Can you imagine all the do-gooder OHS guys trying to shut him down.

Hi,
Having only one tool must be the greatest time saver. Most turners here would spend more time selecting from their collection of gouges, scrapers, parting tools and skews etc., and then for the carving the collection of knives and chisels our carvers have to select from would be even greater.
RegardsHugh

I admire his ability... but suspect he's going to pay for stooping over like that in his old age. :wince:

Very impressive. Bit scary at the beginning when he is using the chisel against his hand and looking away!

I have seen a photo in a early 1900s National Geographic of a Tibetan turner using an all wood lathe, wood spindle running in wood bearings, wood tool rest.
The spindle extended into a rushing stream with a set of paddles in the water. Three sharpened nails were driven into the working end of the spindle where a bowl blank was driven on with a club. Then a tea bowl was turned, inside and out at one mounting. It was a specific bowl lathe.
I have looked in vain for the photo on line to post here.So much timber, so little time.

A little more evolved ...
Paul, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtcMlEwhBGE shows a bowl turned on a pole lathe between centers, not quite a water lathe. The water lathe would at least have continuous motion.

I can admire that mans skill. It is also interesting that he used only one tool, a skew chisel. What is also interesting is that he used a cutting method, no scraping. As well note there was no sanding or glass scraping to get a smooth finish. Not even sure that his centers lined up "correctly". One foot secured the tailstock the second foot worked the chisel, one hand held the tool and the second hand provided the power. Good time for a fly to investigate his ear????
Some serious lessons to be learned from that video.
