[Woodworkers] Bowl Turning

[John McCaskill via Woodworkers]

Depends. That's one way. Before I get into too much detail, do you have a chuck you're planning to use? 

You don't have to have one, but the instructions are different.

Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.

With that done, I would turn the base to match the jaws of the chuck. At that point you can remove the faceplate, mount the bowl to the chuck, and finish the piece.

I recently was asked to turn a bunch of bowls for our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity and I am having trouble with getting the bottoms flat so the will set flat.Do we have any turners on the list that can give me some ideas of what I need to do?  I am starting with blanks that have either been band sawn or chain sawn.  I have watched a couple of youtube videos and still can't figure it out what I'm doing wrong.
