I do believe a trial should have been done before you consider it an easy project. Or were you just quoting the magazine?
The previous method I was referring to was the method of routing the shaped dish I submitted in the drawing. I must confess that I did not make the dish as I considered it was not the safest way go about it. In fact there was even a problem re the dimensions before I could get started to produce the drawings. Woodsmith usually produce wonderful drawings for the majorty of their projects.
I am not really in favour of the top bearing cutter for this type of projects as I prefer the template guide with the various cutters as I consider this to be a safer method.
I am still hopeful that some members of this forum will take up the challenge and produce projects with the use of the guides and submit their results for all to see.

OK, Tom, I found something that you can look at... a short video that actually shows what I was trying to describe.
You can now watch someone do it and see how simple it is. http://www.woodsmith.com/issues/170/.../routed-bowls/
The following is the way they described the article:
"You can make great-looking wood bowls without turning or carving.
A template and simple router accessories make it easy."
Since Woodsmith is one of my favorite magazines, I, among others I'm sure, will vouch for them... when they "make it easy", they really mean it.
After reading and studying the arcticle, I too, felt that would be
easy to do.
I think if one wanted to, they could use a Guide on the template instead of using a Bearing fitted cutter... if they wanted to.
