Thread: Neat pole lathe video - Family Woodworking

I'd love to give that a go!

I think I understand it, not really that hard to get my head around, I'm sure a lot harder to actually do of course

Some points;
He turns only greed wood, and very green at that.
He uses very sharp tools that are designed to turn green wood, I'm sure that if you ran your finger along the sharp edge of one of those tools you would bleed.
He does no sanding, the somewhat rough finish seems to be desired.
He finishes with just an oil finish, he is not making art, he is making utility.

I very much envy him, he has found a vocation he loves and seems to be able make a living at it. He lives out in the countryside, paint me green with envy!

Very cool!
