I glued up this mass of corian samples, nearly 100 of them into this mini skyscraper looking thing. I'm making it into a vase, don't do much in the way of big turnings. Not sure the overall dimensions but the inside of the vase is 6.25 deep and about 3" wide. I built it like an octagon on the inside and the outside, recycling the corners into pens. I'm having a difficult time hollowing it out even though it's mostly hollow to start. I left the neck at the bottom extra thick to help with the abusive chattering I'm throwing at this monster attached with just a face plate and I have no steady rest. I only have 5 standard chisels that you'd get in a set <big ones though> and also have a bowl scraper chisel. Nothing is long enough to get to the bottom, and when I go deep it's tough to hold on and fear lingers that I'll break something. The rest sure can't go inside. Down near the bottom is the hardest part where I can't get much action to happen even when I do stretch to the point of wood being one the rest. I don't know what I can do other than set it aside to continue in the future with some better tool, whatever that would be.
