   When marking the arched top of the bowl, instead of relying on various compasses with different capacities, have you ever considered a simpler solution of a pencil on a piece of string? I understand extra care would be needed to ensure a constant radius when switching from end to end but that doesn't seem too hard to accomplish with a simple mark on the string and you could have more versatility with fewer tools. Or, maybe there's something I haven't considered that would make this a bad idea? I am really enjoying the videos so far.

   Jdcook72: You're right, the string method works fine for marking the arched top, no problem at all. Quick adjustments with a compass requires less fiddling around, but that's the only real advantage. And you could put string and a little nail in your pocket! Good idea.
