- In this video, Hollow Form DIY Reversing Bar, I show some tricks to turning the bottom of a hollow form using a shop made reversing bar. This jig is also referred to as a Kirsten Kone after its creator Osker Kirsten.

Interesting problem solving! It seems to me that if you had put the turned wood foot on the bar in the first case, and the threaded hole went all the way through, it would have self-threaded on until it loosened against the bottom of the form ... I believe that you would need a stopped threaded hole, with the chair glide option, to make it work. Cheers, Farmer John, Ontario, Canada
Thanks for sharing. I think you are absolutely right and believe I will make one with a stopped hole to keep ready. I believe the larger the tip the better.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Thanks Mike. One way to save your through-threaded tip is to use CA glue to add a disk to the end of it to convert it to a stopped thread tip. You could then use hot melt glue or Velcro to add on the largest possible disk for a specific form or project. These variable sized disks could be swapped on and off as the form dictated. You would protect their forward surfaces as before with chair glides, drawer liners, carpet underlayment or whatever your choice in the moment to protect the finished surfaces. Nuff said, The horses are looking at me for some food action. Cheers Farmer John, Ontario, Canada
Crap Mike, you are a Genius I enjoy watching you
"We stand on the shoulders of giants." But thanks for the sentiment!
Clever solution to a problem combined with superb craftmanship.
Thanks so much, Jim!
Nice tip and tool, Mike. I especially like that you didn't edit out the parts that didn't go exactly according to plan. Gives hope to those of us who may not plan everything just right!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips:
(1) The adjustable cone chuck -- great tool. It places holding and stabilizing pressure right next to the cut. Effective, elegant, and safe.
(2) The bolt threader - easy and very useful. And a darn sight cheaper than taps, too!
(3) Eileen's Quick & Tacky Glue -- excellent stuff. Strong and fast. I used it for years to fasten cloth-covered liners to the interior of custom boxes and chests. Never failed me.
Thanks!
You bet!
Another great video Mike Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing, this is just what I need to make. May God bless
You are so welcome
Some very good tips. I have to see if I still have some threaded rod. Thanks for sharing.
You bet. 3/4 with 10 or 16 tpi would work. I prefer the courser thread.
Really slick Mike, thanks.
Any time, Gary!
Just what I was searching for Mike... Thanks a bunch... I saw someone else using this system Perhaps Sam Angelo or another turner.. Thanks for the method of making it... Great Job will come in very handy.
Glad it was helpful!
Another handy tool to add to my arsenal!
Hey, Valerie! Are you turning HFs? Not my favorite project but needed a cremation urn.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Still working my way into that ability. I have done undercut rims, and a few small hollow forms. But I do not yet have good tools for doing deep hollowing. But I can hollow pretty evenly, and not blow through the side (only once so far). Just used a bowl saver for the first time last week. So many skills yet to learn or perfect!
Thanks for the tips and tricks
You bet
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I am still learning and I have learned a lot from your videos, I have even made my own carbide tools.
@@nathanpalmer5384 It is always satisfying to make our own tools!
Great info Mike.
Thanks 👍
Thanks Mike, When I get to making my first hollow form, I will have one of these made up. Thanks for the tip and video on how to make one. Stay safe and well to keep the videos coming. Cheers, Tom
Glad to help, Thomas.
Cool, Mike!
That was a great project.
Thanks!
Nice video - as usual. Another option for holding the threaded rod in a chuck is to slather the threads up with JB Weld. When it is dry, sand down to the level of the threads. This provides lots more surface area for the jaws to grip than the threads alone do.
Thanks for the idea!
Very nice demonstration Mike. That's another neat tool / fixture to put into my tool cabinet. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thanks, you too, Glen!
Thank you, Mike. This was a very informative and helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Really cool, Mike, THANKS!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Good tool thanks I was wondering if that stuff called dip it that they use on tool handles would work on the cones
I doubt it. I used some on an aluminum handle and it did not hold up. But worth a try.
I always love your videos, it seems that I learn something at every video. Thanks for sharing!
So nice of you, Billy!
Nuts Mike, nuts. Bolts have male threads, nuts have female threads. Best regards.
I find the older I get, the more the wrong words slip out - even when I know the difference.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Yeah, forget about it. When I left school my first job was in a mechanical store auditing nuts, bolts and mechanical spares for an earth moving company, (1974) I learned the difference then. Keep up the good work. Best regards.
With the collet chuck, it looks like an extra long threaded rod could be used for various size hollow forms, with any excess length on the rod just extending through the back of the headstock? Makes me want a collet chuck. Thanks for the videos, Mike!
I find a collet chuck very handy for lots of specialized chucking needs. Excess can extend back upt to the limitations due to the size of the spindle Morse Taper.
Put a bit of paste wax on the threaded cone so it goes on easier and doesn't squeal.
Great idea!
And we say... Bobs your uncle, Charlies your aunt. 😁😁
😂👊
Don't need a nut behind the cone when there is already a nut holding the tool handle.😉
You would think, but I prove in that case it takes two! Safe turning, my friend.
your not worried about the threads tearing up your jaws on the headstock? is there a method around that?
I do not find holding a threaded rod on a collet chuck a problem.
