1st Thread, 1st Gloat, 1st & 2nd Hollowed Forms

[BILL DONAHUE]

Well, if I finally figured out how to post pictures, this will be my first thread. My first gloat is the Monster Mini-Hollowing System which I received as a Christmas gift in January and finally used in February. It is terrific! After doing 11 pens and 14 bowls I was ready to move on to hollowed forms and this is the way to go. It's a well designed and well built system that got good results from the start. The 1st form is spaulted sycamore, 9 1/4" x 3." The second is hickory and is 7" x 3 5/8." They were both easy to do on my Jet Mini.

Awesome Bill! It looks like you came to play. I hope to get my mini system this week!

[Dennis Peacock]

Looks real good there Bill!!!! Nice forms and some very pretty wood.

Oh...and WELCOME to The Creek!!!! This is where the turning Vortex runs deep. ;)

Bill - Congrats on your first thread!

Great looking hollow forms! Good form and finish on each! Really like the spalt lines on the Sycamore! The Hickory reminds me of Cherry - love the rich color!

Very nice work! Looking forward to seeing more!

Oh - in case no one else told you yet - be careful, Hollow Forms are extremely addicting!

Beautiful job with a tool I've been lusting for. Thanks for the good report on it. That is the most attractive piece of Hickory I've seen in a long time Both the HF's a very nicely done.....Bill...

[Bernie Weishapl]

Welcome and those pieces are beauties. Well done.

[Tom Sherman]

Welcome to the party, and you do some nice work, I like both pieces very much.

[Ron Drew]

Very nice job Bill. I hear a lot of good remarks about the Monster Hollowing System, but I'm sure it takes an equal amount of skill to produce turnings like those.

[George Guadiane]

Excellent First Post!
Nice turnings and a further encouragement for me to get a Monster of my own!
Welcome!!!

[Scott Hubl]

Nice form, nice wood, welcome.

[Robert McGowen]

Those are both very nice pieces. Congrats on the gloat.
Very nice first thread...... :)

These are great looking pieces, thanks for letting us see them.

[Dale Gregory]

Wow, nice pieces! Great first post! Welcome! I hope to add the articulating Hollowing system for my lathe in the near future.
