And I complain about my powermatic 4224 with expensive attachments.. This woman is a pro who makes it work with little waste of movement. thank you for humbling me.

She does not even have metal centers. Just holes drilled in the uprights and the ends of the turning whittled down so they can spin but maintain the centering. I think the must be tapered a bit.

Thank you for the video. Enjoy watching traditional work like this.

This is excellent and captures the spirit of two crafts at once. Thanks for sharing this rare skill. It is equally interesting in that the centers appear to be the piece worked instead of on the poppets.

That girl like "What?! Skews are hard to use? Sorry, I didn't notice. My left hand was too busy running the lathe."

Amazing craftsmanship and nice people. Understanding the tradition, I still have to wonder why this family hasn't built themselves a treadle lathe? Being a blacksmith myself, I really like the handmade tools they are using. Neat video, thanks.

Two questions: Do you recall what species of wood is being used in the video and was it seasoned or green?

The wood was lime (linden) and partly dry. Stuart King

The other name for this spindle is a 'distaff' and because of their ubiquity in the hands of women, 'female' used to be known as the 'distaff' side.

So sad to see people having to work like that, cramped up o their knees in a field powering the machine with one arm while working the material with the other. If only they were a tiny little bit smarter. Clearly they are accomplished woodworkers. Imagine building a table to put their lathe on, and a char to sit in while the do it. Now that you are sitting instead of squatting, imagine powering the machine with your legs instead of your arms. It would be incredibly simple to make a rudimentary flywheel under the table with a couple pegs out the side to put your feet on and peddle it to make the piece on the lathe turn. They could use the same rope method with a small pully at the bottom and a large pulley at the top and every turn of the flywheel with your feet could easily translate into dozens forth work piece without reducing torque below what is needed to cut. I literally see enough stuff in the scraps in the background to build this, and it could be done by one person in less than 3 days easily. Then they could sit down on the job, have both hands to work the material, and spin the work piece dozens of times faster and always in the same direction instead of this back and forth where they can only even cut 1/2 the time. It would increase the individuals productivity 100 fold. Don't even get me started on what they could do if there was even a small stream nearby they could use to turn a small water wheel for power. This is literally the most inefficient method I have ever seen to do this short of trying to whittle it with a pocket knife.

Sorry to tell you Mr Stuart , but this is an old ROMANIAN and not a Romani/Romanes tradition !! Stop mixing and confusing these two cultures and peoples even because the Romanians -old Dacians- were too good, polite to accept these nomads here in this area .The Sun is quite strong and if you are working mainly outside of course you will get coloured skin . Listen their words -tipically Romanian language !
