Thanks for that… I was born in 1958… so it has some meaning to me…
a life well lived and well commemorated.

That is a great video, who would have thought it possible to turn a set of bowls like that.
Amazing, thanx for posting

Larry, me too I was born 1958.

Gary, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks.

That was great.
I love to see woodworkers using old techniques and what not.

It make me happy to see video’s that connect us with our past. Goerge Lailey, was probably an incredible man. Robin Wood, is of the same ilk. Isn’t it a shame that with 300 cable channels full of sham wow, entertainment tonight, and the biography channel stuck in Hollywood, that Gary Fixler, and Robin Woods of
the world don’t find there way into mainstream television. Great Video. It’s stuff like this that keeps me hooked on the Internet…If it weren’t for my family I’d probably just get rid of the TV.

Cool video, at least this way you will/should stay in shape? This is probably out for me with my bum knee but I’m intrigued.

Very cool! It really takes you back in time.

Thanks for the great video! I think it’s really inspiring with people like Robin who do stuff really old school, one doesn’t need the latest most expensive stuff to make incredible pieces of work. It’s really neat because I’ve been thinking about how one could do bowls without wasting all that wood, and I did contemplate if it is possible to do multiple bowls from one blank. This does answer that question. Now I just got to build my own lathe :)

Beautiful. such a great way of conserving the resource.
All the respect to you and your style. I am more than impressed.
