Good one.
But I think I'd get bored turning the handle all day.

No dust protection? Banksia dust is nasty.

At least in 1926 they understood the use of machinery guards!

Works okay, but you lose the fun of woodturning.

Brendan,
an interesting video, and raises a couple of questions. Part way through (when it shows the stationary cutters) the caption says they need to be set up by a skilled machinist, is that Wolf or... well, where you find someone who can do that theses days?, and
It's a Hammer Lathe, to me hammer handles are elliptical in cross section, does it (did it) have a cam action to create this shape although now not used or possible removed?
Thanks for the work you put into the video as said, that's another bit of our crafts history recorded.Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!
