@@delancyj67 thanks for your comment. It was a concern I held as well, however I didn’t direct him not to wear a mask, and it felt odd questioning his practices when he’s quite clearly a master in his field. Either way I hope it doesn’t affect him

I’m truly astonished and grateful to know someone somewhere has kept the knowledge of a technology alive and that in this age, people realize the value of that knowledge.

So ironic, smacking the tools with a hammer to achieve preciseness.

Ironic it is. But this is how you setup every wooden hand plane. You position the iron by hitting left or right and fix / remove it by hitting front and back.

As a fellow wood turner, I enjoyed watching your video. I practiced Bonsai for many years, and I found the Japanese style of tools interesting and easy to work with. The hook tools have a similar function to the carbide tools I use in turning. I like the fact that you get to sit down at the lathe, sometimes I wish I could. 😂

Notice that the tool rest is not attached to the lathe, making the bowl's curvature much smoother.

Beautiful work! Very nice! Each piece is unique. But I'm quite concerned to see a young person taking such risks with the safety and health of her eyes and lungs. I don't mean to criticise, but you really should be wearing whatever form of eye protection you can tolerate. You also need a dust removal system or a dust mask. They both may seem like aggravations right now when you're young and healthy. But the aggravation is more than worth it for you to avoid suffering in years to come from injury, exposure, or both. I know I sound like an old person griping. I am an old person. But I'm not griping. Don't let your golden years be fraught with unnecessary health problems that can easily be avoided now. Use P.P.E. You and your grandchildren will be so glad you did. And keep up the good work!

Western lathes also turn both ways and have fine control via electronic variable speed.
@rabeagebler77005 ай бұрын
True, but to change the speed, you need to turn a switch, whereas the Japanese lathe can be reduced in speed with foot pedals mid cut to minimise vibrations. Also, most chucks on Western lathes aren't made for turning in both directions, and most people will only ever turn a bowl in one direction instead of constantly switching between them
