Really amazing. Thumbs Up

Problem in this world: not enough people capable of doing things like that because they assume everything is automated and perfect and nobody needs to have any hard skills any more.

You could put that guy in the woods with a couple of sharp tools, come back the next month and he'd have made himself new tools, a lathe, a house, boat and pool Laughing

Reading the thread title I thought it would be about the gingery lathe, which is you home-cast from aluminium.

This one was still well good though, I can't work with wood for shit, unlike metal so he's got my respect!

I really enjoyed watching that.... nice find.

Don't know if anyone else watched it and imagined the Benny Hill theme rather than The Entertainer.

That's it, I think it's the way he uses only handtools and it all slots together perfectly without nails etc that impresses me the most!
