When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

Bonjour Marq
We enjoy having all the input possible on this site. There is lots of fretwork that has its origins in France, so you are from the right place to inspire us. We would like to see pics of your work. One of the clocks we completed was the Amiens, but it is not a quick project. We enjoy the variety of works displayed here, there is a lot more than fretwork and clocks.
Au revoir
Norman and Rose

I suspect that someone talented with spiral blades (like Charles Dearing) would have an easier time accessing the hard to reach areas.

Reply to Enhancement of purchased wood bowlby garryatpaThanks Carole. Did you have any tricks/tips that you used in supporting the bowl while sawing. The trouble is that the bowl is always moving and therefore the angle is changing continuously. I think just taking my time and going slowly is necessary. I am sure that as I continue sawing will get easier....Yesterday, 09:20 PM

Reply to Enhancement of purchased wood bowlby handibunnyLooking good so far. The fact that the sides are so thick adds a level of difficulty. All of Roehl’s bowls were cut with 1/4” thick sides to begin with, which means that once sanded, they would be about 1/8” thick.
However, the fact that you’re using a ready-made bowl ensures that...Yesterday, 06:31 PM -
Reply to Minor Question About Bowlsby RoyzMGPete and Carole - Thanks for the tips. I'll give them a try. I've made the bowl press and it works great. I've been using Weldbond but I may try the Franklin product. It is really critical to get any squeeze thru as quickly as possible. It's a bear to try to cleanup afterwards....Yesterday, 06:11 PM
