Before hollowing the bottom of a bowl I estimate the thickness before
putting it on the Cole jaws. Later I forget how much I have to work
with. I made a jig to measure the inside depth before reversing the
bowl, then check the bottom thickness as I hollow it.


You hollow bowls on Cole jaws? Wow, I'd like to see /your/ lathe...

Well, I don't like to leave the bottom flat. I turn it flat, then scoop
out the center part, leaving a quarter inch rim as a foot.
