I'm working on a necked hollowform, and it appears that I'm going to have to make either an articulated tool or a bunch of fixed-shafted tools that are only slightly different in the curves in order to reach the base of the neck plus the "roof" of the vessel out to about the transition to vertical. The neck opening is about 3/4" and I'll be using 3/8" O-1 drill rod with an M-2 HSS cutter inserted with CA.
Anyone here have experience making such (similar to the Serious and Munro jointed shafts) and care to share pitfalls or tips, etc?
Since I don't have access to a mill to make those nice "tongue & fork" joints, I'll be grinding the 1/2 diameter flats on the round rod ends. I plan to use a 10/24 hex-cap screw as the position lock, but am open to suggestions.
Thanks for any input.
