A few hollow forms I've been working on.

[Ed Morgano]

I got these forms roughed out for a fair I did on Sat. At the fair I turned the finials and several other things. I didn't what to make too many shavings so I tried to complete as much as possible before I got there and still have something interesting to demo. C&C Always welcome.

Beautiful set of small hollow forms. I love them all!

[Lee Alkureishi]

Fantastic Ed - I'm jealous!

[John Kent]

Great job on all of them. I am really wanting to wrap my mitts around that teal
colored one.

[Rick Markham]

Wow Ed!!! Those are all fantastic, but I think the lil one really steals the show. That finial is truly amazing on it!!! Fantastic design, this is neat to see a bunch together, you can see a mini evolution of your forms and your finials. The forms are all wonderful, the shape of the one in the sixth picture is my favorite, it's really pleasing to me.

[John Keeton]

Ed, you have a very nice assortment there - all well done!! That sure is a big lighter next to that last turning!;):rolleyes:

I love them! Beautiful. What kind of hollowing tool(s) are you using for them?

Jenny,
I use an articulated arm on my larger lathe for the regular hollow forms. For the tiny one, I ground down an allen wrench and put it in a home made handle. I'll try to post a picture of it tomorrow.

Nice demo setup and a nice bunch of HFs Ed! I'd never have guessed the size of the smaller one without the bic for comparison, pretty cool!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great job on some beautiful HF's.

did ya have fun? hope so..I love the little pear shaped one with the lighter...just cuter than a bug's ear!

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Come on!!! That had to be trick photography. No one can make such small finials with clean detail. I wish I could have been there to watch you turn them. Do you know one of those witch doctors who can shrink heads?? :)>

Michelle,
Yes, I am having fun. I'm so glad to be retired and have all day to play in my shop.

Faust,
I'm just getting started on the small stuff. I plan on doing some more even smaller. Don't know any witch doctors but I'd be afraid that they might get mad and shrink me instead of my work. :eek:

Jenny,
Here are a couple of pictures of my hollowing tool mad from an allen wrench. I'm planning on doing even smaller turnings so I'll probably end up making some smaller hollowing tools.
