<div dir="ltr">On hook tools -
<div>Some of you remember...I'm the guy that assisted all who
wanted one on Tool Day, way back when. </div>
<div>The rough grinding, the forging/bending, the hardening, the
sharpening, and the tempering are all things that you/we can
do in our shop PROVIDED you start with O1 tool steel. </div>
<div>I'd be happy to revive this, since, as John can attest,
nothing hollows out end grain faster, better, cleaner than a
sharp hook tool.</div>
<div>It has a learning curve, but it's fun learning. After all,
it's just a piece of wood. </div>
<div>There are caveats, of course:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Must be sharp [Duh]</li>
<li>Must be end grain! Disaster awaits if you try to use it
on anything else [like the inside of a crossgrain bowl].</li>
</ul>
<div>Stay safe, but stay busy. </div>

there is a bit of finesse required but not a lot. You are <br>
working on an open mouthed space, it tapers to large at the
mouth. They <br>
won't do hollow forms, you can't get the cutter in at the
right angle <br>
for a cut. They have to be really sharp. You can kind of cut
with a <br>
kind of dull gouge but not with the hook. Most of us love a
really nice <br>
trail of shavings flying off the tool, and the hook tool gives
that. <br>
When it is cutting well, the shavings are long and thick so
wouldn't <br>
blow out of a small hole with compressed air either.<br>
<br>
I would volunteer to do a club demo when it is safe for us to
meet. <br>
(Board members, are you listening?)<br>
<br>
The hook tool making demo was before my time. My efforts to
build one <br>
failed, should have annealed the steel after hardening, so I
bought one <br>
on line and built a shaft and handle to mount it.<br>

>> Members, I am sending a few photos of a yarn bowl I
recently made of a cherry log. It is about 6" diameter at the
top and perhaps 6" tall. I turned it in spindle orientation
and hollowed mostly with a hook tool, then finished up with a
negative rake scraper. Cut the "J" shaped hole for yarn with a
Forstner bit in a hand drill and a saber saw then finished
with spray-on Polycrylic brand finish. I am going to TRY to
send a seperate brief video of me using the hook tool to make
a walnut yarn bowl that is currently in the process of finish
application.<br>
