Default Monster HF Tool

Well bit the bullet a week ago and decided I really like doing Hollow Forms. As you can see from a couple I posted including in the contest. So I am gearing up to hit it hard and heavy. I have the Kelton Hollow Form tools both the 5/16" and 5/8" for freehand but want to do some bigger stuff. So I bought the Monster Hollowing Rig from Randy Privett. It is a captured system like the Jamieson Rig but come with extra cutter, scrapers and a swan neck tool. It is also laser guided so when you get into the deep big hollow forms you won't come thru the side. Also had him make me a new tool rest out of 1" round steel. Should help with the movement of the tool. Anyway here are some preview pictures and will take more when I get it mounted on the lathe. He custom builds these to your lathe.
