Thank you this is so interesting! What wonderful mugs!

thank you for sharing this. i had no idea you could turn greenware on a lathe like wood. i would have thought it to fragile. The world is a little bit dimmer for the loss of these dedicated and generous mentors. "Jonathan Shaw Rickard passed away on October 15 at his home in Deep River, Conn., at the age of 80. Born on April 4, 1942, in Attleboro, Mass., he was the son of Ruth Wheeler Rickard and Robert Hazard Rickard. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jonathan’s memory may be made to Historic Eastfield Foundation, c/o William McMillen, 3 Timber Lane, Glenmont, NY, 12077." "Don Carpentier was born September 22, 1951 in Knoxville, Tennessee before eventually moving to New York in 1954 and finally to East Nassau with his parents in 1966. Don was a self-taught craftsman, tinsmith, blacksmith, potter, carpenter, and mason, as well as a teacher, mentor, father, friend, husband, brother and uncle. Regretfully we lost Don from ALS at the early age of 62 on August 26, 2014."

Nice color

Similiar machines were used in the manufacture of parts for internal combustion engines. Specifically the camshafts and to so degree pistons. Camshaft profiles were ground using a Master Cam that would be followed by a roller. The roller was mounted on a cradle that would rock in and out allowing the cam profile to ground. Pistons are made with elliptical skirts. Some were turned with elliptical profiles mounted on the spindles the would move the cutting tools in and out.

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤Wish they still made them.

Wow! ❤

Rest in peace.

Brilliant

I was a hand glazing manager at Johnson Bros in Croydon Victoria Australia, Table Ware Manufacture. I spent 2 weeks in the Johnson and Wedgwood factories in England in 1998. I was shown the original lathe and a copy that was made. I marvel at its function and have talked about it on numerous occasions since. My, possibly faulty recollection, was that it had wooden cams and rope or leather belt-driven pullies. Note: I went on to become the Production Manager at Johnson Bros Croydon until its close in 1985. At peak production, we produced 250,000 pieces a week!

It's so beautiful. I never see that coming.

This is an ornamental lathe sometimes called a rose engine they operate differently than an engine lathe which is made to machine engine castings

Thank you for showing this technique. I've never seen it live before. The origin of this technique must obviously come from ivory turning in the 17th century. The technique seems to be very similar. ua-cam.com/video/Y5TZWNIfsoE/v-deo.html

Awesome! So what intriguing use did the old potters do with the pieces of shaved slip? In the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, there is an engine turned Wedgewood vase with a disparaging comment by the curator about it being an easy technique, ignoring the fact that it has hardly been done since, in the last 200 years!

that was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for this. I am currently writing an art history dissertation on English pottery and have been trying to figure out how these lathes worked -- what a revelation your research is!

I built mine out of an old geared down gate opener in a day .Works like a charm....

You leave me speechless

That is just beautiful

What a craftsman wedgewood would be pleased

I'm intrigued, wondering what the shavings were used for? Is there another video?

Interesting. I have always seen the potter's wheel as the precursor of the wood turning lathe.

Exelente

Beautiful process Don, very interesting! I used to work in a pottery producing plant when I was younger, and these days I'm woodturning, so both worlds combines equals beauty. Yuval

THANKSGIVING

Radical! Mechanized sgraffito! How amazing.

beautiful, thank you for sharing

very knowledge machine. please furnish the address of supplers

Thanks a lot for sharing and taking your time to investigate, very interesting. I know this would be another type of lathe, but I wonder if the screw-thread at for example ceramic bed-warmer bottles also were made on a lathe.

How is the pot created before it goes on the mandrel? What is the mandrel made of? How does the pot not slip on the mandrel? How is the pot removed from the mandrel?
