Working with available tools - that's awesome.

I like the way one sands while the other is hollowing.

Hollowing between centers. Clever! One makes do with what one has. Nice mortar and pestle.

Wonder what he would charge to come to the US for a demo? Has anyone seen the fellow in India that turns by guiding the tool or lathe with his feet? Can't remember but it is amazing to see the skills of these fellows.

I think I posted that. I will see if I can find it for you.

Curt, that is it!!! Has anyone noticed the guy with the machete doesn't have a face shield or ear plugs? Since he is outside, he doesn't need a DC system- just a good breeze.

That's amazing to say the least. Very interesting in all aspects of the turning.

For a lot of us, it's more about "want" than it is "need".

Watch the show Minimalist on netflix

Had to watch it again! It is interesting how he does most of the inside while the piece is on the lathe. I wish the camera had focused more on the ends of the tools. Would like to see how they are ground or filed or whatever he uses to sharpen them.
How many of us old timers remember the old way of wrapping the rope around the cup and pulling to start the lawn mower, etc.?
