Onboard Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 As one who would like to get into turning, but not having the finances right now, I ran across this turning video. Robin Wood is turning a bowel with a pole lathe. He is turning what Jarrod StoneDahl calls turning a nest which is getting two or more bowls from one blank. I was hoping that it would show all of the bowels being turned but it stops as he starts the second bowel. By the way, is that a normal turning tool Robin is using? What is it called? I apologize if everyone has seen this video already. http://youtu.be/Mz7PJ2WuLWA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid-woodworker Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I believe he is using a hook tool. I have never use one but they were fairly common. You can use standard tools with a pole lathe, Roy uses familiar gouges and parting tools with his pole lathe and treadle lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
