    playing with hollowing rig

    I have been playing with the hollowing rig that I made and added a lazer pointer to it Friday night. These are some Christmas presents that I finished turned today with it. They just have Tung oil on them now. I still need to buff them when they dry.

    Whoa, Sparky, these are your first attempts? Mighty fine indeed. I have no experience in hollowing but your work looks great to me!!!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Thanks Guys!
    I need to post pictures of my rig now that I have added the laser to it. Now I just need to make about 8 more before Christmas.

    Edited: Thats 8 more bowls not hollowing rigs.

    Very nice work, Sparky. I like the very clean look of the shapes.

    You had me scared for a minute---glad you added that it was eight more bowls.
    Almost fell out of my chair.

    Really nice hollow forms. I'm still trying to work my way into them. Tried a few at David Ellsworth's class, but I'm a little afraid of trying them on my own.

    Looking forward to the pics of your rig. Al Crandall showed me his rig during his visit to Texas a couple weeks ago and I was impressed. From the examples of your work pictured here, your rig must be great also. Fine Christmas presents for lucky people.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. I am really proud of these bowls and can't wait to buff them out. I promise that I will get some good pictures of my hollowing rig ASAP and post them for those that want to see them. It is a Jamieson style rig with the laser pointer. It works great!
