Learning Hollow Form Turning

[LL Woodworks]

To all the hollow form turners, your work is amazing!

I want to move into hollow form turning. I'll be starting with my pen turning equipment, a jet mini lathe, so things won't be very big for a while. Question - what are the two or three most needed and important tools needed for hollow form and recommendation of where to obtain them?

Thanks for the advise

Well for me it's a straight hollowing tool a curved hollowing tool and a shear scraper.

I've done HF's for years on a Jet 1014...some competition winners too. A Monster hollowing rig is the industry standard, hard to beat the expandability and the ability to custom change fittings for your particular application. Don't get paid by them...just a really satisfied customer.
