random #28: Archival footage: Wood turning in Germany, 1926

Your right, all your missing is the hat! Interesting!

I got that hat !

-- Jeff,

Neat video. Makes me look like I turn in slow motion.
There are therapy groups for people with lathe envy Gary…

-- Rich in Richmond

Thanks for the video, Gary. That was interesting.

I could see you in that hat. :)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Great video—-Thanks Gary

The bottom of the bowl must be awfull thick to take the screw point in stead of using a chuck.

Nice video Gary.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Cool video….I wish my turnings came out so smoothly….love the old tools and centers….lot of them are the same we use still…

Thanks Gary for sharing such a nice piece of history….

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Reminds me of Grandpa who by the way came from Germany. Veryyyyyyy Coooooooooooooooooooooooooll

Suweet!, I like the music too. I want a lathe so bad. I’ve never turned before but man would it be fun.

Thanks

Great video I had about 10 minutes between glue ups so i watched… were did you get this? Love how he put on his “safety” spectacles .
Beware of the green eyed monster, the tools are always better in someone else shop, but remember what this guy had to go through like you said 13 years later. He was probably making parts for a tank or something.
Thanks for posting

-- All bleeding will eventually stop.

Great video, thanks. It was interesting to note that the power was not from a motor immediately attached to the lathe. It was probably a mandrel hooked to some central power source, 28 predates the small electric motors we use I think.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

Great video! Turning is art, self expression and desire. I believe it takes a great deal of talent to become a master turner and I have yet to meet anyone who believes they know all there is to know about turning…....... the joy is in the trip as well as the destination.

I’ve always wanted to sharpen my tools on a wheel that is rotating away from me rather than toward me. Glad to see somebody actually doing that!
