A snake hollower from another angle. This strikes me as a good design, one of the better ones I have seen to date.

Have to go to YouTube to watch it. :~


I like the way the tips (bits that hold the cutters) are replaceable, to provide the different angles. :think: Potential additions for the RipSnorter? :wink:

Just watched both of those, looks like a good bit of gear.

Wonder what it costs to buy?

If I ever, ever, get into deep hollowing with such tools. someone please put me out of my misery. There are enough turning challenges out there without trying to deep hollow down 12 inches/ 300mm.

And I go wonder how our Oz hardwoods would go in any case?

Thanks Hughie.

I've used the Vicmarc hollowing support system a bit and it's smooth in clear wood but bounces around when you hit a knot.

I thought it was exxy but those Yank prices are something else.

Jeff, no drama, you just sharpen a lot :rolleyes: and go deep and or narrow so you don't have to sand much :wink:

Two or three "improvements" in a single tool?

The snake tip could apply to any system.
Ditto the laser.
The elbow-type contraptions provide more opportunities for slop, and captive rigs ala Jamieson seem more robust to me.

Elegance is achieved not by adding as much complexity as possible, but by removing as much as possible.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Cheers,
Joe

What I liked about this particular version was the ease of use and freedom of movement that it would assist anybody with restricted hand or arm movements.

No doubt the construction that looks like welded and then machined with bearings internally would be pricey. But if gets you back into turning........

I would probably modify it a bit. The multi piece foot looks like it could do with been made in one piece. Would also have varing handle lengths and positions, if not a general short one.
