    Great imagination here Joe! Thanks for posting. I have several HF's where I have cut through the sides. I bet I could try this "save" on them. The wall thickness might not be quite as even though.

    Very imaginative and good piece to use for showing folks what tools are used to accomplish the hollowing.
    I like this Joe! Amazing sometimes the simple but unique creations folks come up with...this one is cool!
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Joe, I hate to be the one to tell you, but your sides fell off... Maybe with a little CA glue you can stick them back on. ;^} Just kidding - pretty neat idea and execution!

    Interesting piece Joe. Reminds me of one of them new fangled Dyson fans. A grouping of these along side of your others would look pretty neat. How about some brass posts articulating the fall off pieces a bit?

  10. Wow Joe! I think you've made all of us rethink "hollow" forms just a little bit. Great idea and execution...although it looks a little scary to turn!

    Joe that is definitely thinking outside the box... or is it cutting the outside of the box... or....

    In any case WOW.

    You want a comment? TOO cool! Now, tell me that you turned an enitre bowl and cut the sides off with the band saw, leaving you with two egg shaped bowls... The egg shaped bowls would be a head scratcher form anyone trying to figure out how you did it...
