Like Weisy this is my first hollowform, I brought a sorby RS230 Hollowmaster... finding its shortcomings very fast!
I managed to hollow it to 8" deep... should have stopped at 6"!
To use the scraper disc this deep I needed to limit the cut otherwise all I got was dig ins, so I found a washer the same size as the scraper then ground it down rounding it over a bit. This washer goes inbetween the 230's shaft and the scraper disc, I set it for about .5mm cut anymore in this vase it would just dig:((

The vase errr sorry... hollowform, its about 13" tall and 9" in dia, unsure on the wood all I know it was a bridge beam of 10" square, I got given a 2.5' length.
Im unsure on how to finish the bottom, currently it has a 3"face plate mount at the base.
Should I just cut it off flat and leave a spigot base or shape it down to a point/round then make a base stand thingy?

What do you reckon, what would you do?
Also just made my 1st handle(16mm P&N bowl gouge), its jarrah with a 1 1/4" galv water pipe ferule!

Updated my tool/sharpening area too, built it as a roll around cabinet I need to shift it when using my thicknesser(you can see the infeed table of it).
