    Default True turning.

    Proper turning using the right tools correctly, no gimmicks.

    Nearly the way I do them and nearly as fast.

    Do like the double caliper idea, one less step in picking up and changing calipers.

    Nice old lathe

    Yep not bad wonder if he can do a bowl in 5 mins or is it just spindle production work he does. By the sounds of things with all the kids in the background he's still fairly young fit and healthy also.

    Still looking forward to jim's and your video at least then they will be Aussie's doing the work.

    But , what about that flat top toolrest?

    Imagin how fast he could do it if he used an approved type of toolrest.

    Cheers

    Wonder how many you need to do to get up to that speed?
    The thing I picked up on was he left the rest in place while he sanded. A case of he has the experience to get away with it but not something us weekenders should copy.

    Video turning 1 of about 250 balusters. The spindles 2" x 24" of spanish cedar were paint grade, sanded to 120 grit. The job was completed in 1995. The average time to complete a cycle was 5 minutes. Every 10 balusters I took a short break and re-sharpened the tools, about 5 minutes. This resulted in a production of 10 balusters per hour.
    The explanation under the video.

    Don't like the last process, should get a finish from the tools.

    We actually sand to break the burnish and I would say he is too.
