Bowl turning without electricity: on the pole lathe [short version] - Jero & Pirmin Lehr
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- In this video, Pirmin Lehr shows how the bowls from "woodculture_handcarved" are made, in fact, two from a single blank. We use only traditional hand tools: a side axe, a compass,turning hook tools (here only with a straight shaft) and our self-built foot-powered pole lathe, much like it has been used since the Middle Ages.
This is the first German video here on UA-cam about pole lathe bowl turning.

This video is a short version of the manufacturing process. All in all, making the two bowls took us ca. 2 hours, of which 1 1/4 hours were needed for turning. You can find a more detailed, longer version here:

CONTENT:
To begin, a piece from a fresh birch log is split in half and cut to length on both sides with a one-man crosscut saw. The wood around the pith of the log is removed, as it is prone to cracking, and the top is hewn flat with a single-beveled axe so that the outline of the bowl can be circled. The same axe is now used to hew the blank into a roughly hemispherical shape, first hewing away the corners from below, then working out the outline.
A "mandrel" with iron spikes is now hammered into the axed blank, around which the cord (hemp cord) of the pole lathe is then wrapped, which is connected at the top with a rubber cord (traditionally a long wooden pole), and at the bottom with the treadle. After mounting in the lathe, the turning of the outside can begin. We use well-sharpened hook tools with which to cut on the downstroke.
During the roughing-out the blank is turned round until all axe marks have disappeared, further shaping and turning of the surface follows with a thinly ground, freshly sharpened hook, with low advancement.
The bowl is then unmounted, turned over, remounted, and the rim turned off and chamfered. This is followed by turning out a channel about an inch wide, primarily with a right-ground hook ("tip down"), with which the core is undercut further and further. The wall thickness is checked by feel and with the aid of a caliper.
Finally, the bowl is polished with shavings, unmounted and separated from the core by splitting it off with a bent gouge, so that a smaller bowl can now be made.
To do this, it is axed off at the bottom, centered, turned on the outside and hollowed out on the inside, just like the larger bowl, but only a thin core is left standing, which is then broken off. (While turning, you can see a leather strap here, which is more durable than the hemp cord). Again, the centers are cleaned by carving, outside with the gouge, inside with a large hook knife ("twca cam").
Finally, you'll see the carving of the maker's mark of "woodculture_handcarved", a simplified tree of life with a K for "Kultur" attached (German for "culture").
The two bowls are now allowed to dry for about 2 weeks and will later be oiled with organic linseed oil.

Поздрави от България.
Златни да са ти ръцете.❤❤❤🎉
Exceptional technique. Your tool control is some of the best I’ve see. I would have guessed the bowls were made on an electric powered lathe. Really liked your tool selection. Thank you for the demo. From Colombia, S.A.
To show you how soft modern living has made us. This is an art of skill and patience
I would rather have wooden bowl, plates, cups, etc. than plastic.
NZer here. In 1996 while driving around Britain I ran across a Heavy Horse Day near Cambridge. The side stalls included someone operating a pole lathe. I was very impressed at the utility of the process, Never forgotten, it's why I clicked on this.
I later learned the origin of the term "bodged".
Amazing wood working and with todays technology would have been done quickly but to watch someone use old school equipment I’m just blown away at the craftsmanship a lot time patience you sir are a true artist thank you for sharing your work and talent 👍
Ich liebe altes traditionelles Handwerk, dies hat unsere Kultur geprägt und uns zu industriellen Höchstleistungen geführt. Solche Beiträge gehören in Schulen vorgetragen um dieses Wissen nicht zu verlieren.
Ich stimme dazu
The lathe is my favorite tool of all. I never saw anything like this though. I lived in Germany and toured there for 9 years and missed this. Wish I could have seen it first hand.
I really like the idea of using the center cone for a smaller bowl instead of just a large pile of of shavings. Well done.
Thank you, inspiring to see such beautiful work
Q manualidad vien jeniosa
Замечательная работа, и классно снятый ролик, благодаря ему у вас на одного подписчика стало больше. Я и сам тоже любитель ручного труда, но только моё увлечение связано с кузнечным делом.
I seriously appreciate the skill and hardwork displayed by this humble artisan. Using simple tools to make household items can be tedious and rather difficult. But the end product is a beauty to behold.
❤ ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful work. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Da maestro, complimenti.
Amazing... Thank you for sharing. Loved every second of the video.
This is the 2nd time i seen a person use this method. Still very mind blowing. Great work.
Sehr schön auch das Kernmaterial zu verwenden, es tut immer in der Seele weh, wenn man soviel gutes Holz zerspant
He is a true craftsman
Skills and patience. Excellent work.
Geeez I wasn’t expecting you to pop the center out like you did, bravo 👏👏👏 impressive craftsmanship!
Sehr schön! Solch ein Handwerk darf nie verloren gehen! Danke!
Станок отпад (супер)!
Отпад левой ноги))
@@arseniyseleznovveroboj1571 Вашей? 😁
Silver Dollar City in Branson Mo would love this fella. I hope he makes the money he’s worth & can pass this on to another.
This channel nearly salvaged this entire platform that is overly saturated with nothing but worthlessness. Thank you for sharing this.
Papa tienes un arte y un pulso increíble dios te bendiga. Saludos desde. Puerto Rico.
Superowiasta drehmaschina und die klamotten. SUPER
That was extremely cool.
Excellent work! Congratulations and thans for download !
Thanks from Brazil. Very exclusive pieces, well done
Bravo et merci pour vos magnifique vidéo 😊
Das ist.......
This is wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you. That was so interesting. The innovation of our engineer ancestors never fails to impress me. Best wishes for your chanel.
Wonderful technique. And very nicely paced and edited video. New subscriber due to this video. Almost makes me want to build a foot operated lathe!
Thank you very much. We really recommend to build a pole lathe and encourage everyone to start bowlturning. It really is a wonderful technique once you've learned the basics.
And it's very fascinating how much information there is about this technique compared to 5 or 10 years ago. You can have a look on the playlist shown at the end of the video.
Yes sir! I subscribed just now because of this video. Love this type of craft.
@@holzkultur_handgeschnitzt how make machinne?
@@Recoletor If you want to build a pole lathe like shown in the video search for "building a pole lathe" or have a look on the pole lathe plans from Sharif Adams for example.
Not really a ‘pole lathe’ as he was using bungee cord for his power source instead of a springy pole as is traditional, but a good couple of well made bowls nevertheless. Incidentally, I wonder if he made his own clogs?
Tolles Video 👍
One of the most brilliant things I saw on yt ❤ What a skill! 👍🏻
Экономия древесины 👍
Brawo! The lack of motor is compensated by patience, skills and feeling of the material.
Awesome dude!
That looks like so much fun!
Завораживающее зрелище 👍✋
That's some serious skills....love the lathe n ur techniques from start to finish
Wow. This is awesome.
Really satisfying to watch.
very cool lathe, awesome work!
Pięknie. GRATULACJE
Não existe maior prazer de poder dizer: Fiz com minhas próprias mãos! Obrigado pela postagem e por seu trabalho! Saudações do Brasil!
😮😮😮0😊a9
Wow my dream! Love the wooden shoes!!
It is said that because his left leg is so much stronger than his right, he can only walk in circles, and has to spiral toward his destinations. 😀👍
Thats mean 😂😂😂
Lol
He compensates by wearing two left shoes.
But is it stronger than his middle leg?
If you challenged him to a butt kicking contest, make sure he just uses his right leg.
Belo trabalho! Muito engenhoso e prático o seu torno de madeira. Parabéns! Te saúdo daqui do Brasil.
Great skill, well done
Very cool!
สวยงามธรรมชาติ ทำกับมือ หาดูยาก สุดยอด
...BRAVOOOO... super work n video...tks
*ASTONISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL* work - you got a sub.
Extraordinário, simplesmente fantástico 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good job!
One of the nice things about this lathe is that it probably won't maim you if you slip up.
Please make more videos. This channel is on its way to be a huge success. You have over a thousand subscribers with just 3 videos. You'll get exponentially more views and subscribers with more content. Wishing you the best.
Wunderbare Zurschaustellung deutscher Handwerkskunst! Weiter so Männer! Kommt bei Zeiten mal wieder bei uns rum. Grüße aus dem Harz (WE)
Danke! Das werden wir sehr gern, sobald wir es einrichten können. Es is immer viel zu tun. An Euch alle viele Grüße!
Très beau travail !!!!!
Siempre veré a este trabajo como arte pura! ❤
Будто видео посмотрел, снятое во времена Ньютона.
Sehr schöne Aufnahme die mich gerade mal inspiriert selbst eine Wippdrechselbank zu bauen. Danke.
makes me wish I were a younger man. Nice work
excellent video; thank you... subbed.
This is so amazing ❤I'm impressed by this technology
Ja ti cestitam,divno,poucno,,,👍
Nota mil pra vc um trabalho merecedor de muitos prêmios parabéns pra vc muito bom saúde pra fazer muitas outras
MUY MUY BUENO . ¡¡ EXELENTE !!
Master!
Sehr schöne video. This lathe is my dream. You operate it very skillfully. And bowls are amazing.👍🙂🙂👍
Excelente trabalho genial
PARABÉNS, BELO TRABALHO.
Ketrampilan kreatif dan bekerja keras
Ich liebe das Geräusch beim Wippdrechseln 🖖
Wir auch😀
@@holzkultur_handgeschnitzt I see you have three videos. I hope you make more.
@@manlyhallresearch9785 Thanks for your interest! We will make more. But as it takes a lot of time which we often don't have, you will have to be patient.
Sehr interessant!
Muy bonito lo q haces, Felicidades
Mengagumkan sekali 👍👍👍👍👍
Super film
Też mam zamiłowanie do drewna i tradycyjnych narzędzi ,ale to co zaprezentowałeś to majstersztyk
Pozdrawiam z Polski Mich🪚🪓🪓🪚
Супер идея
❤bastante significativo esse trabalho ❤
The best.. Thank..
Magnifique
Solo Dios da esa habilidad. Gracias
Так вот значит как Александрийскую колонну проточили, а говорят станков не было. Были !!! просто погнили они же деревянные. Реконструкция бомба!!! Есть еще как четверо стариков кайлом жернова из массива на глазок рубят прям как египтяне обелиск пестиками в скалах. Верю в силу мысли и прогресс
Bravo samo napred
Too cool
Belo trabalho
Richtig gut! Gern noch mehr son Kram!
very smart👍
Could even engineer the pulley to be less muscle intensive with a bigger log, and possibly make a good sized mug if the larger bowl could've been an inch bigger. Great work!
parabéns meu amigo pelo trabalho
Nice
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☺Respekt from Kavkaz!
And people wonder how Egyptians did those funky stone bowls and carved and polished stone and such. I suspect they had elaborate wood tools just like this guy
Wow, respekt!
ما در دوران قدیم از این وسیله برای تراش چوب استفاده میکردیم .درود من از ایران به شما عزیزان
Aqui e BRASIL nunca visto parabéns gratidão por nós mostrar como sair da caixinha
An interesting technique for creating wooden products, although physically long, but without the cost of electricity.
Ansich ja gut gemacht und auch fast altes Handwerk wenn da nicht die ganzen "neuen Bauteile" an der Wippbank wären Gummibänder, Gewindestangen, Unterlegscheiben und Muttern. Mann hätte da mit Umlenkrollen aus Holz und einem Gegengewicht arbeiten können. Aber von der Verarbeitung her super👍
Hier nun die traditionelle Wippstange:
