Notes for Hollow turning videos #2 & 3 - right angle tool

Just a few quick notes as you can't get everything from a video.  
If you look carefully at the tool positions in these two videos,
you will notice that I start with the tool pointed down to the
7:30 position or so.  This is to make contact with the wood in the
least aggressive position.  After the initial contact is made, I 
slowly rotate the tool towards the 9 o'clock position where the 
more aggressive cuts take place.  To take a lighter or smoother 
cut, simply rotate the tool back down.  Most of the cutting action
takes place at the tip, however I grind my hollowing tools into 
a rounded shape much like a round nosed scraper so that light
side cuts can also be made.  This helps with the initial roughing
in that cuts can easily be made in the forward and backward motions.

have fun & enjoy!
