I am trying to turn a segmented bowl and am having trouble shaping the return toward the top of top bowl. This is the bowl I am trying to turn except it has one more ring in the middle and is a little bigger in diameter. http://www.turnedwood.com/images/Bowl0671a.jpg. Being kind of a newbie to the sport I didn't have a hollowing tool so I built one. I followed the instructions from Bill G's and Bill Stevners threads from last week. I used a 3/8" round bar stock and drilled a 1/4" hole in the end of the bar at a right angle. I used a 1/4" drill bit for the cutter and turned a beefy black ash handle for it. I sharpend the cutter to about 30 degrees with a little radius to it. It looked like a great tool. It cut but not reel fast. When I got further from the tool rest the vibration got so bad a could hardly hold onto it and it left like a chattering on the inside of the bowl. It took quite a bit of 80 grit gouge work to clean it up. What am I doing wrong? It did work OK on truing up the opening of the top ring. I tried holding the cutter at 90 degrees and 45 but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Thanks!
