"Granpa" kicks butt in his turning style. The hook tool was interesting...and the music was entertaining. I give it a 9.5
Cheers,

Not much has changed in 80 years.
Notice there were no long handled tools and spindle gouges were used for most of the work.

Except for burnihsing with the shavings at the end.
Y'know, I rekocn the only "modern" thing he'd really be impressed with is Hermes J-Flex? Didja notice how stiff the stuff he was using was? I imagine that this was when 'twas still common for each woodie to source the bottles of grit and glue up their own sheets?

Cool
To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

That was great. Still a lot of things hardly change. You could see he had done a few of those before. The economy of movement was a joy to watch. No safety gear and sanding with the rest there is about the only thing different. Still he looked like he knew what he was about and still had all his fingers. That lathe looked quite good too.
Thanks for posting it.
Regards
John

Great stuff ! Was he plane cutting the outside of the bowl with the skew before he scraped the base and sanded ? I'd read no skews on faceplate work, I think
