I bought an elbow tool some time back including a swan neck attachment as well as a straight bar. This is made by a fellow in our local woodturners club.
I am anxious to try making a hollow form and was wondeirng about the sequence.
Please correct me where I'm wrong.
1. Are hollow forms cross grain like bowls or long grain like logs?
2. Turn between centers and turn tenon on tailstock end (Do you form the outside at this point or wait until you reverse ends into a chuck as in making a bowl?)
3. Turn OD form after chucking.
4. Drill hole in ID.
5. Start hollowing.
6. Finish OD and remove tenon.
All comments are appreciated.
