Hi Stemo
When I have to remove a glue block, I usually saw it off with a Japanese
pull saw. I picked up the saw at Lowes for abouth $18. It has a fairly
long blade and coarse teeth on one side and fine on the other. Leave just
a little of the glue block and then smooth it up with a block plane and
sand.

I have turned my first bowl and would appreciate advice on how to remove
it from the wooden block it's glued to. I mounted a wood block on my
face plate, and using tightbond glue, attached my blank to it with a
brown paper bag between the block and the blank. Being it's my first
bowl, I dont want to mess it up now, especially because it came out
quite well. Will a good tug free it or should I use my parting tool to
seperate it?? If I do use the parting tool should I remove the
slightest amount of the bowl bottom, or leave the slightest amount of
the block on the bowl and some how sand the block off???? Your advice
is greatly appreciated.
