How To Turn Perfect Hollow Sphere - No Jig

[@stuartdavey]

The "stretch" in the middle was the key to what I have been missing in hollowing. Brilliant! Thanks.

Somewhat of an intermission.

Alan The way you set up the spigots on each end, then turned the inside was brilliant. Great technique I will certainly try. Sam

[@AsWoodTurns]

It is a great technique that avoids me having to buy a jig.

@@AsWoodTurns I love there are so many ways to turn a sphere. And this is one I had not seen. Sam

Go for it. It is a great skill to master sooner rather than later.

Not for a beginner. 8-| Nice

[@AsWoodTurns]

I agree for the hollow sphere.
However, smaller solid spheres should be on every beginners list. A sphere is a basic skill to be mastered.
