Hollowing Tool

Build Process description available here

This is a simple hollowing tool I made as a present for my father. I'd previously made one of them for myself and he'd seemed interested when he saw it so I thought I'd make him is own one!

It's used for hollowing into end grain (as you might when making a turned box) and is based on a tool I used when on a woodturning course with Paul Hannaby (the tool I used on the course had been made by Paul Hannaby).

You can see an example of it being used on page 2 of my pepper-mill build log and you can read about how it was made on the build log for this tool.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
