Fascinating.
That tool at about 2:03 is just a tad sketchy isn't it?Fascinating.
Nervous, yes, especially when she turned her head away from the blade to avoid the chips coming from the blade. Then I noticed the chip guard dangling down.The 90 degree tools are interesting. And the tool rest. ;-)
Sam, a bunch of it is sketchy by our standards. But these are production vessels and obviously they've been doing it a long time. I was most nervous when grandma was using the radial arm saw.
Good question, I was wondering this myself. It looks a bit dark for sanding sealer though? He was using a brush, maybe from an open pot so could it have been some type of oil?What's he painting on before he does his finishing cut? Sanding sealer?

Yes, as I noted in my post just above yours.the turner presents the tool to the wood on both sides of center?
I ran the video at 25% speed and there’s a “knock” sound and the camera angle changes. I think this is the point when he changes the direction of rotation? They use wide overhead belts and changing direction is just a matter of switching between belts, no need to stop the lathe.Someone with better eyes than mine, please look at 13:10 - 13:15 time frame and tell me if the turner presents the tool to the wood on both sides of center?
