Hey ! Did you see the turner on Pilot Guides last night ? He was amazing – there the guy was, in the local back street market, in the Middle East somewhere, squatting on the floor using a small lathe and cutting a spindle with loose ring, spinning the blank with a string bow in his right hand and holding the chisel in his left and supporting the chisel with the gap between his toes. The other foot presumably steadied the lathe from moving around the floor. I guess the lathe was about 600mm long (two foot lathe??) The clip was only about 5 seconds viewing time so I did not catch much else.
Has anybody else seen any unusual turners?
