DEMONSTRATION
Ron Day - Large
Hollow Form - In this months demonstration Ron follows up last months
demonstration of turning a small hollow form with turning a large hollow form on
his "Mustard Monster", a Powermatic 4224 Lathe. Ron discussed
the different techniques involved, primarily safety concerns about speed and
supporting the turning blank with a larger chuck and a steady rest.

turning blank has been transferred to the chuck and a large steady rest is
used to support the piece during hollowing. Ron also drills out the
center to the finished depth of the vessel |
The
hollowing begins using heavy duty tools with good support for both the
tools and the turner |
