Redbud Vase

[@StephenOgle]

Great project John, I need that hollowing rig! The Redbud will be really nice once it is finished up. Can't wait to see the finish.

[@CarlJacobson]

Great job John, I really like that hollowing setup you made. Well done! Take care, Carl

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

Thank you Carl, I have learned a lot from you and appreciate your taking the time to watch. I am doing a video on my hollowing set up next and should have it up soon. I just did a vase and got 12" deep with no problem (in camphor).

שלום אהבתי את המתקן לחריטה עמוקה.

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

ישראל קרמר Thank you for watching and for noticing my "rig". I will be doing a video on how I made it.

[@CarlJacobson]

John Williams I look forward to the video, that's a nice set-up.

[@YTcustomchris]

I have not used a face plate that much but that is a good idea with the router. Your video skills looked fine to me. I also like that rig looks heavy duty. Good Job! Hope to see more Chris

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

Thank you Chris. I have not had great luck with a spur drive in wet wood (I may need a two prong type) and the face plate is very secure although I use the tail stock as well always on the tough turning. Hope you will check out my video on making the captive guide. I does work well and was not much money (unless you add in the cost of the MIG welder I bought 10 years ago to rebuild a 1977 Bronco). Thanks for watching.

[@BlindWoodTurner]

Nice work John.I look forward to your next video. Chris.

[@MikeWaldt]

Good work John, that rig looks "the business", great video, and looking forward to the next. Take care Mike

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

You will see how i made it and the rest of the Redbud project - Thanks

[@brinsonb]

Nice piece, I like the shape. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

Thanks for viewing and you kind comment. I hope to have the completion done in a few weeks when it dries. I had some more cracking and soaked it in Pentacryl.

[@markvankoersveld5881]

That is a strong looking jig, I take it the double support bars are to prevent you from loosing control of your chisel's if they grab while turning.

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

Yes it is pretty strong. I captures my boring bar so I don't get knocked out with a bad catch! The front takes the down pressure and the back guards against that kick back if it happens. Thanks for watching and your comments.

[@Robbiethewoodturner]

hi john nice work there thats a greate hollowing setup you have can you tell me the name of the respirator you are using.I seeing one used at a demo and haven't seen them since All the best Robbie

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

Robbie - the dust mask is a "Dust Be Gone" - I got it at Woodcraft, a little pricey but it washes out and is good as new. I think it is worth it. Several folks have commented on my hollowing rig - it will be my next video - thanks!

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

***** Thank you again Eric. I hope you will stop back as new videos are put up.

[@anthonymaida5718]

John How Do like the nova 1624?

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

I liked the 1624 a lot. I had upgraded to the DVR motor and that made a big difference. "shifting gears" got to be cumbersome. I would highly recommend a variable speed control. After I did this video Nova/TecnaTool had an open house in their St. Pete facility. They had a 2024 demo for sale and I upgraded to that. The 1624 with DVR motor took all of two days to sell! They are a great value and have met all I have thrown at it.

NO! What?!?!

[@JohnWilliams-oq5nm]

I thought you knew something had happened to him so I called him. He is fine but has taken another full time job and has not had the time to produce his great videos.
