flat board bowl turning
I remember seeing a tool that would create a number of rings that would stack to create a bowl. Does any one remember the name of the tool or the company that made the tool?

(clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have seen the tool demo'd at a show or two, but, I don't remember the name. I have done this without the tool, and I consider the tool unnecessary unless you are going to do production of this type of bowl structure. I have done several bowls by making the rings with a scroll saw. One reason I never carried the practice further is that you are limited in the shape of bowl you can make--flat bottom and straight sloping sides. Since the creative part of bowl turning is so closely involved with the SHAPE, this seems to me like a blind alley. If you are planning to sell a large number of salad bowls, all alike, and you have a lot of hardwood scrap boards available, it would make sense. BTW, I recall now that our high school shop teacher told me he did this with a parting tool, held at the appropriate angle. He was not making bowls--he was making Xmas tree bases to be used on the tables at a holiday banquet. |
I remember seeing a tool that would create a number of rings that would =
stack to create a bowl. Does any one remember the name of the tool It (or at least one tool that did this) is called the Ringmaster. Been several years since I have seen an ad for one and I don't know who the suplier is/was. Recall an article in the early years of the AAW journal on how to make stacked rings on the lathe: author was Andy Barnum. Kip Powers Rogers, AR |
The Ringmaster Tool company is still in business. Here is a link to their

The tool that you are talking about is a 'Marrison System ' sold in
the UK by Craft Supplies UK. It is a grooved jig used with a parting tool and will enable you to cut rings from a flat board at a 62 1/2 degree angle and will produce rings up to 12" dia. When stacked and glued the rings will form the shape of your bowl for final turning.They claim that using this system, you will reduce timber wastage from 80 to less than 5 per cent. Jack. |
Wow! Pricy little bugger. It looks like a drill press vice mounted to
the ways would provide the same functionality at a vastly lower cost. BTW, I've been doing this freehand using 8/4" exotics. You have to be careful, but it's not all that hard. |
Interesting. Does anyone know if these folks are still in business? Looks like
the website hasn't been updated since '03. BTW I called the 800 number and got a recording for a Cordinell Company. I'll have to call during business hours EST to find out. |

Its good for someone who doesn't know how to turn (at all), but a waste for someone who does. Peter Teubel Milford, MA http://www.revolutionary-turners.com |
Thank you all! The Ringmaster is the device I remembered. As an FYI, it is
sold in the U.S.A. at http://woodenpost.com/products/ring_master.htm -- LARRY CHAPMAN "Kip055" wrote in message ...

I just sent for their free video to see how the thing works. Just got
it in the mail today. Only took about 2 or 3 days so they must be in business. Ted (GALBAN) wrote in message ... Interesting. Does anyone know if these folks are still in business?

You might be refering to the Ring Master.
Here's a link to the company's site. http://www.ringmastertool.com/ If you are really interested, order the VHS video from them, approx. 8 min. It's free and they ship fast. I received mine in about a week. I hope this helps. Roy |
You are probably referring to the Ringmaster. www.ringmastertool.com
