>Lynn's review is indeed excellent. Just a personal observation here. I have been using the Jamieson system for about a year and a half and have been totally satisified with it. It is safe, easy and accurate. The only problems I have had with hollow forms using Lyle's sytem have been "operator" induced.

>I second the vote(?) for the Lyle Jamieson/captured boring bar for hollowing. I have it and love it. It keeps you from a serious injury while learning hollow forms. Further, if you want to you "know" how it works, use the system for the first few times to turn the inside of a bowl. It's a good idea -- you can see how the whole thing works.

>Hi Ron,

as Jonathan says, reading Lyn's article will give you a good idea of what is available on the market.

for hollow forms with small openings, Kelton scrapers give excellent results. for bigger HF, I would recommend Rolly Munro's tool, which is really good, works for (almost) all kind of shapes, and is not difficult to use.

hth,

Pascal
