Made this today the bar is 5/8 sq 12inch long the bit is a glass drill it has a colbolt tip the bar is drilled in the end and on the side at 45 degrees a hole drilled were the holes cross in the bar and tapped 4mm
The tip I will reshape to a round at the tip too sharpe but works good, Handle 14 inches long
I made this on the heavy side so I get no flexing of the bar

It looks very big and ungainly. But if that is what you used to make your hollow form bowl then it is a piece of very good engineering :thumbs:
