That was entertaining.
I have the Richard Raffan movie - that makes me humble!

Great find! He's a demon on that spindle work near the end. And except
for a couple of tool choices (and maybe a treadle-powered sharpening
stone?) everything looks totally familiar!

That was reel (sic) neat - thanks for posting! Watching him use the
bandsaw made me look closer at his hands to see how many fingers he
had.

Great video. He sure made that look easy. I like the idea of turning a
knob for the top to cover up the hole where the piece was held on the
lathe.

Running cmmentary...

The piece he puts on the lathe ain't the piece he's cut with the band
saw...

And why is he sanding it when it's still out of round?

I suspect that the unfinished edge on the live center side makes it appear
out of round though it isn't...


AHA! The frst piece's use is revealed! He fits it with the lathe
running!

A nice video of great turning. Any guesses on RPM on that lathe?

FAST?

Production or professional turners are faster than all get out.
They always use the tip over the hole onto a screw in the head.

I mentioned I have Richard Raffan's tape - Turning Wood and his book.
Either is worth it to have. Methodology of this and that.

He would get a catch - take another and in seconds be turning the next.

He likes to turn wet green. It gets you wet - but turns nicely.
