for taking time to give others a simplified way to get things done.
That is a good jig. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Nice one Colin
Thank You!
Your talent is endless, Thanks from UK
Thank You, mick!
Really clever idea.I am always teasing my "wood turning" buddies about how the rest of us a "real" woodworkers.Now I have more to tease him with .
Thank You! It should be interesting to see how they react.
Thanks, Colin. Just what I need to make a cutting board to match a mezzaluna cutter (for chopping herbs etc).
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Well, Colin, your jig worked perfectly BUT I found I would need a 15" diameter sawblade to match the curve on the cutter - back to the drawing board! I may well make some of those little bowls now I have the jig. Thanks again.
Awesome!! Sure I do it....from Bilbao (Spain)
masterful
Brilliant as usual Colin👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You!
Excellent Video Col Well Done
Bravo bravissimo Fabrizio 🇮🇹
Thank You!
Awesome !!
Thank You!
I always accompany you but today I was surprised by this project ...
My congratulations, I'll try to make a .kkk
Brilliant Sir!😊
Thank You!
- Colin, really nice project. B R A V O ! ! !
Cool idea. Can you make the bowl deeper?
Amazing
That is great. Can you do something similar with a Circular Saw? Maybe a reverse jig?
Does a standard alternate top bevel or flat top grind blade work better for this?
WOW! Thank You for all your ideas and sharing them with us! Do you have a "Jig" for taking that bowl and making it round after cutting the "bowl " out?
Mike M. You could use a bandsaw circle jig for doing that without even taking the blank off the baseplate.
I have a table saw circle jig here that can be easily modified for you're needs: ua-cam.com/video/6TCFzoRVo1k/v-deo.html
@@knecht105 Great, I was thinking the exact same thing. Just angle the blade and you're set. Well Maybe a few passes at several angles.
Very nice!
Thank You!
Nice looking dish.............
I really appreciate your work sir ..
I loved it
Do you fill the screw holes on the bottom? Great idea
Nice and simple, Great Video.
Thank You!
COOL. Good job.
Thank You!
Great. So great
Thank You!
Hi Colin That is one cool jig take care Y.N.W.A. Paul.
what food grade finish did you use?
Cool idea....Great vid!
Thank You, Tom!
Nice work, Colin! However wouldn't it be less damaging for the bottom of the bowl to use double-adhesive tape? Also, how about rounding the outside of the bowl? How would you recommend this? Thanks!
