Show & Tell – Hollowing Tools

When: May 8, 2025 @ 7pm
Where: Robert Bateman Secondary School and Zoom

According to the last survey of guild members there is a lot of interest in learning about how to hollow out the inside of vessels. Your demonstration committee has organized a Show & Tell by each of five FVWG members who will be talking for 5 to 10 minutes about their hollowing system. By showing different types of hollowing tools, you will be able to decide which system you prefer.

You will have a chance to see and ask questions about:

1) Rear captive system with a laser made like the Lyle Jamieson boring bar.

2) Dennis Stewart system with an arm brace.

3) Small system with an outrigger bar made like the Don Derry ornament hollowing bar.

4) Articulated boring bar made like the Trent Bosch boring system.

5) Front Captive system by Carter Tools.

6) Swan neck type hand tools by Robert Sorby
