Hi Jason. How did you learn to make these? Did it take you a long time to reach this level of expertise? I'm always curious when I see such a beautiful talent. These are incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this video.
I have been making hollows since 2009. I took a hollowing class that Mike Jackofsky taught at craft supplies in Provo, UT in 2010 I think. Other than that I am self taught. I guess at this point I have made somewhere around 700ish hollow vessels of some kind. A lot of self education, reading, and refinement of form and decreasing the opening size. I currently shoot for opening size to be around 10-12% of the diameter of the piece.
Jason Van Duyn well I’m very impressed. You obviously have the skill but also a great eye as an artist to know exactly the nuances of making a great piece. Ps you should charge more :) do you ship to Canada by chance?
@@cdain Hi Cathy, sorry for replying so late. I do ship to Canada, though the duties do make it a bit more expensive. The last I sent up there was a few months ago and I think the duties came out to about 18-20% of the item. If your interested in anything email me and I can better show you what I have around here, I have a lot thats not listed currently on my website.
its a pvc coupling jammed onto a poplar base (being held by my nova chuck) and I epoxied (west marine) a ring of floor mat material to the other end. Rough edges tend to scar up the matting so I usually have another disc of mat material between the jam chuck and the block of wood. It was a first evolution of a vacuum chuck for bowl work but I never went any further with it. I started using it when I started making my hollow openings smaller than my spur drives.

Jason Van Duyn thank you
What type of chuck is the PVC? Part of a vacuum system?
