Can someone point me in the direction of a site showing how to make a
ring tool please? I've made one using a wrench and it hollows out quite
well but I need to fine tune the edge to get a cleaner cut.

Thanks

In green wood, the cut is excellent. You can start the cut in the
centre and the curls fly right out through the hole. In dry wood, it's
not as clean and that is where I would appreciate some input. Perhaps a
different cutting angle?


Cut from below center from edge to base, into the face, skewing the trailing
part a bit. Works great, seen it done by the bodger re-enactors, and do
something similar with the left wing of a bowl gouge.

Caution, shavings roll up in the "opposite" reaction.
