Had a few hours free this morning and decided to keep trying out my new toy (Monster Hollowing Rig). Chucked up a log of mesquite and started shaping the exterior. When that was done i set up my steady rest and began end grain hollowing the vessel. I had it fairly well hollowed out but i cut thru the side wall and blew it apart. After alot of bad words I thought about what went wrong. I think i should have checked the laser more often and adjusted it more frequently to the cutting edge. I think i was having to much fun hollowing and just blew off checking and adjusting as we discussed in prior threads.
Last picture was from the previous turning and when i took the tool out I noticed that i had bent the shaft on the tool holder. I took it to my vice and bent it back. Not real sure how or when it happened but im glad i could bend it back easy and didn't break it........hummm still alot more learing i see.
Well tomm is another day and im hoping for another chance.
