As I'm on a hiatus from turning, I needed something to keep my ADD at bay. So my local Community College was offering a machining class and I signed up. Here is the first part of the upright for my hollowing arm. I'll try and get a pic of the plan in a bit. The upright will center the bar at 12.5" for the ways.

Here's a pic of the Solid Works plan my buddy drew up for me. Mine differs from most in that, where the hollowing bar is inserted into the arm, that receiver has a 7/8" hole in one end and if you rotate it 180 degrees, there is a 3/4 hole in the opposite end, eliminating the need for inserts. Not sure that really made sense.

Updates to follow. Comments and criticism appreciate.....preferably before I make the part.
