Hey everybody, thanks so much for the great comments about my debut Woodworking Video. I had some more creative ideas to share along with another track that I had recorded about a year back entitled “Autumn Treasure”
I hope you might enjoy it.
I also included a poem to go along with this piece in the end of the video same name as the title.
Forgive the quick speed reading headings as the track swiftly moves by…lol….but I only have so much time and the pause button here can be a handy friend…lol
You will see a few more tools, past projects, some historic family pictures, and some wonderful photographs taken by my beautiful and talented girlfriend Jenn (Thank you for the use of your great work!)
So if this inspires you to rock out, carve, saw, woodturn, laugh, drink a good beer, pick up your drums, bass or guitars, etc…etc….please do and make sure it’s all of the above..lol, just make sure all of the sharp object stuff is..pre beer…lol
Thanks friends…and so glad to make some new additions to my buddies list!
Be well.
Joe

I was happy to see the lathe spinning, it looks relaxing with the wave moves, and less violent than a moter lathe.
Very poetic and positive poem – thank you.
Best thoughts,

Thanks Mads glad you enjoyed it. The Springpole Lathe is definitly a teacher of disipline and patience, but once you have it set and going the magic takes place as the shavings commence. This is my only turning experience so far. I have yet to get even up to some more advanced 1700-1800 foot pedal lathes….lol…Of course a powered one would be nice as well. In time I’ll get there. Thanks again!

I have most of the parts ready for a pole lathe, but it will be even more simple.
But I think it will be for next summer since it will be a outdoor project.
Smiles,
