That was the coolest bandsaw project I've ever seen. And it came out great. Love that you didn't let the setbacks prevent you from finishing your experimentation. Terrific job.
Thank you and that's great to hear! The bandsaw, big or small, is one of my favourite machines. There's so much you can do and RUclips is a great source for small project ideas (bandsaw boxes, scoops, etc.).
Thanks again! I think my inspiration came from another lesser-known RUclips video. If I did this again, I might make the bowl wider and more shallow. Glad you like it. :-)
Olly: very interesting project - very good looking bowl (w/ or w/o bananas). Note to self: I need a bigger band saw! Thank you for sharing ... ---MarkS
Really interesting project to watch Thanks for taking the time to video and upload....I'd love to see what tricks you got up your sleeve for lathe work. Dovetails perhaps! :-) Best wishes .Rod.
Nice - but scary.... :D Take more care on your bandsaw, especially when switching it on. Switch it off when adjusting your parts - I speak out of experience! But nice bowl!
Hi Sean, thank you and I understand what you're saying. This project was born of part-inspiration, part-frustration! The wall shelf that I 'recycled' had been cluttering my workshop for a number of months and, being in a very small space, I was tired of having it around. I wasn't keen on resawing it or anything as I'd used biscuit joints initially. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
My God... I couldnt watch the whole video purely because the way you were using your Bandsaw.. it was so unsafe, you could have killed yourself. Please take some advice on how to use your power tools URGENTLY before you seriously injure yourself. Honestly I have never seen such a dangerous use of power tools in my life. I hope you dont think im being nasty, because I promise Im not.... just really concerned that you will hurt yourself. ANYONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE
I've been through college, I've worked in several different environments and I've always been confident in the way in which I've used tools and machinery. If I'm not, I won't do it. However unsafe you may feel my methods were, I can promise you that I've seen much worse elsewhere.

wow that turned out really nice! Cool video! Maybe I'll try that one day when I have built a bigger band saw...
That's beautiful!
I love the jig you used to turn the wood.
Paul Angeli Thank you and thanks for watching, Paul. :-)
Nice Video. Just ordered my bandsaw today.
Very excited to start some projects!!!

First band saw bowl I have seen. Well done!

Thanks, Mark, I'm glad you liked it.
Very nice bowl, subscribed!
Thank you very much! :-)
Thanks, Cosmas! I look forward to seeing you build that bandsaw! ;-)
Very nice Olly, Very nice.
Nice job Olly. I just have a small band saw. Just 3.5" cut.
Thanks, Dougie. It was more a case of trial and effort. I cut the original lime bowl at 10º but then decided to cut the oak one at 15º.
Very nice job, I like it a lot
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it!
Thank you. It was inspired by another video I saw of a guy making one from a log... The only thing I didn't have was a log! :-)

Interesting. I've heard of bandsaw boxes, but not bowls. Nice job on yours.
Sweet looking bowl. Good job!
Joshua Luther Thanks, Josh! For your comment, for watching and also for sharing on Twitter. :-)
nicely done, thanks for showimg the "oops" as well
Clark Douglas
Thank you, Douglas. :-)

Hehehe, dovetails on the lathe - now, that sounds like a challenge!! :-D Thanks, Rod.
Another great project. Thanks
Good job Olly. If I tried that on my bandsaw I think the blade would drift all over the place! Regards Barry
Thank you, Jim. I reckon you could achieve something similar by cutting shallow bowls and gluing them on top of one another?
Very nice! Clever method.
Nice looking bowl Olly - we'll make a turner of you yet mate ;)
Take care
Mike
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Thanks, Barry!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it! :-)
Thank you, Liam. Ah, yes, I remember seeing that a while back. My other thought was some kind of banana-shaped bowl!
Nice - but scary.... :D Take more care on your bandsaw, especially when switching it on. Switch it off when adjusting your parts - I speak out of experience! But nice bowl!
Thank you, that is sound advice. Complacency can be a major cause of accidents our power tools and machinery.
Totally agree with you.. I was shocked
Hi, what band saw are you using?
Hi, it's a Startrite 401e with 16in capacity. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much! :-)
Nice bandsaw. What kind is it?
truebluekit Thanks, it's a Startrite 401e, if that helps.
another nice project olly,thats my downfall i dont have a great mathamatical mind to work out all those angles etc,,,dougie....
Thank you. :-)
Great looking bowl but I just couldn't live with myself wasting all that original timber stock.

+Olly Parry-Jones Well good to see that you made use of timber and made into something beautiful.
Hahaha, thanks Mike! ;-)
all this work... for a flower pot.
