For those of us who think you need to spend lots of money for a good lathe to get good results, check this out. It is very impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnv0DAR_gWA&t=1m10s -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |

Thats pretty awesome. Love how his foot is an extra hand. |

I don’t have anywhere close to that kind of skill using just my hands. Heck, with my gut, I couldn’t even bend over enough to do that much less be able to use my foot that way. Equally impressive, the guy only uses one chisel. Doc -- Hey, woodworking ain't brain surgery. Just do something and keep trying till you get it. Doc |

Very impressive. I would have never thought you could turn wood like that. -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -- Albert Einstein |

Back to where it was before we had power Rich, who said you need 5 dozen chisels ? but then I might just WANT 5 dozen LOL -- Pete G: If you always do what you always did you'll always get what you always got |

That guy is amazing! I couldn’t create that with a fancy lathe and a pile of chisels. He is not only very talented, but he has talented feet. -- " I'll try to be nicer, if you'll try to be smarter" gfadvm |

He made a good looking imbedded ring with a skew. I do embedded rings – but with a special tool designed to make embedded rings. I have never made one with a skew and I don’t think I could if I wanted to. This guy is impressive. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |

Rich, When you’re poor in a country full of the poor, you use the talent you have. He is amazing, but the most amazing thing is he used a skew. One of the most versitile tools in a turner’s arsenal, but to me it’s the hardest to master. Besides, I’d never be able to hold anything with my feet even if I could bend that way. Heck, I can’t even see them! Thanks for posting. Steve -- Steve in KY. 44 years so far with my lovely bride. Think I'll keep her. |

I’m not a turner, but if you guys say it is more impressive than I thought, I will take your word for it ;-)) That skew may be the only tool he has. -- Bob in WW ~ "some old things are lovely, warm still with life ... of the forgotten men who made them." - D.H. Lawrence |

it was awsome work; with very little. But i find it creepy watching his third hand steady’n the chisels.and what stubby,wide fingers! wait a minute, a third HAND! this guy is awsome. wonder what other extra body parts he’s got? |

I’d try it but I need to get rid of my bunions first. Who do you think would have sexier feet for trying this on TV – Thomas McDonald or Mark Spagnuolo? |
#11 posted 10-27-2011 08:33 AM |
I think Marc. Tommy would be like me, too muscle bound to hold position;-)) -- Bob in WW ~ "some old things are lovely, warm still with life ... of the forgotten men who made them." - D.H. Lawrence |
