Bill Jones, The Compleat Turner

A note from Tim Inman: I have created this special channel as a place to put some video of my very special friend, Bill Jones - The Complete Turner.  These recordings were made at the Utah Woodturning Symposium in Provo, Utah, in 2001. The recordings were made by me simply sitting in the audience holding my camera by hand while Bill worked his magic at the lathe. Although he did know I was recording him at work, we were not engaged in making any kind of formal program for video. I was just wanting to document the fluid movements and talent of this wonderful man who just dripped with skill and humility. Thus, I apologize for the shaky camera work, and for the lack of proper sound. Though personable and inviting, Bill was a turner, not a performer.There is scant footage of him in existence showing 'how he did it' - and he was not just 'playing at it.'  I only wish I had more to share. I am uploading unedited segments as time permits so the world can see him work.  /historicinteriors.com
