Well it's been a while since I've turned a tall vase so I figured I'd get to it. Don't want to use a hollowing rig....just go the old fashioned way with a big stick.
This is Bertha's big sister...made it a few years ago. Basically an old shovel handle that I cut off and inserted a hefty piece of steel deep inside. The shaft takes 3/8" cutters that I make out of old printer drive shafts. She's 3 feet long and gives me plenty of control even with deep hollowing.
