DIY drill bit end grain tool - any success?
Hi everyone,
In my search for alternative ways to remove end grain material, I came across this: Hollowing Tool Bit Detailed Instructions - YouTube
Looks pretty cool, but I haven't been able to find any real instructions on how to make it. The video is pretty poor quality (old) and he doesn't really hold it still, and links and photos on other forums seem to be dead. I did try it by just basically grinding down one "wing" of a bit to a more curved profile but with limited success.

Has anyone given this a go and had any luck? I've seen other references to using end mill pieces but they're pretty pricey, and I'd rather put that money to a purpose designed tool or even a huge forstner bit!
Thanks
