It is imperative that the hollow and round match each other. I think a matched set of No 6s or No 8s depending on the size you wish. Check them out and if needed fix before using.
Also, I like the Hollow and Round techniques by Matt Bickford more than the ones by Bill Anderson. I have both videos.
IMO, Matt uses rabbets first to get better consistent results. Bill uses a curved gouge that I feel a beginner would have problems with, but a hand-made scratch stock could fix things if you do not go too far. Both techniques can get you there.
