Hi folks,
Just turned and finished the top half of a bowl, and went to reverse it onto my bowl jaws only to discover while the bowl has respectable clearance over the bed of the lathe, the jaws project far enough past the bowl that it can't turn.
Are there good alternative techniques for cleaning up the bottom of a bowl? The finish on the top half came up pretty nicely, so I am not really keen to try gluing it up if I can avoid it.
I pretty much just need to get rid of a waste block glued to the bottom, finalise the shape, and then sand and finish.
Cheers,
Danny
