Hollowing a mahogany base

(1/2) > >>

Ross:
Hi Everyone,

I have a mahogany base on its way and I want to hollow out part of the underside. How  could i go about doing this? I only have very basic wood working tools.

Here is a very bad sketch of the hollowed part.

Stilldrillin:
Have you got a bench drill Ross?

You could spin a small endmill. Used as a router, hand guide the base to gradually mill out to depth.  :thumbup:

A bit like this.......

I'll order an endmill,

How about a woodworking router bit in the milling machine?

A good method if you have a bench drill (even cheapo chinese) a forstner bit will do most of it very well. They come in various sizes and unlike hole saws don't have a pilot bit. The only problem I see is making the horizontal hole.
