Nice work. Thanks for the video. I like the sawzaw blade usage. i once thought that a nice parting tool could be made by taking an old carbide table saw blade, and cutting out a parting tool shape from it. The blade would be cut out so that the very tip would include one of the carbide teeth of the blade. Have yet to do it, but i think it would work well. Nice bowl!

@JFPSolar. Thanks for your comment. I had tried to heat temper a piece of bar stock, but that didn't work. I think the metallurgy wasn't right, but I never found time to properly investigate. I like your idea about the carbide saw blade. Anything hardened like that will work. I want to just put a wooden handle on my sawsall blade - time will tell!

@@jamesrvs I recall that saw blade steel is very strong and certainly keeps an edge better than mild steel. However, I decided to make a parting tool that uses a carbide tooth. It cuts really well, and it's carbide so I'm sure it will last quite a while. Just uploaded a quick (pathetic) video on it. Best of luck with yours!

Bold and brilliant and a little scary all at the same time! I really like that you show when you make a little error -- I sometimes think blunder recovery is my best skill! Great job.

@mikerafferty1437 Thanks Mike. I believe revealing errors is fundamental to learning. Covering them up when we all make them is just subterfuge. My struggle remains with being more entertaining. Thanks for the comment.
