I love making bowls in my spare time and one of the problems I encounter is removing the spigot or recess left on the base of my bowl when it has been hollowed out.
I know there are a few devices available for the scroll chuck that can hold a bowl to help finish it off but I don't own one of these.
What if you have a bowl that has a convex shape on the outside?
Previously I have finished my bowls using a turned piece of wood that matched the inside bowl diameter. This way it could be jammed on but with the shape I have now it would mean only the top rim would have any contact, I can't see it doing anything but flying off.
Any ideas short of opening my wallet to buy one of those fangled things that hold bowls?
Thanks for a great Ubb board too, glad I found it.
cheers
