Ay-up, I'm reasonably new to turning and I've got to the point where i Wouldn't mind trying my hand at a bit of hollowing. Just small pots etc to start with. What are peoples opinions on the various hollowing tools around?

Stuart,
I have a small set of hollowing tools , 1/2" diameter and 12" long, one hook tool and one straight tool. $40 for the hook, $30 for the straight. The big difference in these tools is that they are designed and *used* by a woodturner-me!
I would be glad to send you a brochure.

Sorry, I meant for this to be a private post, but will be glad to send info to those who asked. Thanks.

John, glad you did post to the group. Please send me a brochure. I'm in the directory. Thanks for all you do. Arch
Fortiter,
Stuart: I manufacture a reasonably priced laser guided tool for hollowing. The advantages of the laser are the ability to know where you are cutting without stopping every couple of minutes to measure. Additionally since the tool is constrained by the holder wrist and arm strain are eliminated as is the back strain associated with bending down to see inside the work as you are hollowing. if you're interested you can check it out at:
That Trent Bosch puts on a good demonstration and you get a chance that demo is worth going out of the way to see.
