My first hollow form

Interesting form well done

Good try Mike, the minis are not as east to do as a full size hollow form, the one piece of advise that i can give is to make sure you stop a lot and blow out all the chips, if you build up to much it will blow up the walls. what tools are you using for these? check out some of my mini’s when you get a second, have fun and drop me a pm if you need any help.

Looks great Mike. Keep in touch with Roper . He is not only the “Master of Sawdust” but he is also the “Master of The Mini Hollow Form”. Keep it up.

Great job saving the piece Mike. It still looks very nice. Just keep at it.

thanks for the feedback!
Roper, the tools im using were originally made for a metal lathe, its kind of a long story, but like when my dad was little his dad died so he became friends with a neighbor who was really good at making stuff. he was extremely skilled at what he did and he taught my dad a lot of what he knows now. unfortunately he died way before i was born so i never got to meet him… but he inspired my dad to be who he is today :) when he died my dad got to keep his lathe, a 1948(i think thats the year..) logan lathe, its made to turn screws. and he got a bunch of other cool old stuff, the guy made stuff out of everything, veryyy inventive.
lol sry for the story but i felt like sharing.. so basically i got the tools from him. ill post pics tomorrow along with another hollow form that turned out much better.
thanks everyone!

Great first mike. You did a good job of recovering from the explosion.

Keep it up.

Looking forward to many more to come.
