Hollowing tool

[darrenjttu]

I need a hollowing tool for some end grain work that I do. I make lots of bowls and vases and need one that isnt too terrible expensive. I just dont know which one to get. Any suggestions?

Check out the Don Pencil tools.

Look for his 'blems', they are half-price. I bought the large set and am hanged if I can find anything wrong with it.
Don't even ask the price of the Robust lathe. [:0]

These are not cheap but worth checking anyhow.

Make one yourself. A Oland tool can be made for less than $20.00. Let me know if you want to see what it takes to make one....James

Let me be more specific. I have a Jet mini lathe so I dont think any monster tools will work for me. I was wanting to stay under the $100 mark too. Thanks for all the help.

James-how do you make one?

Take a look at this. Easy to make and works great.
