Woodturning - Hollow Form, DIY Hollowing System

This is a piece of Sycamore from the firewood pile. In this video I show how I made this hollow form using my DIY hollowing system. Using a simple laser guide to control wall thickness.

You have more cool gadgets than Batman because you seem to have the engineering capacity of Wayne Enterprises at your disposal. Love your work.

[@MichaelMassimino]

Brilliant! I'm building one over the winter. I'm curious, what are the dimensions of the tool handle?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Hi Micheal, sorry for the slow response. Handle dimensions are 40 x 55 x 760mm.

Lovely job on the hollow form, I like you, make a lot of my own tools and accessories and I find it gives a boost to your self satisfaction knowing what you've made with what you've made turns out well.👍👍👍

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you. Yes I just like making things, it is very satisfying.

[@carolsnyder9134]

You are truly an artist. Remarkable and exquisite as usual.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you very much Carol, it's very kind of you to say so! 😊

[@RayShaw007]

Not only a nice job but well done on creating your own hollowing jig. Just one question - does a stabiliser system like your jig really make that much of a difference? I ask because deep hollowing causes me some anxiety and I also find it quite knackering. Of course the anxiety and the fatigue could well be related!!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks Ray. It sounds like you need one! The captive bar system takes away the stress of hollowing, particularly on larger pieces than this! 😊

Thanks for watching Richard. Not sure how I would do that but I will try.🤔😊

[@josephwise485]

You make everything look so easy. I really like your hollower. What did you spray on the forstner bit when you were drilling? Thanks.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks Joseph, that would have been silicone lubricant spray. 😊

[@SilverBack.]

Martin it looks the BIZ 👍👍👍👍👍👍Have you by chance got any dimension's or diagrams of the deep hollower ????

[@MartinWoodhead]

No Douglas I used what I had and made it up as I went on, but I did make a video - ruclips.net/video/N84bA-DhCdE/видео.html
Also there are some upgrades I made on this video -

If you have any specific questions after watching these videos, I am happy to answer them.

[@harveyboulanger2896]

What size round stock did you use for your tool holder?

[@MartinWoodhead]

18mm

[@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n]

As a none wood turner I am intrigue to know why you needed such a long handle. So long you built a support❓

[@MartinWoodhead]

It would be very difficult for me to explain but basically there is a large overhang at the cutting end which creates a lot of torque so you need a long lever to counter that force. Thanks for watching.
