I got a lathe more years ago that I want to admit to turn chair legs for Windsor chairs. I gotten bit by the hollowing bug and have turned a couple of bowls, but am really interested in learning how to turn hollow forms. We will have to see how the shaving go.

Welcome to the AAW forum, John, The turning bug can certainly bite hard.
There exists no cure for this bug! It can be minimized with buying more stuff as chucks, tools, sandpaper, finishes, etc.
