Thanks for the compliments! It isn't particularly difficult, just takes some time and planning. To make routed bowls you need a bowl bit and collet extension. You cut out a template from 1/2" mdf and tape it with carpet tape to the blank, then you use a forstner bit in the drill press to remove most of the wood in the cavity. Next you use the router bit to finish the work on the cavity. Next you cut out the outside shape on the band saw, and then use a pattern bit in a router table to cut the wood flush with the outside of the template. A roundover bit inside and out on the router table takes care of the sharp edges. All that's left is a lot of sanding and your favorite finish. These were mostly poplar except for the two redish ones which are cherry. All are 2" thick.

Since GB set the precedent, I thought I'd post a pic of some of the gifts I shipped out. They aren't made with the scrollsaw, but the scrollsaw was used in making the templates.

The bit is a step bit, so a normal sharpener for twist bits won't do it. They stay sharp a long time though and then can either be replaced or sharpened at the shop or by a professional. i happen to be building a bookcase for my granddaughter right now, and used my k3 tonight assembling trim to surround the bottom and elevate the bottom shelf. I will use it on other parts as well, although I still use other joinery such as biscuits, mortise and tenon, and dado's as well.

Maybe to late for this advice, but if you have a chance get the K3 rather than the K4. The K4 is the newer edition, but most seem to prefer the K3. See the forums on the Kreg website and you will understand. The adapter reffered to replaces the normal drilling guide block with one designed for 1/2 inch wood.

What part of Ky are you in? I lived there years ago and bought hardwoods from Louisville Lumber & Millwork.
There are probably other sources as well.

I think what you sent was better than what you received, but I am truly glad you like it! I sent you an email yesterday about the sleigh and centerpiece. Let me know if the email doesn't arrive. You do beautiful work Michelle! Thank you so much.

What do you mean holding up! I got mine on friday, opened it when I got it, and mailed one out today. That is my version of holding up. Put off things you don't enjoy, dive into the things you do enjoy.

I like rapid resizer to. It really helps adjusting the pattern sizes and printing them out for transfer to the wood. Have you downloaded the free trial? that will let you know if you like it or not.
