When I let the wood come to the tool the tools do the work. This takes very little strength.
I find the Ellsworth gouge makes turning easy.
I use the hunters to finish hollowing goblets.
I see lots of folks using techniques that are rough on the body.
They powernthrough the wood and it works for them but they get more tired than necessary.
The hollowing systems are all easy on the body and the wood.
The best way I know of to learn techniques easy on the body is to take a class or get some mentoring.
Most local clubs have programs to help.
Here is kind of what I mean by letting the tool do the work hollowing a small bowl shape.
You see me open my hand to let the tool feed itself into the cut.
The rotating tool wants to pull the tool shaft away from my grip so I let it.
turning my body to follow the tool so the bevel stays on the wood.
I learned the technique in classes.
