Amazing Woodturning Crazy - Great Working Skills Of Carpenter With Giant Red Wood Lathe

[@zizendorf]

Can only imagine how terrifying it must be to sit beside something of that mass spinning at those speeds. Let alone to poke and prod it with tools just wanting to bite in and take you on the ride of your life. Then you do it enough times that it all seems like it’s normal.

[@koobs4549]

I’m more amazed that those small points hold all of that mass. If that thing came loose, it’s definitely game over. Amazing skill, you have to respect a tool & piece of of material like that or it will make you pay. That’s what makes this guy a master, he knows how far to push it safely.

What an amazing piece of art! As a turner I am so impressed with the sheer imagination to conceive this project and the skill to carry it out. Amazing

[@patrickbrennan2864]

It’s spindle turning…..nothing complicated about it. Impressed with the endurance required, but so much of the wood could have been cut away initially (and used for other projects) instead of turning it into shavings- “work smarter, not harder” - and I thought (hoped) we’d see a fountain, with colored water at night under lights, flowing out of the top (I thought that’s why it was drilled out in the center, for plumbing). That’d be cool. You could carve all sorts of wonderful designs into it - but if it’s going to be left plain, as is, well….it could have been styrofoam or resin (and a lot less work, and one less dead tree). Hope you’re planting trees to replace the ones sacrificed to ornaments…..remember, the trees made life POSSIBLE on this floating rock in the first place !!!! Without them, this place is full of CO2, and completely unlivable……and we thank them by chopping them up, endangering our own survival. BRILLIANT Ever consider how a tree produces hundreds of thousands of leaves every year, yet the earth around it doesn’t get used up ? How do they make all that material “out of thin air” ? Leaves are mostly carbon and water…..trees pull carbon right out of the air, and can DRINK water right from the air (mostly at night when humidity levels go way up) Now there’s 8 billion of us, taking in oxygen and exhaling CO2…….and what percent of the world’s trees are GONE ? YOU SHOULD FIND OUT Because there’s a DISASTER coming WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE TREES THAT MAKE THE OXYGEN WE BREATHE.
