This has inspired me to build my own Pole Lathe and I now see wood in a whole new way. I'm 60 yrs old this year - I only wish I had discovered this earlier in life but hoping for many years of learning and productivity ahead. Teach the young inspire and influence them in a good way, well done to you all. I'm very grateful for this series thank you :)
Once again I sincerely appreciate the kind words Barry and you're never too old to learn something new. Best of luck on your turning journey my friend ~Peace~
This is a great series of videos. I learned a lot and can’t wait to try all of this next summer. I would love to see a video on sharpening these tools too. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Sincerely appreciate your kind words Franco thank you, quite a few people have mentioned a video on sharpening these tools so if circumstances and Peters timing permit we may possibly do that at a later stage ~Peace~
This is most delightful and very informative series to watch with each one of the five sessions being the right length with just enough teaching by Peter to learn basic techniques, but not so much as to discourage the viewer from giving it a go. Peter and Zed, you are both humble and generous men who freely give of their respective talents to help us viewers to learn something new in woodworking. Many thanks and cheers to you both.

Zed, thank you so much. Your videos really charge me. Very good filming. I wanna also thank you master Peter Wood. Very nice great teaching skills. Even my personal hero Mike Abbott liked it as he commented on the part 3 of this series. Thanks a lot both of you. The place is full of positive energy. Thank you so much. G.
Big thanks to both Peter and Zed. Great video, again! Just ONE thing .....if the rolling pin is not turned again after seasoning, it will be oval which will not work as a rolling pin..
I was the same a few years back, if ever possible have a go yourself by possibly trying a taster session somewhere. It's an extremely relaxing and enriching thing to do ~Peace~
Excellent series of videos. Peter taught me a lot. I built my own lathe but never really used it properly. I know now that I do not have the right tools and also the technique. Thanks to you Peter and zillions of tanks to you Zed to help sharing this knowledge. BTW, Peter when are you coming to Montréal to give a course ;o)? We've got a lot of wood in the area.
Sincerely appreciate the kind words and for watching Andre, indeed Peter is a walking encylopedia and I was grateful he took the time out to share his knowledge ~Peace~
I live in Scotland & i own a electric lathe,with a great deal of to0ls & parts for it & a Chuck,but have not got much ro0m indo0rs to run it,sadly. I would swap it for one of that type of lathes,as i love greenw0od working myself & i do it DAILY outside. I even have the wo0d to build one,but do not really have the time.
@@Zedoutdoors Yup i have every part their if i Scrummage my parts cupboard for the metal parts & the wo0d & size of it all is all their,but i always get caught up with family things. One day it will happen,but i would rather trade my electric lathe for one.
@@Zedoutdoors Oh i forgot,i do not believe i live near builders of this type of lathe,or i would have bought one,instead of my electric one. Thanks Zed have a Nice 1!

Those shaving are beautiful
Aren't they just ~Peace~
Would love also to see some video on his sharpening technique. I assume he does not have a big Tormach set up there?
Peter uses waterstones to sharpen all his gouges, I posted a short video of it on my Instagram if you want to see it ~Peace~
Hi. Can i get fine shavings like in this video when i turn kiln dried lumber?
The shavings from dry wood tend to be shorter ~Peace~

Yes sadly time is always the issues, no doubt you'll find the time at some point and build a pole lathe for yourself ~Peace~
