Set Turning of Shawo Wooden Bowl
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Shawo Village is located in Hebei province of China, with about 270 households. Hundreds of years ago, almost every household of the village turned wooden bowls by foot-powered lathe. Besides bowls, they also made other wooden cooking utensils, tool-handles, small toys by other small hand-powered lathe. Today, only six elderly grandpas in the village can use the lathe. The younger generation, led by Li Xuemin who is in deep love and respect to the past, realized the important and responsibility of the inheritance and began to learn the technique from the elders.
With the support from various part of the society including the strong support from International Wood Culture Society and AAW, local inheritors are more encouraged and exert themselves to move forward. In the video, you can see the essence of the traditional set-turning technique of Shawo village. The demonstrator is 84-year-old Cheng Jinqing and his apprentice Li Xuemin.

Wow! It's hard to believe that 123,150 have viewed this video and only 550 have given it a thumbs up. This guy is amazing that he still does it the way he learned many years ago. Thanks for sharing.
There is something about traditional craftsmanship in today's automation that is so intriguing. The Chinese really hold on to that well.
At such low speeds, the tools have to be razor sharp!
Nice workmanship and it's interesting to see a foot powered lathe that isn't a springpole.
When I see forum posts about getting started in lathe work, it's like 'Well, you need to lay down about 1000 USD and buy some good HSS gouges etc etc'. Then...this old gentleman.
this video just makes me think: what have we lost?
in light of humanity loosing this craft and many, many more crafts, i simply cannot view modernity simply as progress....
Look at that beautiful use of the metric system.
Wow so impressed. Like the idea of saving the wood & he can produce more bowls in one go plus good leg execise lol. At first looking at other utube doing the same i said what a waste of wood but i found others that does the coring & save the wood, time & energy like this but his equipments are original & organic. Now it's most heavy metals used to do the job.
A great video, magnificent turn and left me inspired. It doesn't get any better
Love this. Thank you for sharing! I eat from a teak bowl and plate every day.
This is a perfect example of what a skilled craftsman can do, with the minimum of tools. Excellent performance, highest skill level. GF1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎

обалденно!!!
Remarkable and talented man :)
Thanks for keeping a record of such craft. Shame what so call progress might have left behind.
Oh my god!!
So cool!
Touching
The groove in that sharpening stone after 60 years? It is good to see a young person taking up the trade but he needs to get the tool in the right position and let it cut instead of using it like a pry bar.
Hermoso.
Parabéns muito lindo
Wow..
Technology for the days to come... after WWIII.
👏👏👏🌹
wooooowwwww
小的时候老家还能看到，现在这种手工的木碗已经越来越少了
I wish I knew one tenth of what that old dude knows about turning bowls.
мастер он и в антарктиде мастер
Are these bowls available to purchase?
Incredible artistry but super annoying and repetitive music on this short.
it's a pity more and more job likes this being lost
The people that use fractional inches are the ones that hates math, I think they just think oneeighth ,Theequaters and a word and not as a fraction 3/4 1/8.
That seems really tedious and inefficient.
+Blurns Id like to see you turn a bowl faster than him and you are allowed to use a modern lathe.
There is a hater in every video. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡👎👎👎👎
