I'm astonished, after so many videos, you can some up with one so crammed with new, useful and innovative ideas. I thought I had pretty much seen and done it all by now until this shunted me to a new dimension. Thanks for the great vid Cap'n Eddie.
Thanks so so much Eddie for the hollowing tools on the cheap. I was just about to order about $300. bucks worth when I saw your video, I love making my own tools. ordered the stock. Thanks Eddie
I made a similar tool but I used 5/8" square rod about 24" long and drilled the end with a hole large enough to take the full square shape of the bit and added 2 small setscrews on top to secure the bit. Thin I used duct tape and foam pipe insulation for a handle.
The cutter on Grainger was cheap $3 and change but almost $11.00 shipping on item that weighs maybe 8 oz. not worth it I will keep looking. But Eddie good idea and plan on making one!
Great tutorial on the the cheap! I can't tell from your shot if you can see what you're doing in there. How can you tell what you're doing in there? What are you doing, using the force?
Hey Captain, I need some help. I am relatively new to turning. The turning part I get and enjoy. After noticing that my gouges weren't cutting like they used to and watching several videos I took the initiative to try and sharpen my gouges. I was able to get my roughing gouge sharp. Then I tried to sharpen my skew , bowl gouge and parting tool. Needless to say it didn't work out so well. Especially my attempt at changing the grind on the bowl gouge from the standard grind to the Elsworth grind. I need a place that can fix my mistake. I live in Illinois near about an hour outside of Chicago.
To shave the "other" side I turned my tool upside down and used the same principles as I would if using it on the left side of the lathe or normal side of the lathe. It worked and I saw everything I needed to cut.
You mentioned a couple of times the Angle. I missed it or couldn't hear the angle that you set your cutter at other than that which comes with the actual High Speed Steel Cutter. I'm using my cutter in a homemade Articulated Cutter which is a version of the Snake Cutter. Should I be using a 60 degree rounded off Irish Grind, or is there a better angle that would work better?
Thanks Eddie, I guess you are using the nominal 1/2'' pipe for a 5/8'' bar handle? I wanted to use a 3/4'' pipe for a 3/4'' bar, but its ID is actually about 7/8''. Best to bring your bar when choosing a pipe.
there's no glueing a bunch of pieces together,no cutting in half and hollowing ,then glueing back together to get a cheap wood version of an Anasazi "like" wedding vase,just a natural one piece wood vase .......... I've never turned before but I can tell this is superior...
Thanks Captain! People see the finished product, who cares what the tool looks like as long as it does the job.
Love your posts.

I recently inherited an old WR6. I hope it works as well.
I’d love to see how yoh sharpen/shape the carbide bit
The cutter on Grainger was cheap $3 and change but almost $11.00 shipping on item that weighs maybe 8 oz. not worth it I will keep looking. But Eddie good idea and plan on making one!
Another great video, thanks !

"Go to the other side of your lathe". I laughed so loud. Only a smart man could think of that.
To shave the "other" side I turned my tool upside down and used the same principles as I would if using it on the left side of the lathe or normal side of the lathe. It worked and I saw everything I needed to cut.
Nice, so good
That's what I was thinking too ! Just move to the other side of the lathe !!!!

great video packed with information.do you trail the handle using this type of cutter pse
my roughing gouge is a piece of black pipe 2 ft long cut back about 2 1/2 inches slightly past center and sharpened, probably saves $75
At the three minute mark, you meant to say HSS cutter instead of carbide right?
do you have a video on how make the pipe handle?
Eddie, where do you find pipes for a handle with a 5/8'' inside diameter? Or did you drill the pipe to exactly 5/8''?
hi
what can you suggest for a set of hollowing woodturning tools , with being on social security disability, i cant afford alot thank you
how do u drill the 5/8 to 45
degree?
Great vid thanks
I love your sarcasism!
Captain: Did you mean 10% Cobalt steel cutter? That is what David Ellworth use and I have made three of this with different angles.
Pablo Gazmuri use a drill press and clamp or a milling machine.
there's no glueing a bunch of pieces together,no cutting in half and hollowing
,then glueing back together to get a cheap wood version of an Anasazi "like"
wedding vase,just a natural one piece wood vase ..........
I've never turned before but I can tell this is superior...
