<body>Members,<div><br /></div><div>A few days ago I discussed using a hook tool for end grain hollowing, Aaron G added a safety comment, <u>use for end grain only</u>. Very important.<div><br /><div>I need to add another safety note: <u>Mount your log with a face plate not a chuck.</u> Way too many forces are applied to the wood, it will go flying if chucked. Once it is hollowed you might turn a tenon and chuck it for finishing work, but when you are doing the hogging out, face plate mount only. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for your attention, keep those chips flying safely, John</div></div></body></html>
