You've got to see this to believe it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEibt31OlCA
Video from Romania, featuring an outside pole lathe and an unbelievably skilled old man who makes a wooden canteen the old fashioned way. This guy is right on the money with every swing of his hatchet, and pretty good with a saw too! The lathe is old and rickety, but he can make it work! I guess if you have next to nothing, you'll learn to use what you have. This will inspire you and make you grateful for what you have!

He looked really sharp at it. I learned that he is probably the last turner in Easter Europe so that has to account for something. His angles are so precise that one miscalculation will result to an imbalanced piece.

His talent and precise hands should be celebrated. I envy him, actually but that goes with experience.
