Greetings all.
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this request for help, but I hope if it isn't, that someone will move it where it belongs.
Today I read a News Letter from an extremely talented and world respected Wood Turner. I won't mention his name here because I am certainly not trying to cause him any difficulty.
In his News Letter it is indicated that an Articulated hollowing tool is dangerous as it can cause a catastrophic catch and somehow cut a finger off the turner! This of course is worrisome for me as I use an older style Articulated arm hollowing tool and wonder if there is any history of injuries especially amputations that can be attributed to this type of tool.
If this tool is as dangerous as portrayed, I would sure like to know, I have been crusing along believing that I am turning in a fairly safe manner at least safer than when I was hollowing with a hand held Sorby scraper . . . . .
