I thought this was interesting how he made the vase with some primitive home made looking lathe and tools.

The process was really cool JT, I love seeing how folks create different ways to create. Big turnings like that really don't need anything fancy to rough out do they, just a piece of iron with a grind tip, really if you think about it that should work.

Gotta admit, sometimes I cringed with his use of gloves in some of those operations, but like a whole bunch of us, we have our ways and we know what we are doing, and comfy with.

Thanks for the share JT!

He certainly didn't fret the details but it worked.  Thanks.

He made it work!

Interesting. But I can see some cracks in his future. He did not hollow enough to let the wood dry. That is an interesting problem . Another thought is gluing dry wood to wet. 

Personally, I cringed at his work on the table saw. His fingers DEFINITELY were too close to the blade for comfort! Nice turning, though. Thanks.

There is a guy who is courting disaster. The fingers/hands remaining attached are optional.
