    I've been looking to get into hollowing and have been eyeballing this setup. It seems pricey but looks way more sturdy than the Simple rig. Carter has a similar system too but i havent found many reviews on it. Im kind of in your boat where im limited on space and currently only have a Rikon 14"

    I love the elbo 2. If you have specific questions about the jig and your lathe reach out to Tim Yoder. He will definitely be able to guide you. His website is wtwtim.com/ Another jig worth looking at is the Trent Bosch hollowing jig. Also a bit pricey, but generally with tools, you get what you pay for. Good luck with hollowing and thanks for watching!

    I have a brand new DeWalt 8" standard grinder, but I can easily lower the speed on it by simply plugging it into a variac (a variable voltage transformer) by lowering the voltage it will lower the motor's speed and since the variac can be adjusted from 0 to 130v I can adjust it to whatever speed is best. It beats going out and buying another whole new grinder. I can use an rpm app on my phone to know what speed the grinder is turning.

  • @ScottsMiniWoodshop
    @ScottsMiniWoodshopАй бұрын

    Great question. If what you're using as a burnishing tool is too soft it probably won't work as expected. I'd say your burnishing rod should be at least as hard or harder than what you're trying to burnish. I had a commercially made burnishing tool I bought many years ago for burnishing card scrapers and it works for me. I have turner friends who use the rounded back of a spindle or bowl gouge. Some people make their own burnishing tool using the smooth shank of an old drill bit. Do you need a carbide rod to burnish HSS? In my experience, no. But if I were making a burnishing tool and had some round carbide bar stock handy, I'd use it. Thanks for watching!!

    its a bit more than that but yes, its an adjustable holder. It allows you to transfer your work from the lathe to something else without having to remove it from the chuck. You can then adjust the piece for carving. Its true, I probably could have done similar carving if I left the piece on the lathe but then I'd have to had sat on the headstock which would have been a bit uncomfortable. Saying this device is "just an adjustable holder" is like saying the lathe is just thing that spins wood with a motor (which it basically is)

    Hi Scott, thanks for a super informative video, One of, if not my favourite tools for spindle work, and also for tenons and recesses, is an angled oval skew, I invariably sharpen that on a flat oil stone, which seems to work ok? would I be better using the grinding wheel, and if so, should I only use it "one way up" to utilise the burr? One thing for sure, none of my tools seem to cut as well as the one sI see on videos ( they're all good HSS Sheffield made tools) I'v just ordered a new bench grinder, as the one I have has a white wheel, but fixed 90 degree rests, so it's all done freehand. Thanks again, hopefully using your advice, and the new grinder I might use less sandpaper!! Best regards...Pete

  • @ScottsMiniWoodshop
    @ScottsMiniWoodshop2 ай бұрын

    Hi Pete. There is no definitive "right" way to sharpen. We all have to do what works best with our individual style. I know plenty of turners who freehand sharpen all their tools. Derek Weidman is one that comes to mind and Derek does things on a lathe that has to be seen to be believed. With that said, my sharpening method works for me and its relatively simple. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! My opinion on your skew question is, if you're sharpening it as a scraper it wont cut as well when using it as a skew. The opposite is also true. When you sharpen a scraper a burr of metal forms on the up side of the tool . If you turn it over the burr is now on the bottom. you can force the tool to scrape wood with the burr facing down but it will be very inefficient and will leave a less then desirable cut surface. Some turners have two matching skews with one side marked so they wind up with a right facing and a left facing scraper. I just resharpen if I need the burr on the other side. As mentioned above, there is no issue with sharpening freehand as long as you're getting the edge you want. I use the platform for speed and consistency. Getting that bevel angle the same every time also makes the tool very predictable for me. If your grinder wheel is too coarse and its creating a large burr that "gets in the way" when using the tool as a skew, try stropping. Stropping the skew will remove the burr altogether and if done properly will leave you with a razor sharp tool. If your tools don't seem that they are as sharp as they could be, my guess is the culprit is the freehand sharpening. It's a difficult skill to master and any error could give you a less than sharp edge. I hope this helped somewhat. Best of luck with the new grinder, happy turning, and thanks again for watching!

    @petejones19572 ай бұрын

    @@ScottsMiniWoodshop Thanks very much for that Scott, all good advice, Even though I've had the lathe for a long time, I've never had a grinder until recently, and had to use a flat oil stone, which for gouges, as you san imagine, is not easy! As I think I said, my current grinder only has a 90 degree rest, so looking forward to the new (Record Power) one. I think maybe, watching many videos of skilled people turning often, green wood where great ribons come off the bowls doesn't match the results I get always turning seasoned wood on a very small lathe. Oh well, new shed in the summer, so perhaps a new lathe to go in it! Thanks again Scott. Best wishes...Pete.

    Thanks for this thorough video, and for the detailed review of the Trent Bosch system in one of your other videos. I wonder if you could say a few words about why you've settled on the articulated rigs rather than the Lyle Jamieson rig? If I understand correctly the Jamieson rig does not suffer from the one shortcoming, range of motion, that you pointed out on the ELbo II. And for smaller vessels, say ones you would use a 3/8 or 1/2 inch shank tool for, are you still hollowing by hand? Thank you!

  • @ScottsMiniWoodshop

    I went with the articulated rigs (Bosch and Elbo2) mostly because of their small compact size. Jamieson rig is huge and I'd need the room to store it. My shop really is 'Mini' and space is at a premium. Between the two rigs I have, I'm in pretty good shape for what I like to do. I'm sure the Jamieson rig is great but I've seen it on display at several symposia and I'd have trouble storing it when not in use. As far as hollowing smaller turnings without a rig, I generally do what's most time efficient. Sometimes it's just quicker without the rig. I broke my right collar bone a few years ago and sometimes it doesn't like me hand holding the tools. On those days, I'm going straight for the rig regardless of the size of the hollowform
