Hollower Laser Holder

**OGYT** · 21st February 2007, 10:21 AM

Just made this little gizmo out of a small block of aluminum today.

It works a lot better than that big chunk of wood that I made before.

I fixed my Radio Shack pointer, too.

(For those who may be a mite inquisitive, the pipe is 3/8, and slides through the 1/2" Tee. It locks with a setscrew. Had to get another 12" 3/8 nipple to lengthen the reach of my light.)

How about a pic Al?????

Okay, it's there now.

Hah that's better.

Looks to be a nice solid setup and easy to reset.

Well done Al looks good. Like to see photos of your first hollow form from it.

Sheesh, what a spoilsport. Guffaw! We need to appreciate the tool itself, it doesn't have to do anything, does it?

sorry

I've used the tool before quite a few times. But I don't remember which form was the first.

I think it's this one, that's made out of Honey Locust timber I got from my Son.

No, it wasn't. The first one I made with it was a Black Walnut Hollowform that I've sold already. It was posted on another thread when I first made the hollowing rig. Sorry for the mixup. It's here: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...+Rig+Prototype

The little aluminum block replaces an awful looking wooden holder that I had made at first. The one made from timber wasn't as easy to adjust and didn't hold the laser as steady as this one does.
I was inspired to do this after seeing the type of work that Hughie and others on this forum have done when making tools. Then yesterday I saw a pic of a laser holder like this one, so I had a go at it.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. And I thank all of the people on this forum for the inspiration to do better work. Right on!

I didn't want to say it Al and now you've saved me from any embarrassment. Looks far more professional now - onya' mate!

G'Day Al

Will file this one away with your first plan (am still trying to digest that one) for when I am in an adventuresome frame of mind.

Cheers
Bernie
