Go out and buy a $2000 computer lathe, a bunch of tools you don't know how to use (or sharpen, from what I have read here)...Or get you a leather strap,a willow pole and a couple other odds and ends :laughing:. Easy build, the plans have been around for a few hundred years.
I have not kept my biases a secret, sometimes I even come off as a bit of a stiff leg/old school woodworker who believes tools don't make the craftsman/woman. You either have it or you don't, buying tools is some woodworkers hobby...whether they master them or not, it is their hobby :thumbsup:. To each his own. New tools are cool, don't get me wrong. But for me it is about the wood and enjoyment of the hobby.
That was kinda a long wind up for this cool (in my opinion) video of a dude bowl turning. It's worth 5 minutes of your time.
