Why would he be frustrated if he makes videos to show how to do it?
That seems counterintuitive.

Ya think?

One way of dealing with this is a comment made by Christian Burchard, I
believe. He said he doesn't show how to do his turnings in a class until
he's ready to move on and has developed a new direction - specifically
addressing the "basket" series using madrone burl. That way he can
explore a turning style and grow it without the distractions of others
producing his work. At the point when he's teaching how to do it, the
form/design/technique has been out there for a few years, he's tired of
it, galleries know it as his, and it's not something that holds his
interest any longer.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
