Spalted Sycamore Hollow Form and NEW TOOL Tim Yoder Hollowing System

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Kim , great piece of wood, turning as per usual, I know it’s from a long time ago, but I’ve been looking through bits and pieces people using hollering tools, stay safe keep up the great work hopefully, see you again soon🙏 Phil from the moulin France .

[@kimr5841]

Such a wonderful and creative talent you have Kim. It's a lovely piece as always.

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Congratulations on your new tool! And… Happy Birthday 🎉 I love how this vase turned out; the grain itself is beautiful and with your skills you have made it come to life! I truly liked the gold/black lid and finial. I thought that was a great accent! Fantastic work! Bravo!

[@billk8579]

Terrific piece. The Elbow hollowing jig looks like a good investment.

[@philvale5724]

Hi, 👋, I know why this came up because I’ve been searching for large hollowing tool systems, I ended up making something very similar to this, out of some scrap tubing and some bits of metal, and to make the tubing more rigid, I machined up some pieces of oak and jammed inside it very tight, and like yours, it works excellent, great piece of kit, what you’ve demonstrating, Will we ever see you back on the workshop floor?, Phil from the moulin France .

[@shercooke4356]

Your commentary is beautiful. You show your heart in such a raw, relatable, kind way. I’m sure you’ve been called “real” a million times; (BECAUSE YOU ARE 😊) and your decision to be so transparent is one of the reasons I love watching you 🙏🏻❤️

Great form! Colors go wonderful together. Keep safe my friend. 👍🇺🇸

[@johntatro37]

May God bless and protect you and your family

[@KimTippin]

Thank you! You too!!

[@jamescarter8813]

Glad to see you are still using the resin/acetone tip I told you about. It really can save a lot of woods that are really to far gone. It turned out great.

[@KimTippin]

Yes!!! It is my go to method! I appreciate your tip. I have saved a ton of wood with it. You are a blessing!!!

[@JimMarx]

Hollow forms are addicting! Enjoy your new journey! More importantly, Happy Birthday!

[@nancyeding4924]

As usual - love the turning and love the new tool! You make it look so easy. You and your family be well, Kim.

[@leandrotelloespert7768]

Hi Kim, congratulations, I loved your work. Kisses

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!!

[@arlineastman]

Great form, fit and finish. Great use of tools and love the word on the headstock!!!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much 🤗🤗 🙏🙏

[@arlineastman]

Being 100% disabled from a bombing in the middle east and now turning for the last 10 years and teaching other vets I get to see alot of KZbin videos and just had to applaud you. I hope someday I can buy video equipment so I can encourage and show more disabled people how to turn.

[@KimTippin]

wow!! Thank you so much for your service ❤ 🙏 🇺🇸 God bless you and all you do for others!! Thank you!!

[@carolriley8472]

Nice birthday present! Lovely hollow form!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you, Carol!

[@kam70111]

Hypnotic, it felt as if you were carving through butter. Plus the fact that your voice almost put me to sleep. Bravo.

[@KimTippin]

😁😁😁 Thank you!!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Kim and Family, I hope you all keeping safe and well, this wood toning project came up this morning, I hadn’t seen it before, as it was from a long time ago, how are things going? Have you finally started on your workshop yet?, I’ve started toning some bits and pieces, and I’ve been making some of my own tools, I’ve just made a very large boring bar, how is the Homestead coming?, Will we see you back in action on the lathe soon?, Not sure whether you will see this as it is from two years ago., stay safe, Phil from the moulin, France .

[@richardlaney2047]

That looks great Kim. Very nice job.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you very much, Richard!

[@jussikuusela7345]

That wood has a perplexing color which comes truly alive with the glossy finish. IMO the metallic finish on the lid was nice too.

[@johndavis44]

A lovely piece Kim, great shape and gorgeous grain! I think the black works much better than the original finish too. That hollowed certainly looks the bees knees, I’d love to try one...

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! Yes it is!

[@levismadore556]

Always a joy to watch. Bless you and allow me to translate the words of the birthday song in our area of the planet: « My dearest Kim, t’is time for you to be spoken in words of love » Lévis

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much ,Levis!!

[@SP4Parks]

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I wanted to watch this video for the elbo tool because I have been interested in it, as well. It does indeed look great and simple to use. Then I got caught up in your turning! LOL! I really like the design you came up with for this piece. Simple yet elegant. The grain is beautiful, as well. Nice job, Kim! 👍 😊 Phil

[@KimTippin]

Phil!! You have been an inspiration to me before I started turning. I thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your journey! I am so thankful for you! You had me at "howdy" 😁🤗😉

[@sonyhk3824]

Nice work nice piece of art nice new tools. Cheers Kim

[@KimTippin]

[@anvilstudio5279]

Beautiful hollow form Kim! Great shape. We can all learn a lot just by watching you work each gouge. Looking forward to checking out the pottery book you mentioned. Sounds just what I need to get me to creating new designs. Stay safe and healthy.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! That reminds me, I forgot to put the link in the description for the book!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I will do that in a bit. Thank you for reminding me!!

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Golly, that spalting made the sycamore come so alive with color and character 😮 Stay safe. -Mike

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much, Mike 🤗

[@johnniegarrrell9566]

Kim, great piece. I also have purchased one of these. It works great in the harder woods (black walnut and hickory). Speed seems to be the trick and keeping a burr on the tool. I do recommend getting a cutter other than the one that comes with it. Becouse the burr quickly goes away in the harder woods. I have successfully hollowed 13" deep with the 3/4" bar. If you want to go deeper you will need a 1" bar machined like the 3/4" one ( too much chatter). Good luck and keep on making shavings.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Beautiful work and well fought for! Thank you, Kim!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Beautiful piece, Kim. Just stunning actually. I told you you'd like the Elbo Tool. Glad you are pleased with it. And thank you so much for the shout out! Billy

[@KimTippin]

Thank you for taking your time to share with me your modification. AND video chatting with me to share your input and experience! I appreciate you!!!!😘😘

Nice vase, like the finial. Happy Birthday, congrats on the hollower.

Thank you so much!!

[@ripsrelics5404]

Happy belated Birthday!!!! Turning 28 is great!!! Love how it turned out. Between Pohl Barn, Moonpie and your channel I will be bouncing all kinds of things around in my mind to turn. Love all that you do and your teaching. Again Happy late Birthday Kim. Tim

Thank you so much, Tim!!

Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗

[@davidmahoy4478]

You mentioned it being your birthday, no age mentioned, none of our business . Oh to be so talented at such a young age. 😊

[@marklengal9990]

I like how your putting the tool used in the upper corner. Nice touch. By the way. I’m still working on my belt squeak issues. I’m a little scared it the shaft issue like you had.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you! Oh goodness, I hope not!!

[@landonblair1168]

Happy Birthday! That is a great tool, stay safe and healthy and keep the videos coming. Great piece! Love it!

[@tedprinz2663]

Nice piece and congrats on the Elbo hollowing system. Yes, it's a wonderful tool with a pretty shallow learning curve. I learned on it at the John Campbell Folk School. They have the tool set up on a plate that mounts to the lathe bed to save wear and tear on the tailstock and quill. You might want to check it out - not very expensive. If you can't get pics let me know. I think I still have them.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you for the info, Ted!

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Another great project Kim, good tool use and technique, like the new system. We need good videos to get through this quarantine deal, thank you. cheers, Craig

[@KimTippin]

Thank you, Craig!

[@davidmorgan7522]

What a great Birthday gift! I use my elbo tool a great deal and love it. I bought the 3/4 to 5/8" adaptor so I could use my Treant Bosch hollowing tools. Congrats and Happy Birthday! Take care, Dave

[@KimTippin]

Yes it was!! Thank you!

[@ernesthopkins8403]

Really enjoyed the video and the review/demonstration on the new hollowing tool. I found it interesting how when you stabilized the wood it had that greenish tint to it plus your way is a lot cheaper than the vacuum pot. Loved the shape you ended up with too on both pieces. As I watched you make your design of the outside shape I noticed it looked a lot like a Roman molding shape. If you have a wood workers supply catalog go to the router bits section and look at their shapes maybe you will find one that the out line shape might would make a nice shape on project. Where could use turning tools on lathe to make the shape but on a much larger scale.

[@thomashester739]

Beautiful it speaks for itself.sometimes the most difficult seems to give some awesome rewards

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much 😊

[@gaetancrepeault9333]

nice work details beautiful Happy birthday late

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much!

[@Woodden]

What a great hollow form. Love the spalting of the wood and the color of the top.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! 😁

[@haydnkett5345]

That was a really great turn. Well done

[@Kindiah]

I LOVE the new shape! The black lid really looks nice with that gorgeous dynamic wood!

[@KimTippin]

Thank you, Kindiah!

[@charlesreicks648]

I really like what you turned. It is amazing as how you watch people turn an object you really like what they are doing then wamm it changes. and then it changes again. I Love your end results. Thanks Prayers

[@KimTippin]

Thank you very much, Charles!

[@craighill1606]

happy birthday and another great looking project

[@lisaalford1245]

I like watching your videos because you tell us what tool you are using for what cut thank you from a new wood turner

[@stever746]

awesome hollow form and a great new tool thinking about getting one

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! I can not wait to do more hollow forms.

[@FinisiusMaximus]

Beautiful piece. Happy Belated Birthday.

[@kengunnell6398]

Nice work. I use epoxy on most of my turnings. Tip: leave shop dark and put a bright light in a corner of the shop to attract bugs has worked for me. I use rotisserie motors to turn items so my lathe is not tied up. I always have to put a flood coat then a top coat after sanding. I use disposable brushes

[@geraldshultz4271]

Beautiful turning Kim Thanks for the tip on thinning with acetone. On the black fennel, try Fiebing"s leather dye. It penetrates very deep and is an easy app. Looks like ebony.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you! I will look into it!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Kim, The hollowing system looks great. I bought a Vicmarc Hollowing System a few months ago on eBay and will be using it on one of my future videos. Funnily enough, it is also a piece of Spalted Sycamore I'll be using. Lovely piece and the matt black works really well. Cheers, Huw

[@phredrocks]

Happy Birthday! The verse you have on the lathe case is the same as the one the was used when establishing the Christian Motorcyclist association, I was part of. The chapter name was recycled. That is one of my favorites. Blessings Fred

[@phredrocks]

Also I am glad to watch some more of your authoritative cutting! Big shavings made short work of projects!

[@shaunfelton2046]

Stunning job, Kim!

[@kevingaddis7276]

Frantic job Kim. I use sycamore a lot, It has a unique look.

[@bnaivar]

Thank you so much for the "Poor Woman's" stabilizer. :) I've got some spalted sweetgum that is very punky and I want to try that.

[@tompavlik302]

Happy belated birthday, Kim. Mine is coming up on the 29th. All the best turners are born in March, you know!! Lol. Great piece, love your videos.

[@KimTippin]

lol yes!! Thank you!!

[@kennethnuttle7251]

I would also recommend looking at the Cabinet makers directory by Thomas Chippendale was available by Dover press. Also Roubo’s work. All of these have classic shapes that go back to Greek and Roman times. Also Moxon for tool handle shape that can inspire.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you for the info!!

[@loucinci3922]

Thank you, Lou!

[@rb3046]

Great piece Kim! The finial came out really good. I still have problems with them especially on thin portions.

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! I do too. I broke the 1st one I made for this right at the end. Plus I used spalted wood...that was not a good choice. 🤪😁😉🤦‍♀️
