Hi
I am considering my first hollowing tool. I need one for hollowing out vases etc. Any suggestions for a good basic hollowing tool? Should be able to reach a 6 or 7 inch depth!

Hi Keith
Go to Darrells web site and make that oland tool, also the Termite tool from Oneway is a good tool to use for cutting end grain wood and cleaning up the bottom, Lee Valley sells them also, or get just the Termite bid and make your own handle, I find the original one a bit thin, so You could make it a little heavier.

I just finished making a Feltmate/Oland tool (my trademark!). Got maybe $5 or $8 in the whole deal. Works great! AND you can make them any size you need (within reason of course).
the one I made is using a 1/4" HSS tool-bit from Enco (currently on sale for less than a dollar I believe). Ground a 45deg relief angle, then kinda pointed/rounded it off. Put it into the end of a piece of
5/8" CRS from the local hardware store. You can stop there or "get fancy" by adding a wooden -handle.It is really pretty amazing
