It's ZZ Top!

He has a hammer for everything.

I think chainsaw proof chaps would be a good idea,especially working with knotty old hardwood and as we find out laters theres a huge nail in that log!!

[walkinthefloor]

i used to work for a tree trimming company so no chaps didnt bother me though a beginner ought to use. besides he had a holder of sorts. as far as splitting with a wedge that dont work usually because of the grain of the wood can cause it to split wrong. as far as masks go thats bad for microphones. over all pretty good video.

[Jawaid49]

Excellent demo of technique; I learned something and will work on my first rough edge bowl tomorrow, on a smaller scale though.

Thanks

He should have protective chaps or pants and the full hearing protection but if anyone who uses a chainsaw a lot (I cut trees for a living), you get fairly used to working a chainsaw and cutting tangentially as he did is fairly easy. Especially on his log rest. Also, for the metal on metal, didn't you see Mythbusters..they tested the whole metal on metal thing and it came up myth.

Shut the hell up with this safety crap! It's a turning video, and he knows what he's doing.

[Johnmorand]

This video is one of the worst examples of using a chain saw that I have ever seen. No hearing protection, no protective clothing, no face guard. Then we move to the shop and he does not wear safety glasseswhile poundin on metal, and no mask to prevent inhalation of dust, another very bad example. Standing directly on to the lathe during the initial spin up is also a dumb idea.

JT-

Great first video, just found some of the wood turning videos on You tube! I do have to comment on the T-shirt - My oldman is an excelsior fan - I am not sure how many he has! (at least three!) going to look at Part 2.

John Our woodcrafting club would thoroughly enjoy seeing how its done across the waves.We are in the Byron Bay area of Australia..sadly our club facilities do not have access to the internet so group showings are impossible. However I will pass in onto those members who are fortunate enough to have broadband or satellite coverage. On the slower internet downloading such a large file is nigh impossible. So from downunder this video was way over

[canderso]

Hey all you downunder-turners. JT's title is available on DVD. Check out the artinres. com website!

[g550]

Awesome stuff, thanks!

[iampaulie]

Sweet Jesus, I kind of cringed when I saw the chain-saw, maybe I am a wus, but looks kinda dangerous. I woulda used a wedge to split log. Turning action is fab, though.

[hewsondion]

good stuff, vid stops just as the good bit starts...

[canderso]

The finished video is nearly an hour long (56 min.). Are you interested in the next step, or the finishing process: the rough bowl had to dry for several months (not taped, obviously) before the bowl could be finished.

[hewsondion]

I am interested in the whole process, it is really good just to watch another turner work. Its amazing the little things that you pick up. Which are simple but save a ton of work. like using the chainsaw to edge the blank instead of a bandsaw etc...

maybe a highlights video would be feasable if the whole thing is 56 minutes...

Darn I wanted to watch. Oh well.
