always fancied a pair of these so last weekend went on a training course and here's the results. As yet untested on the pole lathe but I might try them out ( tentatively ) on my power lathe.
should be fun!
Never heard of a hook tool... did you harden these at all?
I've never seen then used like that but it could be interesting . Once they have handles I'll have a go and report back. I've used point tools for captive rings and curved scrapers but only seen hook tools used for fast , efficient hollowing into end grain ( and side grain ) on goblets , bowls etc. On a pole lathe they work fine.Hook tools like these are used for making captive ring items like baby rattle, wine glass stems, etc
