Inspired! I used to do 18th century woodworking demonstrations. Quit after a few years to take a "real job"....lol. Last summer I returned to doing 18th century demonstrations. Before I always only turned green wood on my pole lathe. I didn't think you could turn seasoned wood as good so I never even bothered. Turning dry wood opens up new opportunities because I have more access to dry wood. Thanks!
I like the fact that you seem to have more control over the entire operation with pole lathes vs electric. Perhaps because I don't have a top of the line industrial lathe that can spin down to 20 rpm but I feel like everything can go wrong any minute and the piece or my tool is going to go flying. It hasn't happened yet, I've gotten a few catches but they weren't detrimental. I've come to the conclusion that I really must build a pole lathe. Oh, and I need a big fat skew like the one you're using! my little 1/2 and 5/8 inch skews are a nightmare to use other than for scraping. Thanks.
I and many others turn bowls of all sorts of sizes on the pole lathe. Do a search for bowl turning on a pole lathe. I may get something up someday, but have many other projects to do first.
This would seem to confirm my suspicion that wind instrument makers of old could have used pole lathes in their craft. I've had thoughts of building a pole lathe to make a replica of a set of Uilleann pipes dating back to 1780.
Hi Sean . enjoyed watching this video . very good thanks. Do you know how possible it is to turn large pieces on a pole lathe ? for bowls basically . Obviously weight is the issue along with balance . If you have any thoughts or info that would be cool . cheerio

Thank you for talking about dry woods on a pole lathe

Great - the strops look very useful - and are great for getting a good edge. Harry
This was a great demonstration, thanks from Chicago.
Oops I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to be turning dry wood on my pole lathe. :) Nice video Sean
This is wonderful. It's eye-opening to see the quality of work that can be done with simple foot power.

Great video as usual, thanks for taking the time.

Impressive!

brilliant. thanks for sharing.
