It took me some time to find the page with the pictures of Eli's tools. But I finally found it:

As woody says.... you should not miss TURNFEST
I have to tell you that, at least in Europe, it is an honour to wear the turnfest smock with your name on it.

Ed, like you, after having re-watched the video several times I see that it is just an appetiser leaving you with your hunger :U

Concerning the lathes, I must say I have been very disappointed...

In order to help me put my neurons back in place at this time of the day could you remind me your real name. Are you the turner of the fantastic off centre miniature goblet with two captive rings?

John, I see you like turning miniatures....

When I see this nice collection of cutlery items I guess you must appreciate using them as well :)

That is great Jefferson
And congratulation to Anne.
I must say I'm always surprise to see how easily ladies start turning. They never fight the wood, it looks like they are slow, but when finally...

Hello Jales
What an interesting question!
I think you could get 50% answers overhand and 50% answer underhand.

Funny, I thought I wrote on each photo, in English, click to see next picture, but I do apologise, I' probably didn't pronounced it with the correct accent.:U

The French association of wood turners organizes every year a "moving exhibition" of pieces turned by its member. Each member can send three piece to a jury which will select the participants....

The bedan is a really fantastic instrument if used correctly. It is a French technique used since the XVIII century, used with talent by the word wide known eccentric Master, Jean François Escoulen...

It might be a question of language but I never use sandpaper but a sanding clothe. The advantage is when you fold it it does not break leaving a bad edge which tends to leave bad signs on the wood.

For the first goblet, If Y were to be closer to where you live I'd open a bottle of Champagne.

The sculpture technique is difficult to master, but one can succeed with patience, but art is something which belongs to few certainly not to me.
