Can anyone suggest a good video on making hollow forms?:confused:

Harvey, YouTube is full of turning videos - some clips of pro's, and full videos of amateurs. Show us what you make!

Thanks Mike,

I'll be posting some pictures (but not of hollow forms) in the very near future. I have mostly lurked and learned from a great bunch of Creekers and hopefully can pay it forward! Stay tuned!

I have been to many hard knock schools in my day and just don't want to attend class that way anymore. That's why I was asking about a video. I've taken private lessons with Bill Grumbine and I couldn't believe how my turning improved.

Appreciate your advise!

Hi Harvey,

One of the first I bought was the John Jordan video "Hollow Turning"

I still think it is one of the best ever produced. I learned a lot from it. I also like the David Ellsworth video on hollow turning, either one will get you on the road to blind turning.

I have had mine so long that the are both VHS. I hear there is this new format called dvd or something. :)

Best wishes,

Dave

I strongly suggest John Jordan's video(s). John is one of the best at making beautiful hollow forms. His approach is simple and does not require a ton of tools.

John,s web site is: www.johnjordanwoodturning.com (http://www.johnjordanwoodturning.com)

Hi Don,

I took Dave's advise and ordered the John Jordan video yesterday.

I also took your advise and bought some Balistol to use on the ways of my lathe. Love the stuff!! You had mentioned it here a few weeks ago.

Thank you, Don!:D

I've only seen two, Lyle Jamiseon's and Mike Mahoney's. Lyle uses his own captured rig while Mike is a free-hander. Both are very good and easy to recommend.

Thanks, Steve!

I'll look them both up. I have ordered the John Jordan video and will report on it when I've seen it.
