Turning concrete?

Here's an old video from a furniture maker:

That either plaster or high density foam. No way some one could use a hand saw meant for wood on concrete.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

Still think calling it concrete is a stretch. More like Aerated Mortar or grout.

To me concrete has larger aggregate in it but I'm not in the trade.

Just don't call it Cement as in Cement Pond.

Yeah, the latest aggregate is sand. Some of it even floats in water.

Hasn't he heard of dust collection? Reminds me of the old Q&A, "What's the best lathe for turning stone?" "Someone else's."

Looks like he put up some plastic walls but don't think I saw a dust mask.

If that was the concrete I've worked with that little guy wouldn't be able to pick it up, much less mount it on a lathe like that.
