Bowl Question

[oldhudson]

I came across a scroll saw pattern to make a bowl. I've never made one before so it seemed like a challenge. You will see in the picture that the segments do NOT line up. Each ring is larger than it should be leaving a 'shoulder'. Is that because I set the angle of the cut wrong? or something else? Thanks for reading.

Kerf material you took off when cutting.

Your angle is off just a little. For calculating the angle there is a web site just for this  https://www.scrollmania.com/AngleCalc.html

I think you always round up.  

If the bottom is not glued on yet the you should be able to glue the rings and fix with a spindle sander.

I really like the wood choice.

The angle is not set correctly.

Lots of scroll saw bowel videos here.

Are you sure you aren’t supposed to glue it and sand it smooth. Like a Carole Rothman design?

[preprius]

I agree if bottom is not glued, and the rings are glued,  then sand the inside and outside.  

Then glue the bottom on, and sand again.

I just did this error on the canarywood hat. I was off just a little. Because I forgot to measure the thickness of the board after the thickness planer.  I just remembered the board being 3/4".

Sand is a bad word meaning lots of work, SHAPING is a better word as per Carole

Thanks. No, I think it was in one of the SSWC magazines. I went looking and found it listed on Pinterest. Here is a screen shot. If you have that magazine, PM me and I'll try to scan it and send it.
