Yes Gerald the snow thrower is finally back in storage for the summer. Had to go get the lawnmower. I think we’ve mowed the lawn four times already. I almost like dealing with snow. Better, thanks Sam.
Thanks for all the info you put into this one Sam! The prep work you do before hollowing is as important as hollowing! I swear ..... you must be a box elder magnet! Lol! Take care, Dave
Thank you sam. I’ve turned many bowls but have been very hesitant to turn hollow forms. This helps a lot. I think the next time I’m the shed, I’ll dive in. Thank you as always. Stay well
You have an excellent design going. The exterior shape is very pleasing. I think you covered all the basic concepts of roughing out a wet turning. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
nicely done Sam. This is the way I did my hollow forms for several years. Then I got tired of getting beaten up while returning the inside of the form. Now I only do end grain forms to final dimension. Will they move some? Sure. But if it's just sitting there you can hardly tell at all. Turn them thin enough and they usually will be dry enough to finish sand in less than a week. Safe turning. Tony
Tony. My problem is I usually put an insert in the recess opening and then turn threads. So I can’t afford to have the hollow form move. I have Trent Bosch‘s stabilizer so hollowing is a lot easier. Thanks, Sam.
Before I get further into this video (2:00) I’ve just go to ask: Do you let the shavings get so deep that you have to use your snow blower to get them out of the shop? 🙄 Cheers, Tom
I really wish I could be there for the symposium. They are very expensive as you might suspect and traveling from where I live is difficult. I plan on going to Portland the next year. Wish I could be there. Have fun Sam.
I can usually sharpen a bandsaw blade two or maybe three times. I have arrived at using a Dremel tool with a little round flat cutter. Cindy Drozda has a very good video showing how she sharpens a bandsaw blade but I think now a lot of people are using a Dremel Later Sam
When I turn in a hollow form, I really don't see in the inside. I often put an insert in the opening, and no one can ever get a finger inside to check how rough it is. Life is too short. If you were new to hollowing, I would start with a straight tool. If I can, I always use a straight tool because they're easier to control. I might cover this topic in a future Turning Tips video. Check out my TH-cam channel. I have lots of Halloween videos there. Thanks for the question. Sam
Thank You Sam , It is al. way nice to Know or be show how to get stater on a new project .
G'day Sam, I love the way you explain everything as you go along, good teacher great, thanks.
Great lesson Sam.
And here I thought I was the only guy with a snow-thrower in his shop! Glad Spring finally got here.

Sam, love the video; very relevant information. Thanks and keep the videos rolling.
Thanks, marking the proportions of the bowl with a pencil is a simple visual which I neglect, thanks for the tip.
I love hollow forms...you gave us great tips and lessons!

Yes, thanks to Jared Lyman up in Ten Sleep. I still haven’t run out of Box Elder. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing!

Interesting to see how you do this with hollow forms.

Thank you for sharing Sam, the video is very interesting and instructional. Stay safe

Ha, ha ha you were the second one who’s asked me that. It’s not a bad idea, 😎😄
Is the machine behind you at 1:43 for blowing snow or blowing chips?
Snow blower 😄
👍Cool
Thank you for your tips ... will you be attending AAW Louisville this year?

Good video Sam-- just wondering do you ever try sharpening the bandsaw blades! Keep up the good work! Richard

That looks nice, how will you sand the inside. What kind of hollowing system would you suggest for my Jet mid size lathe.

I keep telling myself I need to make a hollow form or three.
I just sold 2 urns ⚱️. I am really going to turn my focus from Bowls to Hollow Forms. I just don’t have enough really large earns to show people. Sam
Do you hollow to final thickness? I think that was glossed over. Ending seemed rushed.
As the title says, Rough turning’ no I will dry these in shavings an re-turn them when dry. I will look at the end of the video. Thanks Sam
