Remove bulk of the center. waste, working from top to bottom. The basic steps in hollowing a vessel are laid out in this diagram. As always, practice is the key to mastering any new technique. direction works best for you. (See Drawing above.) You'll have to stop frequently to clear the chips that accumulate inside the vessel, otherwise they will eventually seize up around your hollowing tool and could result in damage to your vessel or worse. I stop the lathe whenever the chips need clearing, and then blow them out with a long-nosed air gun attached to my compressor. Many turners like to hollow the upper neck and shoulder areas before continuing to the lower sections of a piece. This method reduces vibration and chatter and provides the best supjxirt for the delicate walls of your vessel as you approach final wall thickness. It's a good idea to check that wall thickness frequently, especially when you get close to your target thickness. A piece of stiff wire bent into a rudimentary caliper works fine for this, although more elaborate gauges are available. Once the inside ol the piece has been more-or-less cleared out, you can clean up the inside walls of the vessel with very light and careful passes until you reach the uniformity you want. Then, reverse-chuck the piece in a vacuum or jam chuck to finish-turn the bottom. Ellis Walentine is the originator and host of WoodCentral.com and a long-time compulsive woodturner,.
