Matt, I watched that video over and over. I tried every bowl I had in my house and a couple I picked up from the thrift store. I’ve been really impressed with your instructions (honestly, this one too, I think this is more of a “me” problem), this time I just couldn’t get it right. I’m going to make some smaller forms and play around on some scraps and see what I come up with. If I find something that works for me I will post it up here.
Robert, Thanks for the words of encouragement! I make a lot of my own gear and it seems like the first draft of every big project has *something* that I get stuck on. It’s always the same.. keep plugging away and eventually it works.
