Hollowing Jig

[Dusty Sawyer]

I noticed a hollowing jig plan in the downloads and was wondering if anyone had made it or has bought one? I've been wanting to know if there is an advantage over the Sorby gooseneck hollowing tool, for example.

I believe that plan was submitted by Handturnedbowls, and he made it himself. I am not sure of the advantages of his design over the Sorby, but I know that it is a heavy duty set up and designed for blind hollowing, hence the laser positioning index. Check out his album to see some examples of the types of turnings he creates 8-O 8-O some incredible work IMHO.

Matt and I had the opportunity to see Handturnedbowls work close up when it was on display here at the museum in Fayetteville... astounding8-O
