I'd love the stuff if still going. Kind offer either way, thanks. Simon

Leave at friends, train down, drive back. Sorted!

Essentially a bin lid with 2 x 4" sockets moulded in, an in and an out. Put it in line (mounted onto a normal metal / plastic waste bin) and all the shavings and big stuff stays in the bin and only the fine stuff goes into extractor bag. Just makes it easier to empty plus don't go through as...

So, 'd rules is, no pics = it didn't happen!!

Depending where you are in Somerset you might like to look up / Google the max Carey woodturning trust in portishead. It is an off shoot of Avon and Bristol woodturners and offers very competitive priced classes in a relaxed atmosphere. However, I think it is mid week only so not sure if that...

Good clarification, thanks. (Ps without teaching you to suck egg, but trailing means pointing slightly downhill from handle to tip so if you do get a mini catch, the tool will simple rotate out of the cut where as if it were flat, or dangerously even up hill, any catch may cause the tool to be...

I was referring to the kelton hollowing tools which are scraping tools by design. (Most, I think all tools, either cut or scrape to my simple mind!). I wasn't thinking of the coring tools for this application as they are another thread in themselves and while the fixed path coring tools like...

No, I think we are agreeing, I wasn't really thinking and in my mind had line across top of two flute edges then reaching 1-2 o'clock which is pretty much the same as line normal to base of the flute pointing at 10 oclock so we're agreeing think and as you say, cut from centre out to edge.

For shallow hollowing (tea lights etc) I tend to just use a spindle gouge (cutting from centre out on arc with flute at 1 - 2 o'clock ish) and finish corner by scraping with point of skew or similar. Deeper stuff like pen pots etc, I go to the hollowing tools. Start by drilling centre out with...

Don't do it at all, (does that make me a bad person!)

Nice project. Did you use any s/g to hold the bark rim in place of did nature play ball? If the latter, should it stay now you've finished working the piece? S

Love the wooden eqpt box to mount it all complete with pen holder. Great job!

Can't believe they fit plastic gears on a machine tool, esp for something as frequently used at a p/t adjustment.

How long does it take to drop the habit of 'blowing' dust away only to realise you have the mask on?!?
