    First try at this!

    I know this looks pitiful, but I guess you have to start somewhere. It's not hollowed, just drilled with a forstner bit. Just working on shape right now. Hope to learn to hollow soon since I now have a Hollowmaster. Just don't know how to use it yet. Tried it but it didn't seem to want to cut.

    Forstner bits are the pinnacle of woodworking technology: never be embarassed by using them.

    I know the exalted gurus say the bowl gouge or whatever will remove all of that wood faster, but that is them, and this is us.

    Good looking pot.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Nice looking thing-that makes-me-think-of-the-Jetsons!

    I've never had much luck with forstner bits on the lathe - perhaps because all lathe-based drilling I've ever done was into end grain. And for that a good old twist bit rocks.

    Chris looks great to me. Those hollowmaster take some getting used to. They gotta be sharp and not with a grinder. I am waiting for a new cutter and two diamond hones.

    What a cool little thing Chris!

    Yep...That hollowmaster has a sweet spot...It's right in between "not cutting at all" and "WHAM!!!"

    You just gotta find it.
