deep hollowing tools

[robo hippy]

John,
My computer skills are really limited. Do a web search on Monster Wood Tools, and maybe the elbow tool. That should get you some links. Basically they are 3 linked arms, and the joints are fancy and stout bearings that allow for a lot of movement. If you have metal skills, they don't really appear to be too difficult to make. Articulated arms like these have been around for a long time, just not applied to the woodturning world.

monster tools link here http://www.monster-wood-tool.com/wst_page6.html

they look okay but you have to order from the usa - i'd rather buy something that is available here (and preferably made in gb too)

what do people think about the BCT tools ? http://www.toolpost.co.uk/pages/Turning ... atool.html

This is a link from another site which shows about every variation of hollowing system out there. If I had metal skills, I could do it myself, but I can only grind it.
