Been doing a bunch more closed-form bowls (6"x2" to 12"x4") lately and under the rim has been very fatiguing with the small/cheap carbide hollower I have. I could get away with a bigger/stouter hollower, but a beefy system would be less limiting in the future.

Would love to upgrade to some arm-gear for this, and wanted to see if anyone had a rig they don't want or use. Something like the Sorby or a homemade rig that I can mount my current swan-neck bar in would be great, a D-Way rig even better (does anyone ever actually get rid of those?!?)

Been a long time, but I'm still in the market. It's a good sign that no one wants to part with them, though!
