I think I knew I was getting too thin on the bottom. It was going so well until I cut the tenon off. What are some good bowl depth gauges you use? Shop made is just fine.

You could consider some of the alternative gauges that Doc Green has documented on his website in the Gauges section of his Articles webpage.

I would love to say that I have never had the inside diameter exceed the outside diameter, but that wouldn't be accurate.

Good luck!

Thanks. I’ll check it out. This was the first time it happened. I’m sure it won’t be the last
