Thread: bct hollowing tool

Back in my earlier days of hollowing I was chasing the same thing but couldn't find them in Oz so I ended up making my own look-a-like - without the stabilizer. I think Hughie was toying with one with a stabilizer at one stage. I suspect it would be a nuisance at times and it would stop me from using my gate-styled rest which I prefer to use when hollowing.

Well that was a big help!!!

Yep I ws playing around with one of my own manufacture.... a knock off
Never really finished it, but i like the concept and from viewing the web site I would say it does prettty well what they claim it can do.

As Vern has pointed out you may have to ship from the UK..

But try this link as a couple of guys have them there

As to Oz hardwoods etc dunno other forms of cup type tools do have a tendancy to chatter abit. I have been looking at this for a while to try and come up with some thing thats more stable etc....a work in progress as they say

i should buy one and report back i'm probably gonna order from the tool post in the uk. Either that or save up for the monster hollower from the states. That thing looks serious.

hughie i'm also a bit concerned by the style of cutter on hardwoods like we have here so that might be the thing that will make me look at other options. Thanks for your help on the issue though. If i get one i'll give it a good workout on something ridiculous like quinine if it doesn't shatter in my hands.

eisbaer,

While your looking around go to the Woodcut site and check out the Porforme Hollower
