And we worry about variable speed lathes and buy heaps of tools, chucks and all sorts of accessories.

Hat's of to this man's skill. He's still got all his fingers - and toes - I counted!

How thin is that Skew, I reckon around 2 to 3 mm. Not an old file it's too thin for the size, so just a piece of High carbon steel made by a local blacksmith of equal skill I'm thinking and razor sharp.

But there is no way I'm mounting my lathe on the floor and learning to use my feet.
