Tips for Turning Hollow Form Vessels | Woodworker's Journal

Ernie Conover shares his tips and techniques for turning hollow form vessels. Hollow forms are vessels that are spindle turned rather than face plate turned. The grain on hollow forms runs in line with the axis of the lathe. Most bowl blanks are face plate turned, meaning the grain runs across the axis of the lathe.

I love making hollowforms. I really like the idea of the turning gate. It seems like it would really help to take some of the stress out of making hollowforms.

It’s a nifty device yes it’s also huge and probably extremely expensive.there are alternatives out there that are cheaper and better.

There are many "turning gates" on the market all have their pluses and negatives, suggest as Ernie started out hollowing buy hand then you'll appreciate the benefit of these "gates" , also turners like to impress their peers by hollowing through the narrowest of openings don't get duped into this limited appeal approach as it needlessly compounds the degree of difficulty significantly.
