Hollow form tools

[mark sanger]

there's a video of one being used here

I have seen a video of Rolly Munro doing a complete bowl with one, very versatile if you can afford it.

Oh that'll be good to watch - thanks Pete.

If I had looked left of the screen I would have seen you come from Northumberland. It has been a long day

LW I'm sure someone at your club will have the Roly. Try before you buy if you can. Whatever you chose.

If I talk nicely to Duncan, he'll let me have a go with his, I'm sure.

George - thanks. Received and understood :wink:

Yep, no problem. I also have the Sorby straight and curved hollowers that you can try along with some home made ones that I showed you last time I came round.
I'll mail you

Had a thought last night - given the size of your lathe I doubt that you'll be turning anything that needs the capacity of the large Munro tool. Unless, of course, you're planning on getting a larger machine in the future.

Completely agree Duncan. I need something much more modest. What's wrong with the Henry Taylor Stott (Axminster have it)? Looks like all I'll ever need.

A belated thanks to Duncan for letting me have a go with his hollowers. I've bought the Sorby curved one and used it for the first time today. Seems to do the job well enough, and not too expensive.
