Here are some shots of my failed attempt to make my own hollow forms.  I spent the better part of a day

making a jig and ruining a good piece of plywood before I decided the end product was not going to be

accurate enough.  All in all it was a real pain in the butt.  I wound up ordering 15 and 25 foot radius

hollow forms from Luthiers Merchantile.  They are very nice and I highly recommend them.
