I enjoy hollowing Christmas ornaments. It's so much easier using my custom made hollowing tools and Johnny Tolly's thickness gauges. I made this tool using a Hunter #1 carbide cutter. I think Mike Hunter now sells and ornament hollowing tool that's similar. I did make a custom measuring gauge using Johnny's style to measure the top of my ornaments. It took me us just over 2 minutes to hollow this to 1/8" wall thickness. It weights 1/2 oz.
